In reply to @sla31. Very well thought out and written. I've never been a Burton fan at all, but have always appreciated his style of driving and his off-track demeanor. When I saw Carl Edwards name on the list I was dumbfounded. The guy abruptly left NASCAR like a bad habit, then just sort of drop kicked everyone and everything about it. Even in his most recent return on television for that throwback telecast where Mark Martin joined them in the booth for a few, he stated that he didn't even want to be there. He had to be talked into coming. I can't see exonerating someone for something in an activity where they really could care less to relive, reminisce, or so much as revisit. To him it seemed to be just a j. o. b. Nothing more.

The Nascar Hall of Fame needs to be similar to the MLB HOF where drivers must reach a certain percent of votes to get in so that means some years we may not get any one, but it secures the prestige of getting in

@@extragoogleaccount6061…I say NEIL and Harry. Neil’s slightly more impressive winning percentage (18 victories in 5 full-time cup seasons of his 20 year driving career) over Rudd’s longevity (23 Cup wins over a 32 year (full and part time seasons) career.
Rudd has a much lower winning percentage.
Give it time. He’ll eventually get the HOF jacket. But this year, it should go to Neil Bonnett.

I was a Jeff Burton fan for many years, so I’ll admit I’m biased. Just like Eric is for Kenseth, but… I believe Hall of Fame consideration should consider a persons entire contribution to the sport, not just their driving career statistics. I love Carl Edwards, but he left the sport and you basically never hear from him anymore. Burton has 21 Cup wins, 27 Xfinity wins, was always considered to be one of the cleanest drivers out there, and was often referred to as the Mayor of the garage. Those are great stats for any career, but consider his whole families continued involvement in the sport. As Eric mentioned he’s the head of the drivers council, he continues to help promote the sport via NBC, and his son and nephew both continue to drive in both the Cup and Xfinity series. I think his continued involvement beyond his driving career makes him one of the top contenders for entry into the Hall of Fame, but as Eric mentioned, it is a close this year. If I’m being honest I think Biffle’s overall statistics with championships in the truck series and Xfinity series give him a leg up on that front.
