A star-studded Nascar crew was on hand to officially open the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America on Feb. 17 at Daytona International Speedway. The artifact-filled museum, which includes a movie theter, shares the stories of hall of fame inductees and is included in the price of a ticket to tour the speedway.

The hall moved to Daytona Beach last year from Novi, Mich., where it had been headquartered since 1989. It bills itself as the only hall of fame that encompasses the full spectrum of American motorsports: cars, motorcycles, off-road, powerboats and airplanes.

"The compelling stories of all of our inductees our 'Heroes of Horsepower' collectively form the foundation of our new facility," said Motorsports Hall of Fame president Ron Watson. "Combine those individual histories with our many classic racing vehicles and our other exhibits, and you have a hall of fame that is truly a must-see."

Tours of the speedway, which includes admission to the hall of fame, start at $18.
