Ricky Rudd, known as the "Ironman" for his 788 consecutive starts over a 32-year career, and 'Cousin' Carl Edwards were inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Friday night.

When Ricky Rudd and Carl Edwards both left NASCAR after their driving careers ended, they disappeared from the sport, going years before returning to the track. Friday night, it was as if they hadn’t left.

The 68-year-old made his mark with 23 Cup Series victories, including a thrilling win at the 1997 Brickyard 400.
