Hall of Fame Racing is a racing team that competes in the NASCAR Nextel Cup series. Originally announced in 2003, the team began competing at the beginning of the 2006 season. Hall of Fame Racing is a joint venture between two former Dallas Cowboys football quarterbacks, Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, and is being initially supported by Joe Gibbs Racing. The team is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with its race shop maintained in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The team announced at Texas Motor Speedway on November 3, 2005, that for the 2006 season, the team would be operating only one car, the #96 sponsored by Texas Instruments' DLP technology. Philippe Lopez, formerly the crew chief with RCR's Dave Blaney team, is the crew chief for the car. Terry Labonte drove the car for the first five races, placing it inside the top 35 in the point standings, and guaranteeing a starting spot in upcoming races. Labonte also drove the car at the two road courses, with Tony Raines taking control at the others.
The team's highest finish in 2006 was third at Infineon Raceway, a road course, with Labonte at the wheel. The team plans to field a second car at some point in the near future.
