Officials with the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame (ORMHOF) have announced the honorees for the 2023 Hall of Fame Impact Awards presented by Yokohama Tire.

"We want to recognize the people in the sport of off-road who are making an impact in off-road. There are so many great people in our sport it gets harder every year to narrow down the list. The Impact Award honorees are on track to becoming inductees one day, and each year we will continue the recognize the up-and-coming generations as they continue to help grow our industry," said Bud Feldkamp, ORMHOF inductee and board member and chairman of Glen Helen Raceway.

This year there are three honorees in each of six categories: "Adventure," "Desert," "Industry," "Moto/ATV," "Rock Sports" and "Short Course." For 2023, "Media" and "Advocacy" were combined into "Industry," and UTV honorees are recognized in "Desert," "Rock Sports" or "Short Course" rather than in their own category.  

The ORMHOF Board of Directors selected the honorees, and voting members will choose a Voters Choice in each category by email ballot. Voting takes place during August, with the results announced at the 2023 Induction & Awards Gala presented by 4 Wheel Parts on Saturday, September 9, at the South Point in Las Vegas.
