[edit] NEXTEL Open?

Do you guys think that the NEXTEL Open is enough of its own entity to warrant a seperate article? I'm kind of on the fence and would like to know what other people think. Recury 13:20, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

  • I don't think so myself. I think that it can be propertly entertwined into this article. Over at the Budweiser Shootout page, I was able to easily merge the Bud Shootout Qualifier information. Doctorindy 16:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, on second thought, maybe we should do it, I'm finding a lot of info that could really bulk it up. I'll get back to that decision after I do a little more research. Doctorindy 16:04, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No Bull Sprint

This is written: In 2000, after The Winston Open, a 16-lap "No Bull Sprint" was added to after The Winston Open. The winner of this race would also advance to The Winston.

I don't think that is entirely accurate, at least partially. The No Bull Sprint was used in at 1998 as a 25-lap qualifying race for the Winston Open. They used to have normal one-lap qualifying for the Winston Open, but that I guess got boring, so they had twin 25-lap race on Friday night. In 1998, winners were Jeremy Mayfield and Jimmy Spencer. More research is needed, and is on-going. Doctorindy 16:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
