Tonight is the NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremony. This year, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be one of three drivers receiving this honor alongside Red Farmer and Mike Stefanik. The ceremony kicks off at 8PM Eastern Time and will run until 10PM. Unfortunately for most fans, the event will not be broadcasted on television.

Instead, people have to subscribe to Peacock TV and take a Premium subscription. However, there are alternate methods of watching the event, namely MRN and SiriusXM. So, as long as fans tune into these different mediums, they will be able to catch the ceremony.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is on the precipice of history with his upcoming induction where he will join his father Dale Sr. in the Hall of Fame. This will make the Earnhardt duo the sixth father-son duo to earn this prestigious honor. The others include, Richard and Lee Petty, Ned and Dale Jarrett, Bobby and Davey Allison, Buck and Buddy Baker and founders Bill France Sr. and Bill France Jr.
