Wednesday night, the NASCAR Hall of Fame revealed five nominees that were added to the Class of 2018 ballot -- Davey Allison, Joe Gibbs, Roger Penske, Bobby Labonte and Red Farmer.
After we asked fans who they thought was most deserving of a nomination, it turns out the additions were spot on.
An overwhelming 39 percent of those who participated wanted to see Allison nominated, and they got their wish.
Twenty-one percent also felt Joe Gibbs was deserving of potentially making the 2018 Hall of Fame class.
Check out the full results from Wednesday's poll and see who fell just short.
