[edit] Table format is a valuable addition for Schedule
I've commented on the improvement that I believe is afforded by the inclusion of the season race schedule in a table form (Table Schedule is a valuable addition). A table was the format used as the 2007 in NASCAR page evolved coming into this 2007 season, but was removed by BrotherFlounder on February 11th. BF did this (as BF noted in his edit comment) based to some degree on the format that had been used in the 2006 in NASCAR article. So, in addition to my comment regarding the 2007 article, specifically, I'd like to suggest this table format be considered as a standard presentation for the annual NASCAR pages. As it stands, the paragraph-and-text format seems to be an emerging defacto standard simply because that was the way it has been done until now. I don't believe it is the best presentation, and was perhaps simply established the way it since the text-only format is just plain simpler and easier than the table. I think the table should be used instead of the text layout. While I'd go with the table only I wouldn't argue for that format if others objected. But I certainly do think the table should (at least) be there also. - Thaimoss 21:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox
Was there ever any discussion for moving to a new racetrack infobox? I see someone is trying to unify all types of racing under the same box. This may not be advisable as the international box fits international races better with mileage in km etc... JohnnyBGood t c VIVA! 22:47, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Race Article Titles and Sponsors
For example, should O'Reilly 200 presented by Valvoline Maxlife be retitled O'Reilly 200, and refer to the full title in the article body alone as per the common name scheme? MSJapan (talk) 04:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
