NASCAR's 2025 Hall of Fame welcomes three distinguished inductees who have significantly impacted the sport through their achievements and innovations.

Ricky Rudd earned his place with 23 NASCAR Cup Series victories and set an impressive record of 16 consecutive years with at least one win (1983-98). His remarkable 788 consecutive race starts stood as a record until 2015, and his total of 905 starts ranks second only to Richard Petty's 1,185.

Carl Edwards brings 72 total NASCAR victories to the Hall, including 28 in the Cup Series. Known for his signature victory backflips, Edwards achieved major wins at the Southern 500 and Coca-Cola 600. He finished as championship runner-up twice (2008 and 2011), with the 2011 battle ending in a memorable tiebreaker with Tony Stewart.

Ralph Moody enters as the Pioneer ballot selection. While he won five Cup Series races as a driver, his greatest impact came through Holman-Moody Racing, which claimed 96 races, 82 pole positions, and back-to-back championships with David Pearson (1968-69).

Dr. Dean Sicking receives the Landmark Award for his revolutionary SAFER barrier development, which transformed NASCAR safety. His innovation earned him the 2003 Bill France Award of Excellence and the 2005 National Medal of Technology and Innovation.

The induction ceremony will broadcast live on the Tubi NASCAR Channel at 8pm ET, with MRN providing radio coverage. A red carpet live stream will precede the event at 4:30pm ET on NASCAR.com and NASCAR's YouTube channel.
