Kermit High School Article Neutrality Question

I just noticed a page that I regularly maintain was tagged as "The neutrality of this article is disputed" (as of September of 2011). I just wanted to know exacly how and why the article is in dispute since you left me no indication of what exactly was the issue in this case on the discussion page of the article. Please let me know what exactly is the issue is so that I can work on fixing it right away.

Also, I know the article is detailed, but I have never really heard of "too much information" on a site that is supposed to be educational. Just because a large number of people may not be interesting in Kermit HS doesn't mean we should limit the amount of information out there about it because someone might miss out on learning something that they may find interesting and/or educational. To my knowledge, there really is no irrelavent info in the article like your tag indicates. However, if you found such somewhere let me know so that I can correct it because I can sometimes overlook things too. Lastly, please consider removing your other tag which states, "This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may only interest a specific audience" because all this really tells me is that Wikipedia doesn't care about the details in articles that don't receive the attention of the whole world. I don't mean to be rude, but that last tag was just kind of insulting.

Branson Air Express 2011 01 10

Just got a message of accusing me of disruptive editing, an being non Neutral. How was my edit none neutral? I allowed the edit of the navbox indicating it is an airline to remain, even though it is clearly NOT a Certificated Air Carrier (Airline).

Since I do not know how to make a navbox fully I was hoping someone could work with it to transfer it into one that would be easily transferable to the other navbox public charters of similar to the public charter that Branson Air Express is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.183.168.207 (talk) 16:26, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Champ Car drivers who never qualified for a race

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of Champ Car drivers who never qualified for a race, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Langhorne-race-sign.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Langhorne-race-sign.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 13:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jocko Maggiacomo

I want to make sure that you know that there were 2 drivers with that name who were father and son. This article is about the son. I think the father was the famous sports car driver, so please check that the driver is from the right era. I think the father was known from his driving in the 1960s to 1970s, and the son from the 1980s. Royalbroil 03:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport

I don't know what your definition of "vanity" is. I do know that your removal of everything pertinent about this airport facility was way overboard. Apparently you have come to that realization, too. FYI, there is a community center there, and the Sunrise Side Woodcarvers had the event as reported in the Alcona County Review. The event is now past. I have no interest (pecuniary or otherwise) in any of these activities or enterprises. So from my point of view, I don't get your pejorative use of the term. In fact, I believe that in the context of the larger and more complete article, and the transformation of the airport form military to civilian uses, this item belongs here. Let me know what you think. Happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 02:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Stan[reply]

Thanks for your thoughtful response. From my perspective, I did not know of any of this until I read the local paper (and I do use that term loosely). 7&6=thirteen (talk) 02:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Stan[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Firestoneindylights.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Firestoneindylights.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 09:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Juan Carlos Bolaños

I noticed your edit to the 1972 24 Hours of Le Mans regarding this driver. I'm not entirely sure if the source which you provided is necessarily correct, because two of the sources I use seem to say something different. Both the Le Mans Register and World Sports Racing Prototypes pages list Belanos as "DNS" for the 1972 race. From my understanding, this means he most likely practiced in the car, but was not assigned to drive. Granted, the #80 Kremer Porsche only lasted 39 laps, so it's possible that he simply did not get a chance to drive, but this is usually denoted on these two pages as "DND", for someone assigned to drive for the race but never getting an opportunity to get in the car.

My policy has always been to only assign the drivers which were meant to drive in the race and leaving out others who might have driven but had been dropped for various reasons. Are there any other sources which state that Bolanos was assigned to drive in the race? The359 (talk) 04:50, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Obama

I have an outline of a lengthy and legitimate article at User:THF/Obama with not a single "nutball conspiracy theory" in it. I'll draft it off-wiki this weekend. I encourage editors to participate in this project by sending me sources (or perhaps fully drafted paragraphs) rather than battling at DRV or on the Talk:Obama page about intermediate stages. If we present a fully-sourced, well-written neutral article, there shouldn't be a problem -- and if there is, it will be pretty damning of Wikipedia. THF (talk) 15:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

As you are aware, the whole point of speedies is that it does not involve lengthy discussions. WP:Athlete seems to apply to participants, unless I've misunderstood (in which case it needs to be clearer). This guy seems to be a engineer, not a participant. I'm not clear why that makes him notable - David Beckham may be notable, but that doesn't mean the guy who cleans his boots is. Also, there are no independent verifiable sources to show that he meets the notability guidelines. You are of course at liberty to recreate the article. jimfbleak (talk) 05:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:World Series by Renault drivers

I noticed your comment on the talk page, about the missing pre-2005 drivers. Basically, I was going to stick them all under the Renault banner. It's similar to the GP2 Series/GP2 Asia Series drivers, who are all under the GP2 banner no matter which series they drive in. Similarly, the European F3 Open (née Spanish F3) drivers are all under the Spanish Formula Three banner. Hope that clears it up a little. Regards, Cs-wolves (talk) 00:49, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2010 race in Brazil

Actually, the "A1GP issue" IS related. The A1GP series have released their schedule with a race in the weekend of March 13-14 (the same weekend of the proposed IndyCar race). The IRL have yet to announce the venue for the race, so the event may go to A1GP or, as I've seen in another report, it could be a combined weekend.

CSD tagging

Hi Drsique, I hope you don't mind. but I've removed your speedy tag from Woodstock Sound-Outs: Roots of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, as no context is really for very short articles which just can't be put into context - a good guideline is that if you can categorise it then no context probably doesn't apply.

Fire department photograhy

Your PROD was removed by the original author. I suggest AfD. I'll vote to delete it you do. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:15, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please advise me on how I could add the Fire Department Photography Wikipedia. I believe the site meets the criteria set forth for inclusion into the wikipedia community. Fire Department Photography is not an advertisement site or for profit organization. It is mainly a site dedicated to the Fire Service for informational purposes related to photography. I am not trying to promote the site as much as I am trying to promote the type of Photography. I thought it would be no different than lets say Sports Photography, Nature Photography, or Fashion Photography. It is just called Fire Department Photography. I don't own the web site: I was just trying to add it to the information list. Thought I would try my hand in Wikipedia.

The fire service as a whole has a long proud tradition related to its service to the community and uses photography to tell the story. That story is being captured through the use of the web site listed. Maybe a Wikipedia page is not warranted in this case. But each time I try to add the web site under links on Fire Photography it is deleted. I am trying to work within the rules posted but must be missing something. Please help me understand what I am doing wrong. Tctrenr (talk) 04:55, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CSD declined for James Maslow

Hi! I've declined CSD for the article James Maslow as under the criteria of CSD A7, if there is any assertion of notability, no matter how small and unreferenced, the article is not a candidate for speedy deletion. It is a candidate for PROD or AFD though. Stephen! ^Coming... 23:45, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My concerns about your tagging articles as WP:CSD A7

Hi! I've just been through a number of articles you've tagged as CSD A7, and have declined all of them. Looking elsewhere on your talk page, I can see that others have been doing so. Could I please suggest that you review the criteria for notability and speedy deletion? It explicitly states: The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source.

In other words, even if an article is unreferenced, but makes some statement about how it is notable, then it is not a candidate for speedy deletion. One of the bands you tagged stated that it had been awarded the 2008 High Times Magazine “Doobie Award” for best new underground artist. That is a credible assertion of notability. If it were to go to AFD, it may be decided that this is not sufficient notability, and that the article should still be deleted. In which case so be it; that is what AFD is there for. CSD criteria are deliberately narrow to prevent new unreferenced and short articles being deleted without being given a fair chance.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me a note. Stephen! ^Coming... 00:11, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scott Harrington article and mention of his DUIs

Based on the amount of resistance you're getting to including the text about Scott Harrington's DUI arrests, I'd suggest opening a talk page discussion about whether to include the text and, if so, how. There might be more support for a reworded mention. —C.Fred (talk) 23:37, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Going back far enough, I see User:Tired66 contributing to the article. While Harrington's racing number is not mentioned in the article, I can see your conclusion that that user has a COI, and I accept it as a reasonable conclusion. I have opened discussion on the talk page. For the record, your revert was the last thing time-stamped before my message, in case the last sentence of my comment comes into play. —C.Fred (talk) 23:49, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Drdisque! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 35 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons.

Article of the month – 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, new Good Article.

The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third.

Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill-handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth.

There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season.

Hi, I'm not the creator of the article, but I believe we were editing on the article at the same time. I followed one of the links, and it took me to the PBS store, where the video of the special which aired on PBS is being sold. This article probably needs to be improved, not deleted so quickly. Please consider allowing the article to remain for enough time for it to be improved. Otherwise, I believe AfD might be the more appropriate venue.

Article of the month – 2010 Food City 500, a recent good article

The 2010 Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee was the fifth race of the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. The race began at 1 p.m. EDT on March 21, 2010. The 2010 Food City 500 was televised on Fox and broadcast on PRN radio. This race marked the last appearance of the rear wing on the Car of Tomorrow, with the spoiler returning the following race. This race also was the first of three in Carl Edwards' probation following his altercation with Brad Keselowski at the previous race at Atlanta Motor Speedway; Keselowski was sent airborne, subsequently crashing on his side door. The race had 13 different leaders, 39 lead changes and 10 cautions. The race attendance of 138,000 marked the end of a long streak of sellout seats at the track, which has a capacity of 158,000. The race had been a sellout since 1982.

Request for undeleting Cyberoam Security certifications

This happened too fast. Today morning I received a speedy deletion tag on Cyberoam Security certificationsfrom you or someone else which alleged that the page was promotional. I tried to contest the tag by adding this: {{hangon}}. I was open to constructive suggestions in the user talk page and would have edited the whole article but before I could react, the article was speedily deleted by Fastily (talk · contribs). I request that I be allowed to rewrite this article. It is not promotional in intent. It's just a training and certification page which has substantial presence in Google. There are several other pages on wikipedia that have similar contents to the one that has been deleted. Check this page to verify a complete list Professional_certification_(computer_technology)

Please note the Cyberoam Security certifications page is no different from Juniper_Networks_Technical_Certification_Program, Zend_Certified_Engineer and other certification pages. They all revolve around certification courses that are fairly popular on Google. None of them are as famous as the one that has been deleted. I want a way to rewrite the deleted article again if there is a concern of unnecessary promotion. It can be trimmed down. --

If you're not the right person to address this, please let me know whom to approach in order to restore the article.--Tech editor007 (talk) 13:26, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BOKU mobile payments page - request for deletion?

Hi There,

I'm a relatively new Wikipedian, and I wanted to try and get more engaged. I submitted an article today on BOKU mobile payments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOKU_mobile_payments). One of the editors, @Drdisque submitted the article for deletion. Another editor, @Quarl, declined that request, but turned it over to the AFD. I wanted to ask for clarification on why it was requested for deletion, and what process occurs now.

I think the article keeps a generally neutral tone, is factual, and has multiple external sources from major reference websites including the NYT, WSJ, Business Week and more. Those external sources corroborate the facts in the article, and suggest to me that the topic is broadly interesting enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry. Would you mind clarifying any concerns about the page, and suggesting what I should do to make it better?

thank you, @Drs650 Drs650 (talk) 19:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article of the month – 2010 Carfax 400, a recent good article

The 2010 Carfax 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on August 15, 2010 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Contested over 200 laps, it was the twenty-third race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kevin Harvick for the Richard Childress Racing team. Denny Hamlin finished second, and Carl Edwards, who started twenty-fourth, clinched third.

Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner to begin the race, but Jimmie Johnson, who started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Greg Biffle became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 66 laps. Tony Stewart led after the final pit stops, ahead of Hamlin and Harvick. Harvick helped Hamlin to become the leader, but with twelve laps left, Harvick gained on Hamlin and claimed the first position with eleven lap remaining. Harvick maintained his position to claim his first Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway.

There were five cautions and nineteen lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race, Harvick's third win of the season. The result maintained the first position in the Drivers' Championship and clinched him a position in the Chase. He remained 293 points ahead of second place driver Jeff Gordon and 353 ahead of Denny Hamlin. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty points ahead of Toyota and sixty-one ahead of Ford, with thirteen races remaining in the season. A total of 105,000 people attended the race, while 4.917 million watched it on television.

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/J. G. Quintel

Sorry for the headaches caused by some anonymous IPs who fought a redirect... but they may not have been so wrong. In adddressing some of the nominator's concerns, we now have a decently sourced start class that shows Quintel winning 2 Nicktoons Network Animation Festival awards in 2005 and recieving an Annie Award nomination in 2010. The crappy stub that was nominated as this, has been expanded and sourced to become THIS... much better , and I do not mind saying so. Care to review?

1920 AAA Championship Car season

Hey i just saw you made some changes to the AAA contest board page, thank you for your help! I joined with no intention of actually writing any "real" articles, just to fill holes in the season reviews, but getting farther into the project I realized how little information there was about early championship racing as a whole and was moved to write the article. I am by no means an author or reporter, just a concerned contributor i guess... anyhow... I did a write up on the 1920 season and im not too confident about my writing. would you take a look at it and let me know what you think. I am going to be very active in completing the AAA portion of history so any help from you would be wonderful. seems like the ACCR group is pretty dead I haven't gotten very many responses on the talk page. I have also edited navboxes for cart/indycar/champcar, iics, and AAA here when should I use the full box containing all information for the series verse individual navboxes for the tracks, champions and years? thank you for any help you haveEhall317 (talk) 21:49, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article of the month – Alan Kulwicki, selected as a good article

Alan Dennis Kulwicki (December 14, 1954 – April 1, 1993), nicknamed "Special K" and the "Polish Prince", was an American NASCAR Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series) racecar driver. He started racing at local short tracks in Wisconsin before moving up to regional stock car touring series. Kulwicki arrived at NASCAR, the highest and most expensive level of stock car racing in the United States, with no sponsor, a limited budget, and only a racecar and a borrowed pickup truck. Despite starting with meager equipment and finances, he earned the 1986 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award over drivers racing for well-funded teams.

After Kulwicki won his first race at Phoenix International Raceway, he debuted what would become his trademark "Polish Victory Lap". Kulwicki won the 1992 Winston Cup championship by what was then the closest margin in NASCAR history. He died early in 1993 in a light aircraft accident, and was unable to defend his championship. He has been inducted into numerous racing halls of fame and was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers.

Kulwicki was known for being a perfectionist and doing things his own way. An engineer by trade, his scientific approach to NASCAR racing inspires the way teams are now run. Despite lucrative offers from top car owners, he insisted on driving for his own race team, AK Racing, during most of his NASCAR career. Described by his publicist as "a real hard type of person to get to know", he remained a bachelor throughout his life. (More...)

Article of the month – Auto Club Speedway, a recent good article

Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway) is a two-mile (3 km), low-banked, D-shaped oval superspeedway in Fontana, California which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1997. The track was also used for open wheel racing events until 2005. The racetrack is located near the former locations of Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The track is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation and is the only track owned by ISC to have naming rights sold. The speedway is served by the nearby Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 freeways as well as a Metrolink station located behind the backstretch.Construction of the track, on the site of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, began in 1995 and was completed in late 1996. The speedway has a grandstand capacity of 91,200 and 28 skyboxes. In 2006, a fanzone was added behind the main grandstand. Lights were added to the speedway in 2004 with the addition of a second annual NASCAR weekend. In 2011 the track will host only one NASCAR weekend.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program at MSU

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian associated with Michigan State University. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at MSU, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in the East Lansing area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:24, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of David Gunkel: David Gunkel

In regards to the article on David Gunkel, it's profoundly clear you a) didn't read the article, b) as an engineer, are unconcerned with the prominence of communications in order to do a simple notability search on Gunkel and his work. It's this percieved provinciality of self-deluded Wikipedians as to why I hate contributing at times. Thanks for making the process not only arduous, but unenjoyable, you self-important tool. oshaberi —Preceding undated comment added 06:09, 10 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Elwalid Succariyeh

I owe you an apology for giving the impression I thought you had acted in bad faith. That wasn't my intention, my criticism was directed at your hasty judgment that set in motion a process that's important and valuable when used appropriately but can also be disruptive and destructive.

Even if an article appears short of substance, if it's not obviously abusive or trivial the fact that someone went to the effort of creating it should suggest the possibility that the subject is of some significance. English is still a lingua franca and many people who use Wikipedia are not native English speakers. Non-English speakers are often aware of the notability of a subject not previously mentioned on Wikipedia but may not be able to create a lengthy or polished article.

We at the "Anglo-Saxon" end of the universe are often ignorant about the ways and practices of the non-English speaking world, not to mention what is or isn't important there and what might or might not be important to us too. We fall back on the assumption that our framework of understanding is the same as other people's. We are often unaware of significant differences in the conventions that affect the way information is organised elsewhere. For example the French custom of often putting the surname first, followed by the forename, or the difference in the way Spaniards and Portuguese order their maternal and paternal surname. Which is just a starter, without considering the non-Roman/transcribed world. We need to be aware that we may be looking at the world through a narrowly focused prism.

Equally English-language contributors may consider a stub better than no article at all. Stubs and "less than complete" articles serve two functions - they offer a starting point for further investigation and - certainly in my case - they often serve to stimulate efforts to make an article we come across more comprehensive and useful. Unfortunately I've got too much else to concern me at the moment inside and outside Wikipedia to be able to follow up the Elwalid Succariyeh article but like others it will hover at the back of my consciousness until one day with a bit of free time hopefully I'll manage to incorporate some of the Walid Succariyeh information.

In addition removing a stub may have consequences elsewhere. If you are trying to put together an article that involves elements that are important in their own right but shouldn't have too much time devoted to them in the article you're working on, creating a stub allows relevant information to be located elsewhere for consultation via a link while also creating the starting-point for an independent article. Without the stub the original article would be cluttered up with tangential, essentially redundant, information. Removing the stub destroys the structure of decentralised but interlocking sources of information.

That's the technical side of the issue. The reason for my impatience was the way more than a few people I have encountered on Wikipedia almost take a joy in removing articles that offer a slightly opened window onto a world they prefer not to look at unless it is packaged in a homogeneous and recognisable form, and without being bothered by the impact of their actions on other Wikipedia contributors and users.

You explained what you had done reasonably and sensibly, and you didn't resort to the use of Wikipedia guidelines as a weapon of destruction rather than a useful tool to combat abuse and trivialisation. The intensity of my criticism was due to my previous experience of aggressive AfDers who seem determined to impose respect for their version of a rule-book rather than help and encourage the making of knowledge available in a useful form, and as a result often deter others from contributing.

I'm robust enough not to be intimidated, unlike some less inexperienced contributors. My experience of misuse of the dictum that we should assume good faith at Wikipedia has, sadly, left me reluctant to acknowledge its universal appropriateness. Aggression and vandalism may be the product of good faith rooted in certainty and disrespect for others. I don't get involved with AfDs simply for the sake of an argument. To me Wikipedia is intended to be a constructive, cooperative endeavour. Too often it's been clear to me that a central element of the AfD process has been disrespect for the efforts and approach of others. Hence the lack of patience that led me to be more forceful than I might otherwise have been.

In this instance I'd also come fresh from having spent a lot of effort last week responding to the appeal to help clean up the backlog of BLPs only to find the next morning that the article I'd worked on - another "foreign" candidate for deletion - had been dumped without even the courtesy of informed by the deleter why all the effort involved was considered useless. It's back now, but this happens too often. It makes me angry to see how other contributors give up. Too many constructive people end up walking away from Wikipedia.

So, I'm sorry if I was more aggressive in the way I put my criticism than I perhaps should have been and I appreciated your civil response. Opbeith (talk) 11:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article of the month – 2010 Sylvania 300, a recent Good Article

The 2010 Sylvania 300 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 19, 2010, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. The 300 lap race was the twenty-seventh in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the first race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. Clint Bowyer, of the Richard Childress Racing team, won the race, with Denny Hamlin finishing second, and Jamie McMurray third.

Pole position driver Brad Keselowski maintained his lead in the first lap, but in the second lap Tony Stewart pulled ahead. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, and Hamlin were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Hamlin was the only one to recover and finish in the top five. With two laps remaining, Tony Stewart was leading the race when he ran out of fuel, giving the lead to Bowyer, who also led the most laps in the race with 176. There were eight cautions and twenty-three lead changes among eight different drivers during the race.

The race was Clint Bowyer's first win in the 2010 season, and the third of his career. The result advanced Bowyer to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Hamlin and ten ahead of Kevin Harvick, but because of a penalty three days after the race, he fell to twelfth in the standings. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-two points ahead of Toyota and seventy-four ahead of Ford, with nine races remaining in the season. A total of 95,000 people attended the race, while 3.68 million watched it on television. (More...)

Article of the month – 2010 Ford 400

The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third.

Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Edwards, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the fourth lap, Edwards became the leader of the race. Hamlin, the points leader, before the race, spun sideways early in the race, resulting with damage to his splitter. Afterward on lap 73, Martin Truex, Jr. became the leader, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, after leading 192 laps.

There were ten cautions and 25 lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Edwards' second win in the 2010 season, with the other being only one week earlier during the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner, Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship, and Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota. A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television. (More...)

Article of the month – 2011 Budweiser Shootout, a new Good article

The 2011 Budweiser Shootout was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on February 12, 2011 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Contested over 75 laps, it was the first exhibition race of the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kurt Busch for the Penske Racing team. Jamie McMurray finished second, and Ryan Newman clinched third. Pole position driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. maintained his lead through the first corner, but Clint Bowyer, who started seventh on the grid, led the first lap. On the 25th lap, the first caution was given, as Jeff Burton became the leader. During the caution all the teams made a pit stop . Two laps later, an accident involving several racecars prompted the second caution to be given. On lap 63, Newman became the leader. He maintained the lead until the final lap, when Denny Hamlin passed him below the yellow line (out of bounds line), as Busch passed him on the other side. Hamlin passed Newman below the yellow line giving the win to Kurt Busch. There were four cautions and 28 lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Busch's first win in the 2011 season, as well as his first win at a track that uses restrictor plates, such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. A total of 80,000 people attended the race, while 7.8 million watched it on television. (More...)

Article of the month – 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, a good article.

The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill-handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season. (More...)

John Brooks Page Questions

Hi there, first of all, thank you for creating more complete page for John Brooks. I just had a couple of 'newbie' questions to ask to get better here on WP- Why was he removed from the category champ car drivers? Do drivers who attempt to qualify for a race not make that list? Second one- Should the WikiProject AOWR be added to every page that involves AOWR, or where would I find the standards for that? Thanks again for your contribution to Wikipedia!

On lap 197 the fifteenth caution was flagged causing a green-white-checker finish. David Ragan was leading at the time but was black flagged for moving into the lower lane before the finish line. Immediately after the restart, a sixteenth caution was given. Bayne took the lead on the lap 206 restart and maintained it to win his first NASCAR race and Wood Brothers' fifth Daytona 500.

There were 16 cautions and 74 lead changes among 22 different drivers throughout. Following the race, Edwards led the Drivers' Championship with 42 points, one ahead of Gilliland and Bobby Labonte.

Star Mazda Championship

I have been watching the three pages that I PRODed before. I see how much effort you put into these but it still does not convince me that they belong in WP in their current form. I have asked some editors to look at this and share their thoughts, which you can find right here. Pls. have a look there and share your thoughts about the pre-2010 years of this championship. Would you object to merge them into a "pre-2010 Star Mazda Championship" article? Also, how about adding more prose like Noleander suggests? I'm sure there's much more to tell and it would lift the articles above the "just some old sports results" status. Thanks, --DeVerm (talk) 22:34, 30 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Article of the month – Tim Richmond, a good article

Tim Richmond (June 7, 1955 - August 13, 1989) was an American race car driver from Ashland, Ohio. He competed in IndyCar racing before transferring to NASCAR's Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series). Richmond was the first driver to change from open wheel racing to NASCAR stock cars, which has since become an industry trend. He won the 1980 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award and had 13 victories during eight NASCAR seasons. Richmond achieved his top NASCAR season in 1986 when he finished third in points. He won seven races that season, more than any other driver on the tour. When he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 in February 1987, media reported that he had pneumonia. The infection most likely resulted from his compromised immune system, which had been weakened by AIDS. The disease would drastically shorten his life. Despite the state of his health, Richmond competed in eight races in 1987, winning two events and one pole position before his final race in August of that year. He attempted a comeback in 1988 before NASCAR banned him for testing positive for a banned substance. Richmond grew up in a wealthy family and lived a debauched lifestyle, earning him the nickname "Hollywood". In describing Richmond's influence in the sport of racing, Lowe's Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said: "We've never had a race driver like Tim in stock car racing. He was almost a James Dean-like character." When Richmond was cast for a bit part in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace, "He fell right in with the group working on the film," said director Hal Needham. Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick. (More...)

Article of the month – 2010 AAA 400, a good article

The 2010 AAA 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 26, 2010 at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware. The 400 lap race was the twenty-eighth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the second race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, of the Hendrick Motorsports team. Jeff Burton finished second, and Joey Logano, who started nineteenth, clinched third.

Pole position driver Jimmie Johnson maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as A. J. Allmendinger, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. Fourteen laps later Allmendinger became the leader of the race. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Clint Bowyer, and Tony Stewart were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Afterward, Johnson became the leader of the race, once Allmendinger pitted because of a loose wheel. Johnson maintained the first position to lead the most laps of 191, and to win his sixth race of the season.

There were four cautions and eighteen lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Jimmie Johnson's sixth win in the 2010 season, and the fifty-third of his career. The result moved Johnson up to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Denny Hamlin and ten ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-five ahead of Toyota and eighty ahead of Ford, with eight races remaining in the season. A total of 88,000 people attended the race, while 3.966 million watched it on television.

Article of the month – Darlington Record Club

The Unocal-Darlington Record Club was a club in the NASCAR Grand National and Winston Cup Series from 1959 to about 2001, based at Darlington Raceway. Membership was achieved based on setting qualifying records during time trials for the annual Southern 500 held on Labor Day weekend. During its heyday, it was considered one of the most prestigious and exclusive clubs in motorsports.The club was sponsored by longtime NASCAR sponsor Unocal/Union 76. Previously it was sponsored by Pure Oil. At some time after the 2001 season, the club was quietly retired. The club ended permanently when Unocal left the sport in 2003, and the Southern 500 was removed from the schedule after 2004.The original eight charter members were selected in 1959: Dick Joslin (Dodge), Marvin Panch (Ford), Joe Caspolich (Oldsmobile), Bob Burdick (Thuderbird), Speedy Thompson (Chevrolet), Richard Petty (Plymouth), Elmo Langley (Buick), and Fireball Roberts (Pontiac). Roberts was selected as the first president; Former Darlington Raceway president Bob Colvin contributed in creating the club. (More...)

A tool for you!

Hi Drdisque! I've just come across one of your edits (or that you have been patrolling new pages), and noticed that you might appreciate some help with references.

I case you're not aware, you might consider using this tool – it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script:

// Add [[WP:Reflinks]] launcher in the toolbox on left
addOnloadHook(function () {
 addPortletLink(
  "p-tb",     // toolbox portlet
  "http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py/" + wgPageName 
   + "?client=script&citeweb=on&overwrite=&limit=30&lang=" + wgContentLanguage,
  "Reflinks"  // link label
)});

onto Special:MyPage/skin.js, then paste the bare URL between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for PDF documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. You may consider taking on Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup. So long! --Sp33dyphil © • © 09:33, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vilza Fenz

I noticed you changed the notability tag I put on Vilza Fenz. I put that there because there is no record I can find that this person wrestled for WWE--or for anything else for that matter. If you have any information otherwise, please let me know. If I can't find anything, I will nominate this for speedy deletion as a hoax. Michitaro (talk) 03:19, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response. I had noticed in the history of some related articles that Vilza Fenz was sometimes piped to Sumie Suzuki, but those were then eliminated and this new article created. The two have different birthdays and records, though a few things overlap (though do note that the Suzuki article has been significantly rewritten over the last week by the same user who created Vilza Fenz and by a couple IPs). What is your evidence they are one and the same person? Should we call for an AfD of Vilza Fenz? Michitaro (talk) 03:54, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article of the month – Phoenix International Raceway - B-class article

Phoenix International Raceway, also known as PIR, is a one-mile, low-banked tri-oval race track located in Avondale, Arizona. The track opened in 1964 and currently hosts two NASCAR race weekends annually. PIR has also hosted the Indycar Series, CART, USAC and the Rolex Sports Car Series. The raceway is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation.

The raceway was originally constructed with a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) road course that ran both inside and outside of the main tri-oval. In 1991 the track was reconfigured with the current 1.51 miles (2.43 km) interior layout. PIR has an estimated grandstand seating capacity of around 67,000. Lights were installed around the track in 2004 following the addition of a second annual NASCAR race weekend.

Phoenix International Raceway is home to two annual NASCAR race weekends, one of 13 facilities on the NASCAR schedule to host more than one race weekend a year. The track is both the first and last stop on the West Coast, as well as the second and second-to-last track on the schedule. (Read more...)

Re: Removing Red Links

Hello! I think that you do not understand, that majority of Star Mazda Championship teams and drivers not match WP:Notability criteria (e.g. race winners (!) Alex Ardoin, Caio Lara). So they will never receive an article. Therefore per WP:RED: Do not create red links to articles that will likely never be created. Lack of links to articles that are not likely to created has almost no effect on the growth of Wikipedia. P.S. Maybe it will be better to discuss here?

Article of the month – 2010 Auto Club 500, a Good Article

The 2010 Auto Club 500 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on February 21, 2010 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. Contested over 250 laps, it was the second race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Kevin Harvick finished second, and Jeff Burton, who started fourteenth, clinched third. Pole position driver Jamie McMurray maintained his lead into the first corner, but Juan Pablo Montoya, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Johnson became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 101 laps. During the final pit stops, Johnson was on pit lane as the caution flag came out. Burton, who led the race during Johnson's pit stop, did not pass Johnson to put him a lap down. Therefore, Johnson retained the first position upon the completion of his pit stop. On the final lap, Harvick was gaining on Johnson, but Johnson maintained his position to win his first race of the season. There were six caution flags and twenty-eight lead changes among fourteen different drivers throughout the course of the race. The result moved Johnson up twenty-three spots to tenth in the Drivers' Championship, 78 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, eight points points ahead of Toyota and nine ahead of Ford, with thirty-four races remaining in the season. (Read more...)

Article of the month – 2010 Carfax 400, a Good Article

The 2010 Carfax 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on August 15, 2010 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Contested over 200 laps, it was the twenty-third race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kevin Harvick for the Richard Childress Racing team. Denny Hamlin finished second, and Carl Edwards, who started twenty-fourth, clinched third.

Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner to begin the race, but Jimmie Johnson, who started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Greg Biffle became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 66 laps. Tony Stewart led after the final pit stops, ahead of Hamlin and Harvick. Harvick helped Hamlin to become the leader, but with twelve laps left, Harvick gained on Hamlin and claimed the first position with eleven lap remaining. Harvick maintained his position to claim his first Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway.

There were five cautions and nineteen lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race, Harvick's third win of the season. The result maintained the first position in the Drivers' Championship and clinched him a position in the Chase. He remained 293 points ahead of second place driver Jeff Gordon and 353 ahead of Denny Hamlin. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty points ahead of Toyota and sixty-one ahead of Ford, with thirteen races remaining in the season. A total of 105,000 people attended the race, while 4.917 million watched it on television. (Read more...)

Article of the month – 2010 Sylvania 300

The 2010 Sylvania 300 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 19, 2010, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. The 300 lap race was the twenty-seventh in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the first race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. Clint Bowyer, of the Richard Childress Racing team, won the race, with Denny Hamlin finishing second, and Jamie McMurray third.

Pole position driver Brad Keselowski maintained his lead in the first lap, but in the second lap Tony Stewart pulled ahead. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, and Hamlin were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Hamlin was the only one to recover and finish in the top five. With two laps remaining, Tony Stewart was leading the race when he ran out of fuel, giving the lead to Bowyer, who also led the most laps in the race with 176. There were eight cautions and twenty-three lead changes among eight different drivers during the race.

The race was Clint Bowyer's first win in the 2010 season, and the third of his career. The result advanced Bowyer to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Hamlin and ten ahead of Kevin Harvick, but because of a penalty three days after the race, he fell to twelfth in the standings. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-two points ahead of Toyota and seventy-four ahead of Ford, with nine races remaining in the season. A total of 95,000 people attended the race, while 3.68 million watched it on television. (Read more...)

Article of the month – Tim Richmond - a Good Article

Tim Richmond (June 7, 1955 – August 13, 1989) was an American race car driver from Ashland, Ohio. He competed in IndyCar racing before transferring to NASCAR's Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series). Richmond was one of the first drivers to change from open wheel racing to NASCAR stock cars full-time, which has since become an industry trend. He won the 1980 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award and had 13 victories during eight NASCAR seasons.

Richmond achieved his top NASCAR season in 1986 when he finished third in points. He won seven races that season, more than any other driver on the tour. When he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 in February 1987, media reported that he had pneumonia. The infection most likely resulted from his compromised immune system, which was weakened by AIDS. The disease drastically shortened his life. Despite the state of his health, Richmond competed in eight races in 1987, winning two events and one pole position before his final race in August of that year. He attempted a comeback in 1988 before NASCAR banned him for testing positive for a banned substance; after NASCAR insisted on access to his entire medical record before reinstating him, Richmond withdrew from racing. NASCAR later stated their original test was inaccurate.

Richmond grew up in a wealthy family and lived a freewheeling lifestyle, earning him the nickname "Hollywood". In describing Richmond's influence in racing, Charlotte Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said: "We've never had a race driver like Tim in stock car racing. He was almost a James Dean-like character." When Richmond was cast for a bit part in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace, "He fell right in with the group working on the film," said director Hal Needham. Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick. (Read more...)

Article of the month – 2010 Ford 400, a Good Article

The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third.

Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap of the race. Edwards started in the second position on the grid, and became the leader of the race on the fourth lap. Shortly after a restart on lap 22, championship leader Denny Hamlin spun sideways, resulting with damage to his splitter. Martin Truex, Jr. took the lead on lap 73, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, having led it for 192 laps.

A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television. There were ten cautions in the race, as well as twenty-five lead changes among nine different drivers. Edwards' victory was his second win in the 2010 season, with the first coming the previous week at the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship. Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota. (Read more...)

December 2012

I'm a novice at editing on Wiki, but I object to the proposed deletion of Anthony Mayman bio. The idea that only professional drivers or series should be noted is misguided. The majority of drivers in historic racing are amateurs, and there are very few recognized series so far for this category. However, their popularity with the public is greater than many "professional" series with the exception of Nascar and F1. Goodwood Revival, Monterey Historics, Nurburgring "Old Timer", Silverstone Classic etc all draw huge crowds. Mayman was one of the most notable drivers of the early historic period. The article is not mine, but the statement that it is not cross referenced is also incorrect. I am a Brit who lived in the US all my life, but stay in touch with historic racing around the world. Perhaps your editorial leanings are a little US-centric even though you have clearly traveled a lot? Jmh10 (talk) 23:50, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article of the month – Daytona International Speedway

Daytona International Speedway is a race track in Daytona Beach, Florida, United States. Since opening in 1959, it has been the home of the Daytona 500, the most prestigious race in NASCAR. In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosts races of ARCA, AMA Superbike, Grand-Am and Motocross. The track features multiple layouts including the primary 2.5 miles (4.0 km) high speed tri-oval, a 3.56 miles (5.73 km) sports car course, a 2.95 miles (4.75 km) motorcycle course, and a .25 miles (0.40 km) karting and motorcycle flat-track. The track's 180-acre (73 ha) infield includes the 29-acre (12 ha) Lake Lloyd, which has hosted powerboat racing. The speedway is owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation. The track was built in 1958 by NASCAR founder William France Sr. to host racing that was being held at the former Daytona Beach Road Course. His banked design permitted higher speeds and gave fans a better view of the cars. Lights were installed around the track in 1998, and today it is the third largest single lit outdoor sports facility. The speedway has been renovated three times, with the infield renovated in 2004, and the track repaved in 1978 and 2010. (Read more...)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Article of the month – Auto Club Speedway, a Good Article

Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway) is a two-mile (3 km), low-banked, D-shaped oval superspeedway in Fontana, California which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1997. The track was also used for open wheel racing events until 2005. The racetrack is located near the former locations of Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The track is owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation and is the only track owned by ISC to have naming rights sold. The speedway is served by the nearby Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 freeways as well as a Metrolink station located behind the backstretch.

Construction of the track, on the site of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, began in 1995 and was completed in late 1996. The speedway has a grandstand capacity of 91,200 and 28 skyboxes. In 2006, a fanzone was added behind the main grandstand. Lights were added to the speedway in 2004 with the addition of a second annual NASCAR weekend. In 2011 and 2012 the track hosted only one NASCAR weekend. The IZOD Indycar Series returned to the track in 2012 with the season finale race (a 500 mile night race); it ran a 400 mile race from 2002–05 at the track. (Read more...)
