LINCOLN, Neb. (April 5, 2007) -- The Nebraska Auto Racing Hall of Fame
Induction Ceremony will be held on Friday, Oct. 12, at the Lincoln
Firefighters Reception Hall at 241 Victory Lane in Lincoln, Neb. The

Larry Danhauer, Lincoln; Sam Hoffman, Omaha; R. (Ronney) Householder,
Omaha; Glen Robey, Omaha; Jim Schuman, Lincoln; and Darrell Zimmerman,

Edwin "Tex" Arnold

Arnold was a long-time SCCA driver with seven divisional championships,
and also served as technical inspector for the U.S. Grand Prix Formula 1
race in Indianapolis. Arnold also was Director of Club Racing for the
SCCA and worked for many prominent teams in road racing.

Larry Danhauer

Danhauer has built engines for many forms of racing including late
models, sprint cars, modifieds, hobby and street stocks. His engines
have won over 50 track championships. Danhauer was the engine builder
for 2006 NARHoF inductee Kent Tucker throughout his illustrious career.

R. (Ronney) Householder

Householder began racing midgets in 1933 during the golden age of midget
racing. He won many midget races across the country and also competed in
the Indy 500 in 1937 and 1938. In 1964, Householder took control of
Chrysler Corporation's stock car racing efforts.

Sam Hoffman

In a career that stretched from 1921 to 1946, Hoffman raced big cars and
midgets with equal success. Driving for such stellar owners as Felix
Morosco, Leonard Kerbs and John Bagley, "The Flying Cop" won races from
Indiana to California.

Glen Robey

Robey started his racing career in 1949 at the Grandview Race Bowl in
South Omaha and was a winner right from the beginning. He was one of the
early hotdogs at Playland Park in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and won the very
first feature contested at Omaha's Sunset Speedway in 1957. Robey raced
jalopies, supermodifieds and late models in a career that is still going
strong 58 years after he started.

Jim Schuman

Schuman was first exposed to racing in 1954 when his father, Bill, began
racing stock cars. Over the next six decades Schuman has been a driver,
mechanic, car builder and one of the most talented artists in the sport.
Schuman was the driving force behind the Museum of American Speed as the
initial Curator/Restoration Manager of the attraction.

Darrell Zimmerman

Zimmerman began his racing career in stock cars but soon turned his
attention to drag racing. His first drag racing trophy came in 1953
driving his Full House Flathead 1951 Ford Coupe. He set 22 track records
during his drag racing career. In 1956 Zimmerman was appointed NHRA
Regional Advisor for the West Central Division of the NHRA, and in 1961
became the Division Director for the NHRA West Central Division.
