Celebrations began on Friday with the NASCAR Hall of Fame inductions of the Class of 2012. It continued on early Saturday morning, Jan. 21, 2012, with Junior Johnson serving up breakfast and autographs at the Hall.

Across the street at the Charlotte Convention Center hordes of fans encircled the facility waiting in the rain and fog, some all night long for the NASCAR Preview 2012 where they could see the cars and get more autographs from drivers like Mark Martin, Joey Logano, Bobby Labonte, and Justin Allgaier among many others.
