45. Elmo Langley

Elmo Langley
Elmo Langley had a very good run in NASCAR where he won two Sprint Cup races and would finish in the top ten 196 times. He may not have been a superstar in the world of Auto Racing, but he was a respectable figure and deserving of a spot on this list at the very least.

37. Ken Schrader

Ken Schrader
Ken Schrader had a decent run in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s where he won the NASCAR Rookie of the Year in 1985. Schrader would also have a decent run in other Motorsports series and though was never considered elite, was also regarded as very good.

4. Terry Labonte

Terry Labonte
A two time winner of the Sprint Cup Series (1984 & 1996) Terry Labonte is another who was named to the prestigious NASCAR’s top fifty driver’s list in 1998. Labonte may have had the two huge wins, but his overall Sprint Cup rankings are a little inconsistent in comparison to some of the others ranked ahead of him. Still, Labonte has to be considered a future shoe-in, as he was the first to receive a Hall of Fame nomination after the Hall relaxed eligibility to active drivers over the age of 55 or with 30 years of NASCAR experience. That sounds like a golden path to us.

1. Mark Martin

Mark Martin
Described as the best NASCAR driver of all time to never win the Sprint Cup championship, Mark Martin still won a hell of a lot. Martin won 40 races on the Sprint Cup series and was named to 50 NASCAR’s greatest drivers in 1998. As mentioned, Martin never won the Sprint Cup series, but was a runner-up five times. That should be more than enough to capture a spot in the Hall of Fame and is enough to obtain the number one slot on our list.
