NASCAR on Wednesday revealed its nominees for the Hall of Fame class of 2024, and it should come as a surprise to no one that seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson is on the list for his first year of eligibility.

Johnson, his seven-time champion crew chief, Chad Knaus, and Donnie Allison are the three newcomers, bringing this year’s total number of nominees to 15. Johnson and Knaus are on NASCAR’s Modern Era Ballot, while Allison is on the Pioneer Ballot, a separate category to celebrate drivers who began their careers more than 60 years ago.

Per NASCAR, two inductees will be selected from the Modern Era Ballot and one from the Pioneer Ballot.
