  • Bonnett to be inducted into Motorsports Hall of Fame of America: Racing legends Derek Bell, Neil Bonnett, Pop Dreyer, Vic Edelbrock, Sr., Ricky Johnson, Ed Pink and Danny Sullivan will be this year's inductees into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America at the organization's 24th Annual Induction Ceremony that will be held on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at the Fillmore Theater in Detroit. The Class of 2012 announcement was made in a press conference on the opening day of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach where Hall President Ron Watson was joined by Sullivan and Pink, who represented the accomplished motorsports legends that make up this year's illustrious group of inductees. Bonnett was one of the most affable drivers in NASCAR Winston Cup Series history, earning 18 series victories during his 18-year career. Among his 18 wins were back-to-back victories in NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 (1982 and 1983). Bonnett also won back-to-back Busch Clash races at Daytona International Speedway (1983 and 1984).

There are so many beautiful understated qualities in this 1977 image.


It's a piece of iron, not pretty but just fast. It has a few dings maybe even a few hammer marks, but very few things ever looked better than watching a hooked up car in good hands, work on a Saturday night.


Note Bonnett's posture, torqued or leaning to the left, just classic.


The local guys up front were starting to buy cars by Hopkins, Laughlin, Dillion, Howe, and others but it still was a simpler time.


Bonnett was classy as well as old school.
