Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton and Larry Phillips were selected for NASCAR’s Hall of Fame Class of 2027, with Lesa France Kennedy also named this year’s Landmark Award recipient.
Harvick dominated the Modern Era ballot with 92% of votes, while Burton drew 32%; Phillips led the Pioneer ballot with 38% in voting overseen by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
A 50-member panel met Tuesday in Charlotte to choose from 15 nominees, and a fan vote submitted through NASCAR.com counted as one collective ballot.
Harvick enters with a 2014 Cup title and 60 top-series wins, Burton with 21 Cup victories and a post-driving role linking competitors and NASCAR, and Phillips with more than 1,000 NASCAR-sanctioned short-track and dirt wins.
The Class of 2027 will be formally inducted on Jan. 22, 2027, at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte.
