Fails WP:NN. Non-notable NASCAR driver. Kevinwong913 Speak out loud! 18:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, two-time winner of a well-known road race (in addition to NASCAR, where he's a team owner, former or not). I don't know how well he stacks up in NASCAR terms but this appears obviously notable on its face. --Dhartung | Talk 18:28, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep per above. Very notable as a winner and ex-team owner. I would think that since all professional sports players are notable, that by extension all NASCAR drivers are too. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 18:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep per above. Meets all notability standards. --D-Day 20:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep per above. Oysterguitarist 21:41, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable "athlete" and businessman. Article should be expanded to have a little longer biography, though, if anybody knows anything about him. Useight 21:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. I can't even fathom how the nom would believe this individual is not notable, even if the source did not exist until after the nomination. Resolute 22:48, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand if possible - the Baja wins are definitely notable, and his work with NASCAR expands on that. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 23:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep he helped founded the Craftsman Truck SEries and former Nascar team owner. That passes notability.--JForget 00:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Based on [1] it is possible that the nominator wants to withdraw the nomination, and it looks like WP:SNOW anyway. The nominator has not made edits since my reply at Wikipedia:Help desk#Withdrawal of AfD?. PrimeHunter 00:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
