International motorsports hall of fame
The International Motorsports Hall of Fame is a Hall of Fame dedicated to enshrining those who have contributed the most to the sports of auto racing and motorized boat racing either as a driver, owner, developer or engineer. Although people of many nationalities have been inducted (including racing legends such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, Ayrton Senna) the majority of inductees chosen are American drivers who competed in domestic series (particularly NASCAR). Only two non-Americans have been inducted since 2003.

Founding
It was founded in 1982 by Bill France, Sr., the founder of NASCAR, and is currently located in Lincoln, Alabama, adjacent to Talladega Superspeedway.
Qualifications
To be nominated, the person must be retired from their specialty in motorsports for at least five years unless approved on special means (age or worthy of special early induction). They are voted on by a 150-member panel from the American auto racing media.
Due to the opening of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, there was no class of 2010.
