NASCAR will induct three more drivers into the Hall of Fame. Carl Edwards, Ricky Rudd, and Ralph Moody will all be immortalized. There will be other awards handed out on the night and of course, a few speeches.

Members from all across motorsports will gather at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte to celebrate the Hall's newest inductees.

Edwards and Rudd are among five being celebrated Friday night as the newest members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
