IMSA Announces Hall of Fame Class of 2026
IMSA has announced the IMSA Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
The latest group of inductees consists of six legendary drivers alongside four memorable race cars that competed across five decades of IMSA racing.
"Every year, the IMSA Hall of Fame gives us a chance to pause and reflect on the people and the machines that shaped who we are," said IMSA President John Doonan. "But this 2026 class reaches straight to the heart. These drivers didn't just win races; they inspired generations. These cars didn't just break records; they changed the way we felt about what was possible in our sport.
"Each inductee represents a moment when someone pushed a little harder, dreamed a little bigger, and left a mark that will outlast all of us. Their stories are woven into IMSA's history and honoring them reminds us why we all fell in love with this sport in the first place. It's a privilege to celebrate their impact, and to carry their legacy forward."
Launched in 2023, the IMSA Hall of Fame celebrates more than 50 years of North American sports car racing excellence and lives digitally at www.imsahalloffame.com.
Inductees are selected by a nomination committee that includes past and present IMSA executives and members, as well as a rotating group of media members with intimate knowledge of IMSA's rich history. The 2026 class will be officially enshrined in the IMSA Hall of Fame at the WeatherTech Night of Champions, which celebrates the accomplishments and great moments from the season after the Motul Petit Le Mans season finale in October.
