As the longest-running professional road racing series in North America, it took a long time for there to be a The Trans Am Series Hall of Fame. But that only makes the honor greater for the inaugural class to be chosen after almost 60 years of racing history. youtu.be/S2bPULmm944

Mark Donohue was special, which is why he is in the inaugural class of the The Trans Am Series Hall of Fame. Donohue was the driver to beat in Trans Am for four seasons, although the record books don’t fully represent Donohue’s greatness. Watch here: youtu.be/ZUf9ujDvHYY

When Wally Dallenbach Jr. first went racing in The Trans Am Series, he had "no idea" what he was doing. It seems that he figured it out, becoming an inaugural inductee of the Hall of Fame. And the series is still home for him because it's fun to be here. Watch: youtu.be/ctMDXfr_k4Q

If you know anything about Willy T. Ribbs, you know that there was a lot we had to cut out of his interview. 😂 His motive was never to make it into the The Trans Am Series Hall of Fame, but everything about his amazing career led him here. Watch: youtu.be/uTzo2gVt1VY

Roger Penske is one of the greats, not just in the The Trans Am Series Series, but in all of motorsports. There was no way that we wouldn't include him in the inaugural class of the Trans Am Hall of Fame, especially since he touched the careers of so many of our other inductees.

Bob Tullius was the 1st. He drove to victory in The Trans Am Series's inaugural event, winning the Over 2-Liter class alongside teammate Tony Adamowicz in a four-hour event at Sebring International Raceway. Of course he had to be in the 1st class of the Hall of Fame. Watch: youtu.be/6eVoCm7Y9ww

His son PJ said at the induction ceremony that The Trans Am Series was a favorite for Parnelli Jones. Driving in the Trans Am Series from 1967 until 1971, Jones scored seven wins in only 29 races in the series, but his career was enough to make him a HOFer. Watch: youtu.be/_pgUJmHEHJs?si…
