The list of drivers is already impressive, and if Cale Yarborough is added, I'm pretty sure I'll completely lose my mind. For years I've been hoping someone would put together something like this - thanks for doing it!

What about Wendall Scott? Is he still around? Wendell Scott passed away years ago. I would like to see Walker Evans hop into a car. What about Elliott Forbes Robinson, Trevor Boys, or Jimmy Hensley.

How 'bout old Mr. Excitement himself, Jimmy Spencer? Is Janet Guthrie eligible? How 'bout seeing Mario and A.J. Foyt one more time!!!

As you can tell by my screen name - Harry Gant is #1. This awesome, is there going to be Speed coverage of this thing yet?
I would also love to see guys that drove in the 80's (when I became a fan) like Buddy Baker, Cale Yarborough, even the drivers who didn't win tons and tons of races, but were competitive and stars none-the-less like Morgan Shepherd, Rick Wilson, Joe Ruttman, Lake Speed, etc would be great!
I don't know if he would do it - but what about people like Bobby Hillin?

Wayne Andrews, still lives in Siler City NC. If I remember correct, he was the last champion of the old Grand American series. He used to run at South Boston, he may would agree to run there again.

I'd have to second the vote for Jimmy Means. I know he hasn't won, but come on, he's Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s favorite driver!

A few names not mentioned so far:
If they are physically able to run I'd like to see Jeff Purvis, Tim Steele, Jerry Nadeau and Ernie Irvan run.

You got that right, tickets to see Pearson and Petty go at it for thirty laps would be worth more than tickets to the Bristol Night race! After all these two guys are the best to ever crawl though a window.

I will have to agree with davejr, Seeing "The King" running against Pearson again would be TanFastic!!!! I would love to see Terry Labonte again as well.
