Once again, NASCAR fans have an opportunity to participate in the 2017 Hall of Fame induction process by taking part in this year's fan vote.
 
Users can cast their votes online—multiple times per day, if they choose. The top five vote-getting nominees will be turned into an actual Hall of Fame ballot—there are 54 total ballots, including the fan ballot. Voting closes May 23 and the 2017 class will be voted on and announced at the NASCAR Hall of Fame on May 25.



There are 20 nominees for this year's class, including five new names: team owner Jack Roush, four-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday Jr., driver Ricky Rudd, engine builder Waddell Wilson and broadcaster Ken Squier. The nominees from the 2016 class who were not chosen last year rolled over to this year's selection. All of the nominees were selected by a committee comprised of NASCAR/Hall of Fame representatives, track owners and media.
