[edit] Glenn Dunnaway

Lots of text, a few incidental refs, but is this minor racing driver actually notable? The one reference even says "Only a few drivers in that first race left a recognizable footprint on NASCAR. They included the Flock brothers, Byron, Lee Petty, Curtis Turner, Buck Baker, Jack Smith, Jim Paschal and Herb Thomas". But not Dunnaway. I would've expected more than 171 unique Ghits [1]EliminatorJR Talk 00:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. I'm not even a NASCAR fan, but I can't imagine denying the notability of whoever won the first ever NBA game or NFL game or Major League Baseball game OR NHL game, and especially not if there were the additional angle of their win being disqualified for cheating. That's basically who this guy is in his sport's history. That's gotta be notable. Mwelch 00:55, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Auto-racing is a sport, NASCAR is a professional league within it. He competed in it. Meets the criteria. FrozenPurpleCube 01:55, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
