DAYTONA BEACH, Fla (June 1, 2016) – Gary Gabelich, one of the fastest men on earth in his day, will be inducted posthumously into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (MSHFA) at the 28th Annual MSHFA Induction Ceremony Presented by Bridgestone on June 29 at The Shores Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach.
Gabelich chased speed records on both land and water during a brief but mercurial competitive career. This former Apollo test astronaut never went into space – he tested equipment in weightless conditions and performance under extreme lateral forces – but he rode rockets on land and sea.
