History

=20th century=

The IMHOF was established in early 1970 following NASCAR founder Bill France Sr.'s decision to hire short track racing promoter Don Naman to build a museum and hall of fame in order "to preserve the history of motorsports and to enshrine forever the people who have been responsible for its growth." George Wallace, the Governor of Alabama, formed an 18-member observer commission in 1975 to choose a site and select a design. Following the failure to pass a state-wide referendum on a state bond finance distribution to build the IMHOF,{{cite news|date=May 29, 1978|title=Hall of Fame funds sought|page=5A|work=The Anniston Star|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87151151/imhof-funding-needed-may-29-1978/|url-access=subscription|access-date=October 15, 2021|via=Newspapers.com|archive-date=October 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211015211114/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87151151/imhof-funding-needed-may-29-1978/|url-status=live}} France donated {{Convert|35|acre|abbr=on}} of land from former race car driver Johnny Ray's family.{{cite news|last=Smith|first=George|title=A house for memories; History's great machines find a home in Hall of Fame|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87158796/tas-april-25-1982-imhof-profile-8e/|work=The Anniston Star|date=April 25, 1982|access-date=October 15, 2021|via=Newspapers.com|url-access=subscription|archive-date=October 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211015211113/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87158796/tas-april-25-1982-imhof-profile-8e/|url-status=live}}{{cite news|last=Higgins|first=Tom|date=August 10, 1982|title=Hall Of Fame Recaptures Motorsports' Great Moments|page=5B|work=The Charlotte Observer|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87156960/tco-august-10-1982-imhof-profile-5b/|url-access=subscription|access-date=October 15, 2021|via=Newspapers.com|archive-date=October 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211015211114/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87156960/tco-august-10-1982-imhof-profile-5b/|url-status=live}} France opted to build the IMHOF in Alabama rather than in his hometown of Daytona Beach, Florida because Floridian politicians threatened to levy a tax on Daytona International Speedway.{{cite news|last=Harwell|first=Hoyt|date=April 28, 1983|title=Motorsports Hall of Fame races to start in Talladega|page=8|work=The Herald|agency=Associated Press|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87157726/the-evening-herald-sc-april-28-1983/|url-access=subscription|access-date=October 15, 2021|via=Newspapers.com|archive-date=October 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211015211114/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/87157726/the-evening-herald-sc-april-28-1983/|url-status=live}}
