Would love to see Kulwicki get in. I don't know if his stats will be strong enough to get him there though.

Hope Harry Hyde and Bobby Isaac get in, would be really cool to see them go in the same year, it only seems right.

Mark Martin is probably a guaranteed lock.

Glad Kulwicki is on the ballot. A pleasant surprise.
