Some racing milestones connect two legacies forever.

We’re honored to announce that 1998 Indianapolis 500 winner Eddie Cheever will take the stage to pay tribute to 2026 Inductee Giampaolo Dallara at this year’s Induction Ceremony.

Their connection was cemented in 1998, when Cheever drove a Dallara chassis to victory at the Indianapolis 500, giving the manufacturer its first win at the iconic race.

Decades later, Cheever will help celebrate the man whose work has left an unmistakable mark on motorsports.

The continues, with more stories from the Class of 2026 still to come.

His driving instructor once told him: if you're going to lead a carmaker, at least learn to drive one yourself.

Akio Toyoda took it to heart, spending years training at the Nürburgring, a track that hides nothing and reveals everything a car's really made of.

That's the standard he's carried through his entire career: there's no end to making ever-better cars.

Proud to have Akio Toyoda as member of the global Automotive Hall of Fame, Class of 2026. Follow along as we celebrate him on our Road to Induction. 🏆

What does it take to earn a permanent place in automotive history?

For Harold Goddijn, Corinne Vigreux, Peter Frans Pauwels, and Pieter Geelen, it meant transforming navigation technology and reshaping how the world moves.

Giampaolo Dallara built the chassis that now defines the entire IndyCar grid.

Ahead of his induction into the Automotive Hall of Fame, Class of 2026, he took a moment to reflect on the honor, and on what September's upcoming ceremony represents after six decades shaping motorsport engineering.

This is the kind of access Legacy Circle was built to provide. Inductee reflections. Industry perspective. A closer view of the Road to Induction than the main feed allows.

Russ Jackson and Tom Barrett didn't just meet. They founded an industry.

In 1963, Jackson answered a classified ad for a 1933 Cadillac Town Car. The car never sold. The friendship did, and it became the collector car auction world as we know it today.

By 1971, that friendship was national news, live from Scottsdale.

And this September, the Road to Induction drives them straight into the Automotive Hall of Fame, Class of 2026. 🏁
