Is AJ's the longest-duration career in pro racing? I don't know anybody else who stayed in as long. And was he the oldest driver ever in Champ car? I recall he was. (If so, mention both!) Trekphiler 15:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
how in the world did the sucker-punch incident "shape the history of the Indy Racing League"?? Kingturtle 10:43, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
The incident made national headlines and newscasts in the U.S., and helped make IRL MUCH more well known. People were talking about it for quite a while. I agree with the statement. Royalbroil 22:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
I added the article to the stub list. I know there's a fair bit here, but this isn't much for the "co-Driver of the Century". Royalbroil 22:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
His National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame biography [1] has signficantly different USAC total statistics:
"His USAC record shows four Indianapolis 500 Mile Race victories, 20 midget feature wins as well as 28 sprint, 65 champ car and 42 stock car victories."
That's 159 victories by my count, not even including his USAC stockcar wins! Does anyone have any citations to fix this mess? Royalbroil T : C 19:26, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
I've reverted the section title "FIA Formula 1 World Championship career summary" to just "FIA World Championship career summary" based on the following rationale:

His own words, in the 1991 documentary about him that was broadcast as part of the ABC Sports pre-race telecast of that year's Indianapolis 500, when he came back from the horrendous Road America crash to qualify for the 34th straight time out of his eventual 35. This is a major reason why many refuse to refer to his grandson as "A.J. IV," and instead call him Anthony...and/or don't like Allmendinger going by those initials, either. I.e., there is only one A.J. in motorsports history. -- Chr.K. ( talk) 10:43, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
