Open to the public, the dedication of the Terry Labonte and Bill Elliott in-ground plaques will be held outside The Charles Mack Citizen Center on the Walk of Fame located at 215 North Main Street in downtown Mooresville, N.C., starting at 3 p.m. on October 3. There will be an invitation-only VIP reception after the ceremony inside the Charles Mack Citizen Center.
Terry Labonte earned his Walk of Fame in-ground plaque after his outstanding 37 years of competing in NASCAR’s top class. The native of Corpus Christi, Texas, began his NASCAR Cup career at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway in 1978 and finished fourth in the race despite just coming off the local dirt tracks in his native Texas.
During his resounding career, Labonte finished in the top-10 in Cup Series points an astonishing 17 times. He was named one of NASCAR’s 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998 and was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2016.
Bill Elliott, one of the most popular drivers in NASCAR history, will be honored this year with his in-ground plaque after his successful 37 years in NASCAR’s Cup Series. Nicknamed ‘Awesome Bill from Dawsonville,’ he competed in 828 Cup races, winning 44 races and was the 1988 NASCAR Cup Series Champion.
Elliott was voted one of NASCAR’s Greatest 50 Drivers in 1998 and was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2015. Today Bill’s son, Chase, competes in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series for Hendrick Motorsports.
