Five more NASCAR Hall of Fame inductees added

On Friday, the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte inducted its five newest members - Fred Lorenzen, Rex White, Bill Elliott, Wendell Scott and Joe Weatherly. Elliott, Weatherly and White are former Sprint Cup champions, while Elliott and Lorenzen are past Daytona 500 winners and Scott was the first black NASCAR driver to win a race. Elliott, Lorenzen and White appeared at the ceremony and White gave an excellent speech during his induction. Elliott's induction comes as his son Chase, 19, is celebrating his Xfinity Series championship and also having just landed a full-time Cup ride for 2016, replacing Jeff Gordon at Hendrick Motorsports.
