I know you're not a Moody fan by any means but yeah, 35 years broadcasting the sport, interviewing drivers, attending almost every race over that time period witnessing many of the drivers capabilities first-hand..... I think he's pretty qualified to render his opinion in the process.I struggle with HOF's generally. Hard for me to get my head around who deserves to be considered great and who doesn't. Discussions that give credit or discredit a guy's career are really rough--especially if the guy is no longer with us. I feel this way regardless of sport. The NASCAR HOF has really put a microscope on the processes used to determine greatness. What are the qualifications for being on the voting panel. Does anybody even know? Would Moody be the first guy in your mind to be considered an expert in this sport? Frankly, we all have a HOF in our minds--and there is nothing wrong with that.

I don't listen anymore. Got rid of Sirius about a year or so ago. From what I remember of him doing that, hearing fans opinions on his show weren't much different that reading them on here. I'm also guessing that he looks proudly on his being part of the process. I know I would if it were me and I can only guess you would to if you were selected to be on that committee. As to how they get to be part of that board..... I don't have a clue who selects them. When I do look at that list, I do wonder about some of the other names on there and why they would have been selected but it really doesn't matter that much as they are getting people in there that seem to be deserving IMO.Fair enough....Just wish he would can the annual dissertation about the process which only highlights his significance in that process. I felt that his show encouraging callers to lobby for drivers they felt deserving was unprofessional and childish. Kind of like a kid shunned in elementary school paying back the world. How did he get on the panel? How does that work?
I'd guess that's why it takes more than one person's vote to get someone in there. We all have opinions. Everyone has favorites. Human nature. I think I'd rather have people in there that actually can vote with knowledge on their side.The downside of this is that when you get to know these people too well, your objectivity sometimes suffers.

Wow, a little surprised at Davey getting in already. I'm glad his father got to see it though.
The bar for eligibility is quickly becoming a speed bump.
Gordon only received 96% of the vote lmaoooo
I'm sure Moody was one of the 4%
Gordon not getting 100% is a joke!
I'm not surprised, Davey was special and I'm glad Bobby got to see it too.Wow, a little surprised at Davey getting in already. I'm glad his father got to see it though.

That alone made Davey's going in extra special.I'm glad his father got to see it though.
Who doesnt meet your "bar" of expectations?The bar for eligibility is quickly becoming a speed bump.
Oh I agree he was special, my dad rooted for him so I know all about him, but it seems like more of a "what he could have been" vote than anything else. He would've gotten in eventually, it just seems too soon for me personally.I'm not surprised, Davey was special and I'm glad Bobby got to see it too.
