2016 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductees

In this Feb. 12, 1997, file photo, two-time Winston Cup Champion Terry Labonte leans on the top of his Chevrolet racer in the garage area after practice for the Daytona 500 auto race, in Daytona Beach, Fla. The distinction of being a hall of famer is something that never really crossed Terry Labonte's mind in his racing career. In fact, the NASCAR Hall of Fame didn't exist when he embarked on his career as a youngster in Corpus Christi in go-karts in an elementary school parking lot in the early 1960s. TERRY RENNA AP
