Present-day stars pay homage to the past -- via social media
Six-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson was among many present-day NASCAR stars and race organizations who paid homage to their heroes of the past as the 2016 NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremony went down Saturday.
But they did so with some present-day social-media technology.
Here is what they were saying:
Such a great pic, congrats to all!! https://t.co/kY3opd04nV
