Tim Richmond? Does he deserve a spot?

I may be the minority here by saying this cause he's talked about well in other threads but in my opinion, No. Tim Richmond does not deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

I was young when he raced, so I shouldn't have an opinion.

I think Davey and Alan eventually get in.

Does the HoF have a section dedicated to non inductees who had a big impact on the sport, but perhaps not enough for induction?
