To me, he was a cool customer. You would see a bunch of them drivers running sideways and doing all. Tim would just be running around. When the race was over, Tim won. Them guys were still running sideways.

Tim Flock Among The First 25 NASCAR HOF Nominees!

NASCAR announced a history-rich list of 25 nominees for the inaugural NASCAR Hall of Fame induction class. From that list, five inductees will be chosen via a process that includes a nationwide fan vote on NASCAR.COM; the inductees will be announced in October and honored next May at the new Hall of Fame facility in Charlotte, N.C. The nominees, which include many of the sport's legendary names, were selected by a 21-person nominating committee consisting of representatives from NASCAR, the NASCAR Hall of Fame and track owners from both major facilities and historic short tracks. The HOF's first inductees will be determined by the Voting Panel, which has 50 members -- the entire Nominating Committee, 14 media members, four manufacturer representatives and nine retired competitors (drivers, owners, crew chiefs -- three each) and two recognized industry leaders. In addition, the fan vote will result in the Voting Panel's 51st and final ballot. Following are the 25 individuals who have been nominated:

* Tim Flock, two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion

* Raymond Parks, NASCAR's first champion car owner

* Curtis Turner, 1955 Southern 500 winner, considered one of the best all time

* Fireball Roberts, won 33 NASCAR Sprint Cup races, including the 1962 Daytona 500

* Herb Thomas, first two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, 1951 and '53

* Red Byron, first NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, in 1949

* Lee Petty, winner of the first Daytona 500 and first three-time series champion

* Richard Petty, 200 wins and seven NASCAR Sprint Cup titles -- both records

* Joe Weatherly, two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion

* Richard Childress, 11-time car owner champion in NASCAR's three national series

* Bud Moore, 63 wins and two NASCAR Sprint Cup titles as a car owner

* David Pearson, 105 victories and three NASCAR Sprint Cup championships

* Bobby Allison, 1983 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and winner of 84 races

* Darrell Waltrip, winner of 84 races and three NASCAR Sprint Cup championships

* Glen Wood, as driver, laid foundation for Wood Brothers' future team success

* Cale Yarborough, winner of three consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup titles, 1976-78

* Bill France Jr., NASCAR president, chairman and CEO (1972-2003)

* Bill France Sr., NASCAR founder and first president (1948-1972)

* Rick Hendrick, 11-time car owner champion in NASCAR's three national series

So, since there's a fan vote, it's up to us to try to help Tim make it in the first year! It'll be a tough job, but we can do it!

Here's a message from Tim's daughter Peggy:

"Dear Friends, NASCAR announced last night the top 25 drivers to be considered for the opening of the Hall of Fame in Charlotte. Daddy is among the 25. Please go to nascarhalloffame.com and vote for my Daddy Tim Flock. They will ask you to vote for a total of 5 people, just be sure you vote for Daddy. Please share this with all of your friends too. Thanks. Peggy Flock Black"

So, there it is, folks. Go to www.nascarhall.com and vote for Tim! Remember, a vote for Tim is a vote for the history of our sport, and the heritage of American Stock Car Racing!!!!

Okay, so no matter how many times we tell the story of Jocko Flocko, there are still folks who just can't believe Tim raced with a monkey. So our crack team of researchers went to work, and found some very rare photos of Jocko in his racing uniform!

Hey, did you know that Tim was among the first class of inductees into the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame in Dawsonville, GA? In fact, Tim, Bob and Fonty are all three inductees into the hall! Long time friend and racing historian Gordon Pirkle has done a fantastic job on the Flock display in the "moon room" of the hall, with trophies, photos and more. If you get a chance, please stop by the hall when you're in the area (and tell Gordon we said "Hi!"). You can get more information on the hall of fame here. And don't forget, Frances always comes out to the Dawsonville Moonshine Festival in October each year!
