West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall of Fame

May 01, 2024

The West Coast Stock Car/Motorsports Hall Of Fame, originally the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame, is a Hall of Fame for people associated primarily with late-model stock car racing on the West Coast of the United States. Many NASCAR Grand National Division, West Series champions are inducted in the Hall of Fame. Today, it is a digital hall of fame located online (Official website) with memorabilia located at the Estrella Museum in Paso Robles, California. Inductees are honored at an annual banquet in June at the Turn 11 Club, Sonoma Raceway, Sonoma, Calif. The members of the Hall of Fame board are largely related to NASCAR. The Hall of Fame eventually began to recognize competitors from other disciplines of motorsport including drag racing and various forms of open-wheel racing.

History edit

The hall of fame was created in 2001. Nominees are either retired, deceased or have moved from one area of participation to another, or have been active in their primary field for at least 25 years. The first class was inducted in 2002.
