The Western Idaho Racing Hall of Fame was developed by Pat Minegar in 1985 to show case people that were key players in our racing community. These inductees have one way or another have gone up and beyond to support racing. Mostly drivers that showed their talents, but also their involvement of oval racing. Among them, there are also individuals that had a big part of the racing in our area, some were car owners, track promoters, track officials, group officers, sponsors, push truck operators and even a super spectator! We are proud to showcase these individuals and appreciate everything that they devoted to racing!

IHRS members in good standing can nominate individuals for the Hall of Fame. Nominations are due by July 31st of each year. At the IHRS Board Meeting in August the board will determine the number of inductees for the year and vote on all nominations. Nominations are good for 3 years. The Board will notify inductees after the selection. After inductees are notified a press release will be published on this site.
