Four drivers, a race organizer and a chief mechanic comprise the six initial 2018 inductees into the USAC Hall of Fame. Two additional inductees will join them in a formal celebration of their accomplishments during a USAC ceremony in Indianapolis, Ind.

Highlighting the seventh annual USAC Hall of Fame inductions will be former USAC Technical Director and Chief Mechanic Mike Devin, USAC’s first-ever race organizer Bill Lipkey, plus Indianapolis 500 champion Troy Ruttman, and USAC driving champions Tony Elliott, Paul Goldsmith and Jimmy Sills.

The official induction ceremony will take place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum in Indianapolis, Ind. on Thursday, September 6, before USAC’s Driven2SaveLives BC39 P1 Insurance National Midget race, which will unfold on the brand-new IMS infield dirt oval.

The festivities are all part of the buildup to IMS’ Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard NASCAR race, scheduled September 9. USAC’s Hall of Fame inductees will also be saluted in a video tribute to be broadcast on the IMS Jumbotrons in front of Thursday night’s midget crowd.

Online voting for the final two additional 2018 inductees into the USAC Hall of Fame will be available on the USAC website soon at usacracing.com.
