[edit] Notability?
Unless someone can stake their claim, I am hereby removing Larry Foyt from the lists at List of NASCAR drivers and from Wikipedia:WikiProject_NASCAR/To-do#Article_requests His only claims to fame seems to be that he led total of 7 laps, over 4 years in Busch/Winston/Nextel series, no top 10 finishes, hasn't raced since April 4, 2004.

[edit] Stanton Barrett
I just want to know if anyone thinks the Stanton Barrett article should still be a stub. I added lots of info to it this morning, but I think there should be more about his stunt career. Please let me know. --D-Day 12:44, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] SOURCE: Stock Car Racing Magazine
From the mid-Sixties until a new owner bought SCR and Dick Berggren and his people left, this was the best source of documented contemporary accounts and history articles. Unfortunately, the current SCR website has no index of articles from the pre-Internet era. My father's copies were auctioned off after he died, so I can't access those handily. If someone can find these hardcopies, I know there were feature-length articles on Hoss Ellington, Charlie Glotzbach, Ray Hendrick, Tommy Houston, Rick Mast, Bud Moore, DiGard Motorsports, probably other requested-article drivers and teams, and many drivers on the Stubs Needing Expansion list. Please? Thanks! Barno 00:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Many Drivers Added
I added many more drivers, and probably every driver that is prominent throughout NASCAR's history without a page on Wikipedia. These drivers either have won a race in Nextel Cup, ran over 100 races, or have finished in the top ten in points in a certain season. I find these to be the three only major defining points for a driver, and only reason to include a driver on Wikipedia (for the drivers from 1949-1990). All modern drivers already have pages, even if they have 30 starts to 500, which is fine; but for historical purposes I believe drivers should have to have one of the three things (100 or more starts, a win, or top ten points finish) to get a page. A driver of course could have something unique (like being first women, or first African American). I just wanted to let you know why I added all these drivers. I intend to add no more (unless I've missed some, which is a possibility); but most of these drivers have accomplishments, but no pages. I did the same for the Busch and CTS series, although there are far fewer drivers. Casey14 04:03, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Giant list of driver articles "to be expanded"
Do you guys mind if I replace that huge 3 column list with just a link to Category:NASCAR people stubs? Or maybe we could just start over but only list articles that really need expanding (like if someone is very notable but their article is very short)? I think it is just too big to be useful.
