The Georgia Racing Hall of Fame is a museum located in Dawsonville, Georgia. Established in 2002, the museum serves to preserve the auto racing achievements of notable racecar drivers from Georgia.[1]
The museum holds numerous artifacts, including a 1948 car driven by Red Byron and the Ford racecar driven by Gober Sosebee in the Daytona 500 (depicted in logo).[2][3]
Inductees
[edit]As of 2024, the museum has 130 inductees, all of whom have either previously been a racecar driver, contributed to the sport, or contributed to the museum itself.
Originally, the museum would select eight individuals to induct into the Hall of Fame. Beginning in 2010, this number was reduced to five.[4]
