[edit] sprint cup
this will soon become sprint cup, right? Jerrycobra 03:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I think it might be nice to include some information about the car/team in the results. For example, maybe we could have the make of the car, team owner, major sponsor, number, etc. This would be a table of data. Is that useful at all? --Timc 20:21, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Not only would that be of use, I agree, and will be editing as I have time. -slowpokeiv 15:05, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I added sponsers. It had a cuple formating errors in it. --MicroFeet 22:32, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NEXTEL CUP
I looked for a discussion on this but haven't found one. Is there a reason that everything that happened in NASCAR prior to 2004 is described as being NEXTEL Cup? It seems factually incorrect to say, for example, that Richard Petty won 7 NEXTEL Cup championships. aww 16:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Nextel Cup is just a name. You could say the races run while the series was called "Grand National" qualify as Nextel Cup races. Mustang6172 05:42, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I disagree with that for one thing it is different system to decide the champions and it is also revisioning the history of the sport it should be what ever it was called when he won his last championship 209.89.13.48 03:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- I disagree as well, I believe that you should refer to an event with the name that was accurate at the time. If a driver was a Grand National Champion or Winston Cup, then say so. That driver may have never raced after the series was rename so how would calling them a NEXTEL Cup Champion be remotely accurate? If you are using the name to apply to the series as a whole and not refering to a specific event that fell into a certain era, it is ok to use the current name. Aedyn 15:16, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unknown Oldsmobile Grand National Era
Could it've been the Rocket 88? 67.188.172.165 22:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other Fifties Cars
What about Cadillac, Ford, and Chevy? 67.188.172.165 22:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Possibilities:
CHEVY
Bel-Air Impala
FORD
Thunderbird (could've also used it in '62)
Fairlane
CADILLAC
El Dorado
[edit] Removed decorative logos
I removed two logos on the list of racetracks and simply decorative and not encyclopedic. We're not trying to recreate the nextel cup homepage here. The rest of the article is very very nice, and reads very well. Many wikipedia articles can become disjointed with excessive editing, but this is nice and clear.
[edit] racing-reference.info
I used racing-reference.info to add some of the fifties models. 67.188.172.165 21:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unleaded fuel
Ive changed the info to show that NASCAR will use unleaded fuel in 2007, this can be checked at http://www.jayski.com/teams/fuel-sponsor.htm Is Jayski.com an acceptable link to add?DUBJAY04 22:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Jayski has been shown to be a reliable source of information. I'd probably just get rid of the "leaded" section after Daytona. The specification section should stay current.Mustang6172 03:11, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
