North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame Announces 2009 Inductees
A.J. Foyt and Ray Evernham to be inducted on October 14, 2009

---

Mooresville, N.C. - September 7, 2009

      The North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame (“NCARHOF”) in Mooresville, NC, is pleased to announce that its thirteenth annual induction ceremony will be held on October 14, 2009 at the Charles Mack Citizen Center in downtown Mooresville, NC.  A.J. Foyt, seven-time Indy car champion, winner of four Indy 500s and winner of the 1972 Daytona 500 will be inducted into the NCARHOF.  Ray Evernham, crew chief on three NASCAR Winston Cup championship teams, will be honored with the prestigious Snap-on Golden Wrench Award.

     Known primarily for his stunning success in Indy car racing, A.J. Foyt is also a winning driver in NASCAR, the USAC, 24 Hours of Daytona, and the IROC series.  In total, he has accumulated 14 major driving championships, earning him the “Driver of the Century” designation from the Associated Press.  Tony Stewart, co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing and two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, is scheduled to induct A.J. Foyt into the NCARHOF.

     Ray Evernham may be best known for having served as crew chief for driver Jeff Gordon in the 1990s, leading the team to three NASCAR Sprint Cup championships.  His motorsports career has also taken him into the IROC series as a team manager and, later, into NASCAR team ownership.  Having a keen interest in using technology to achieve performance, Ray Evernham is also widely recognized for his innovative work with pit crews and his thumb print remains on engineering systems now used throughout the racing industry.

     This year, the selection of inductees was made with the help of the public, who, for the first time was invited to participate in the voting process.  Don Miller, chairman of the NCARHOF, said, “I’m very happy with the results of this year’s vote.  As an organization committed to celebrating the rich heritage of all forms of motorsports, the NCARHOF is proud to be recognizing these two outstanding individuals during its next induction ceremony.”

     Tickets and sponsorships for this year's induction ceremony may be purchased by contacting the NCARHOF  (704) 663-5331. The NCARHOF is recognized as a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Net profits from the NCARHOF support child abuse prevention efforts and the annual Stocks for Tots fundraiser.
