U.S. F2000 National Championship has announced the formation of the U.S. F2000 Hall of Fame to recognize the accomplishments of F2000 graduates in the motorsports industry. Hall of Fame nominations are made by series co-promoters and voted on by a group including staff, competitor, sanctioning body and media representatives. One class of two to five members will be enshrined each calendar year. The new Hall of Fame recognizes the best of the best to come out of the series, be it driver, team owner, mechanic or official.
Drivers dominate the nominees for the initial class.
To qualify, a driver must have competed in no less than 10 F2000 races in his career, or finished in the top-10 in any given season's final point standings. A driver becomes eligible 12 months after his last F2000 start. Oftentimes, we'll get a driver early in his career and he may not win the Championship or even races, but gains valuable experience to help his career progress up the ladder. These drivers are just as likely to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame as a driver who won an F2000 Championship. The inaugural class will be announced at the series' second round race at Lowe's Motor Speedway at Charlotte, April 30.
