Motorsports Hall of Fame of America

La Motorsports Hall of Fame of America est un temple de la renommée et musée des légendes des sports mécaniques américains. Situé à l'origine à Novi, Michigan, il a déménagé en 2009 au Detroit Science Center^[1].

En 2017, le musée a de nouveau été déplacé au Daytona International Speedway, Floride^[2].

Musée

Le musée expose plus d’une quarantaine de véhicules ayant trait aux sports mécaniques. La collection est en constante évolution avec des expositions et des reconstitutions de course, des personnalités, des véhicules ainsi que des souvenirs.

Temple de la renommée

L'admissibilité pour être introduit au Temple est étendu à « toute personne qui fut conducteur, pilote, propriétaire, concepteur, constructeur, sponsors, mécanicien, préparateur ou promoteur de l'utilisation de véhicules motorisés dans la poursuite de la vitesse, de la distance ou d'autres records. » Un postulant doit être à la retraite depuis au moins trois ans, ou ayant été engagé dans les sports mécaniques de haut niveau pendant au moins vingt ans.

Un panel de nouvelles recrues, d'historiens, de journalistes et de sportifs à la retraite vote pour le choix final. Les nouveaux promus reçoivent le trophée de la « Puissance » lors de l'introduction qui a lieu chaque année au mois d'août.
