What NASCAR drivers active in past few years do you guys believe could be in Hall Of Fame sometime?
This is an update of one of my old questions. Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart, along with Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch and Joey Logano are ones I thought of then. Mark Martin was one other people thought of, as a maybe. Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin were other names people mentioned, as maybes. Ron Hornaday, for his Truck achievements (first Truck champ, the answer said) was mentioned, along with some crew chiefs, team owners, media and track people. Specific crew chiefs and team owners were mentioned, but media and track people were just mentioned as possibly recognized along the way.
Of these some have made it in.

Always liked Hornaday. He wasn't that good a driver, but he sure was entertaining. Earnhart once called him a "bulldog". Tenacious!!! Always made me think of a bull in a china shop.

As some of the drivers you mention are already in the HOF, I'll focus more on future nominees. Jimmie Johnson is a lock, and with Chad Knaus stepping down as crew chief after last year as well, it is very likely they will get inducted together. Kyle Busch is a lock as well. Kevin Harvick will likely make it in as he has over 100 national series wins, 2 Xfinity titles and a Cup Championship. I also see Brad Keselowski being a future inductee having won titles in both Cup & Xfinity. If Denny Hamlin is able to score a Cup title, that will make him a lock when you add his Cup wins total including 3 Daytona 500 victories.

The hall of fame should be scrapped all together. Racers get honoured by seeing themselves as champion. It's pointless.

Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Mark Martin and Ron Hornaday, Jr. are already in the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch will be elected. Some of the others, depending on who is nominated the same year, may or may not get elected on the first ballot. Carl Edwards was on the ballot for the 2021 HOF, but did not get elected.
