CHARLOTTE , N.C. — Ricky Rudd, the tough-as-nails driver from Virginia, was selected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Tuesday, along with driver Carl Edwards and mechanic and race strategist Ralph Moody, who made it in on the pioneer ballot.
The 67-year-old Rudd held the Cup Series record for consecutive starts with 788 before Jeff Gordon broke the record in 2015. The 1977 Cup Series rookie of the year, Rudd went on to win six races for the Rudd Performance Motorsports team he operated from 1994-99, including the 1997 Brickyard 400.Colton Herta shows speed as Honda fights back in penultimate Indy 500 practice sessionThe 44-year-old Edwards’ career included 72 career wins across the NASCAR’s three racing series, including 28 in Cup Series racing — most of which were capped by a celebratory backflip.
He broke onto the big scene by winning his first races in each series during an early season weekend sweep at Atlanta Motor Speedway and became a popular budding star in the sport. He won the Xfinity Series championship in 2007 and amassed 38 wins over seven full seasons at that level.
