Who should be in the next class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame? Voters will decide next month in Charlotte, N.C., but The Century Poll - renamed The ByrnesStrong Poll this month for broadcaster Steve Byrnes who died Tuesday after a battle with cancer - polled 100 people in NASCAR, asking who they would select for the Hall.

Voters in the poll include team members, car owners, crew chiefs, crew members, drivers and media members. There are 50 votes from those working in the NASCAR garage and 50 votes from media members.
Kulwicki received the most votes from the NASCAR garage with 12. Parsons received the most votes from the media contingent with nine.
