Ricky Rudd, once known as NASCAR's "Iron Man," reflects on storied career before induction to NASCAR Hall of Fame as member of Class of 2025.

In the annals of NASCAR history, Ricky Rudd’s relentless drive at Martinsville stands as a symbol of human endurance and sheer willpower; battling through searing heat, dehydration, and the agony of second-stage burns, Rudd not only clinched an iconic victory but etched his name indelibly into the sport’s history.

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

Holman-Moody won 96 races and 83 pole positions with a group that included NASCAR Hall of Fame drivers Bobby Allison, Fred Lorenzen, Fireball Roberts, Joe Weatherly and Pearson. Moody died in 2004 at age 86.
