@nascarcasm: Lesser-known benefits to being in the NASCAR Hall of Fame

Sure, it solidifies your status as a NASCAR legend, but there are other upsides not many people know about.

You get to make a speech during which you can thank all of those who helped you along the way, and if you’re lucky, such as with Rusty Wallace’s speech, they’ll forget to tell you to keep it in the sub-seven-hour range.

As a Hall of Fame inductee, you’re eligible for the NASCAR Hall of Fame Loaner service in which you can use any car from Glory Road for the day while your personal vehicle is in the shop.

They’ll unearth photos of you during your racing days that show how much sexier you were with a Selleck-level-mustache.

The speech, such as in Mark Martin’s case, is a golden opportunity to viciously diss Drake’s rhymes as “so wack” to a nationally televised audience.

You‘ll now get to say “Hold my watch … and you know what, my Hall-of-Fame ring, too … ” before slugging a guy in the garage.

In addition to becoming a member of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, there’s a chance you’ll also become an honorary member of Blake Shelton’s team on “The Voice.”

The blazer has an inside pocket ideal for sneaking a flask into the ceremony to help yourself loosen up before your speech.

A special, secret phone line where you can prank call drivers who weren’t voted into the Hall of Fame and ask them about their car’s extended warranty.

If you want, they’ll introduce you as “NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee and Xfinity Series rookie … ”

It can provide you with a wonderful moment to reflect on your accomplishments and look to the future. For instance, “Hmmmm – I’m in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and now the NASCAR Hall of Fame … maybe now’s the time to coach some basketball and stay on this roll.”
