Georgia Racing Hall of Fame inductee Red Vogt is among the latest group to be nominated for induction to the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Vogt joins three-time Cup champion Tony Stewart, the late Neil Bonnett, NASCAR Xfinity Series pioneer and two-time champion Sam Ard, former Daytona 500 winner Marvin Panch, and short track master Jim Paschal on the list of new nominees.

Vogt, a pioneer racing mechanic who built the sport’s first Championship winning cars out of his famed 24-Hour garage in Atlanta, Georgia, was a founding member of NASCAR and is credited as the man who named the organization.

He was a first year inductee into the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame in Dawsonville, Georgia in 2002. A reproduction of his famed garage has been constructed at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte.

Vogt passed away in March of 1991.

Five inductees from a list of 20 nominees will be chosen for the 2020 induction class on Voting Day, Wednesday, May 22 – the list of new honorees decided on by both the NASCAR Hall of Fame Voting Panel and a nationwide fan vote on NASCAR.com
