With the first of what I hope will be monthly newsletters I again want to welcome you to the project and hope that as we all work together through the year we can expand the project, create missing articles and generally improve the pedia thought mutual cooperation and support. Now that we have a project and a solid pool of willing members I wanted to strike while the iron is hot and solicite help in doing a few things that I believe is a good next step in solidifiing the project. I have outlined a few suggestions where you can help with on the projects talk page. This includes but is not limited too updating Portal:United States, assessing the remaining US related articles that haven't been assessed, eliminating the Unrefernced BLP's and others. If you have other suggestions or are interested in doing other things feel free. I just wanted to offer a few suggestions were additional help is needed. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments or suggestions or you can always post something on the projects talk page.

2010 Ford 400
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Edwards, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the fourth lap, Edwards became the leader of the race. Hamlin, the points leader, before the race, spun sideways early in the race, resulting with damage to his splitter. Afterward on lap 73, Martin Truex, Jr. became the leader, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, after leading 192 laps. There were ten cautions and 25 lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Edwards' second win in the 2010 season, with the other being only one week earlier during the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner, Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship, and Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota. A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television.

FYI for the NASCAR newsletter. I uploaded a bunch of NASCAR images from my flickr friend tonight. I think they were all from 1984. You can check my contributions. They should all be in the Commons category. Also, D-Day said that he has retired from Wikipedia, so I'd stop sending the newsletter to him. Royal broil 06:26, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Basically, after a visit to 2011 Daytona 500 I saw it as being not up to encyclopedia writing standard. (I wasn't aware who the contributors were, so it is nothing personal). For instance, the intro said "The 53rd Daytona 500 will be a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that will be..... " "Will be" twice in 13 words. Horrible. So I changed it, and you reverted (and at the same time reverted two other valid edits I had made).
In an edit summary you said "its not curent (is) and its only like this until the race is completed........ The article is less than half completed". Irrelevant. Even stubs are expected to have some sort of proficiency about them. Works in progress too.
Anyway, I think you are effectively expressing WP:Ownership and I am not going to get into a rv war. So I inserted a cleanup tag in the hope of generating, well, cleanup of the article. You removed this, and I am advising you not to remove that tag again unless a genuine attempt is made to actually improve the writing of the article. I would do it myself, but will not risk putting a lot of effort into something which might be reverted by editor/s who may have a lower expectation for the standard of writing in Wikipedia. In the meantime, I am restoring the two edits I made to captions (fixing the verbosity) and I am replacing the cleanup tag. I am also rewriting the intro, starting with the article title which is the generally accepted Wiki style. Moriori ( talk) 02:19, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
You can do what you said, but once February 20, 2011 is over your edits will be wortheless. Just a heads up. I will leave it on there until I finish the article sometime next week. I hate the wording too, but I don't really care about it because that is not how the article will look once its completed. This article will be a good article by April.

Yes, but if your unfamilar with NASCAR, you might reword something in the wrong way, therefore removing the actual meaning. You might want to stick around for the article until Saturday when the final practice session is. The Race summary is normally good with other editors, while the post race might need a cleaning.

Why were the number of races for the Sprint Cup series removed from the table? Understandably alot of the teams are running the full season, but Brian Keselowski's running based on sponsorship, Mikey's not running anymore this year, Bayne, Bill Elliot, Casey Mears are doing half the schedule, and some are running less than 9 races. Also, why did you think that the sponsorship column should be removed? Gaeaman787 ( talk) 15:00, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Theres only one thing bad about the military, they only take pictures of Ryan Newman. Uh, I have contacted this user on Flickr to see if he will change the license for his media day image. He is a provesional photographer, and was at the race (shown in his pictures). Nascar 1996 03:47, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
The image is located here. Just if I could get him to change the license. By the way, how did I do on Trevor Bayne's article? Nascar 1996 03:49, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
I was upset to see that all of my images were deleted from his article, and you did it! I can see the one that you replaced in good faith, but why did you remove the image gallery? I try incorporate the historic images into the text instead of just abandoning them; I had uploaded images of his car from 2009 and 2010. Overall the article looks much better and the sources are pretty reliable. I suggest some more Wikilinks for context. I would check for link to USAR Hooters Cup (I know that one exists because I've work on it). I don't know if there's an article on the Allison Legacy Series but one should be made since so many NASCAR drivers have started in it. I think I took an image of an Allison car at Madison International Speedway which is somewhere on Commons. Driver development needs a link. Royal broil 04:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
I might be able to add more photos from Bristol next month. I may be able to attend the Nationwide Series race. I should be able to get great photos from that race, if I do attend. Nascar 1996 17:56, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

The 2010 Price Chopper 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on October 3, 2010 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The 300 lap race was the twenty-ninth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The race was also the third event in the ten round Chase for the Sprint Cup competititon , which would concluded the 2010 season. Greg Biffle, of the Roush Fenway Racing team, won the race, with Jimmie Johnson finishing second and Kevin Harvick third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Jeff Gordon, who started in the third position on the grid, remained behind him. Twenty-three laps later Jeff Gordon became the leader of the race. After the final pit stops, Paul Menard became the leader of the race, but with less than fifty laps remaining, Biffle passed him. He maintained the first position to lead a total of sixty laps, and to win his second race of the season. There were five cautions and twenty lead changes among twelve different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Greg Biffle's second win in the 2010 season, and the sixteenth of his career. The result moved Biffle up to eighth in the Drivers' Championship, eighty-five points behind Jimmie Johnson and sixteen ahead of Jeff Burton. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-seven ahead of Toyota and seventy-seven ahead of Ford, with seven races remaining in the season.

I'm not sure if there is an official guideline on it, but you don't have to reference EVERYTHING when it comes to results, particularly results tables and the like. Take the 2005 United States Grand Prix as an example. It is a featured article, yet is there is no ref anywhere on the page of the results of qualifying or the race, generally because it is assumed that the information is true. I don't know of any other season articles that physically have a reference linking to every single race result and the points standings in the tables; definitely not in F1, IndyCar, MotoGP, V8 Supercars, WTCC etc. etc. TheChrisD Rants• Edits 01:18, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

NASCAR1996, I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to have a template of the championship contenders for the NSCS championship only. Since IndyCar and Formula 1 have boxes where they list the contenders and teams for each season, I was thinking that there should be one for the Sprint Cup Series. I wouldn't do one for Nationwide or Trucks because teams and drivers change alot based on funding. Your thoughts? Gaeaman787 ( talk) 02:36, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

If you remove the information again from 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series you will be blocked from editing for disrupting Wikipedia. The official Nascar site clearly states "SPONSOR : Lowe's/Kobalt Tools" . Whatever OR you might have does not change that. If during the season the official Nascar site amends sponsor/s, then fine, at that time. In the meantime I am restoring the accurate information inserted by IP 71.173.81.98.

Great job with the photos considering the light and angle. I suggested a bunch on flickr for you to upload. I also suggest that you check the drivers in the race and compare what you have with what's in the driver's articles now. I'd add the best one that you have to articles with outdated car photos. I wouldn't remove an existing one except if you clearly improve on a previous photo (and it's the same car paint scheme). Royal broil 12:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

There's basically nothing there, just a blurb of information on his residences. Even though It'd be going against the wiki style of formatting, since Bayne's career is relatively young and we don't have that much biographical information on him, is it ok to rearrange the section so that it just jumps right to the career. I just feel this way because having two sentences in the "Early/Personal life" section doesn't feel sufficient to me. A driver's current residence should be the last thing on the page.

2011 Budweiser Shootout, a new
Good article
The 2011 Budweiser Shootout was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on February 12, 2011 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Contested over 75 laps, it was the first exhibition race of the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kurt Busch for the Penske Racing team. Jamie McMurray finished second, and Ryan Newman clinched third. Pole position driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. maintained his lead through the first corner, but Clint Bowyer, who started seventh on the grid, led the first lap. On the 25th lap, the first caution was given, as Jeff Burton became the leader. During the caution all the teams made a pit stop . Two laps later, an accident involving several racecars prompted the second caution to be given. On lap 63, Newman became the leader. He maintained the lead until the final lap, when Denny Hamlin passed him below the yellow line (out of bounds line), as Busch passed him on the other side. Hamlin passed Newman below the yellow line giving the win to Kurt Busch. There were four cautions and 28 lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Busch's first win in the 2011 season, as well as his first win at a track that uses restrictor plates, such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. A total of 80,000 people attended the race, while 7.8 million watched it on television.

I was wondering if you could help me with a certain decision. If you know, Vision Aviation Racing (VAR) has cut back to a part time schedule. Kimi Raikonnen is entered in the 15 truck, but that's being fielded by Kyle Busch in Charlotte. I'm not sure if putting Vision Aviation Racing/Kyle Busch Motorsports would be a good idea, since KBM (afaik) isn't in any kind of partnership to field VAR's equipment like Rick Ware is doing with Fleur-de-lis Motorsports. Note that the reason I put JJCR and CMR together was because it would get too complicated having them as separate teams, and putting them togethr would be easier to manage the infobox. Also, theres the factor that KBM is fielding the 15 only for Kimi, not for all of VAR's drivers. So, since you've been doing this for awhile, what is the best course of action?

2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500
The 2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on February 27, 2011 at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Contested over 312 laps, it was the second race of the 2011 season. The race was won by Jeff Gordon for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Kyle Busch finished second, and Jimmie Johnson clinched third. Pole position driver Carl Edwards maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Kurt Busch, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the 29th lap, the first caution was given because of debris. Forty-eight laps later, a multiple car accident occurred, which involved 13 drivers. Afterward, several lead changes, and four more cautions occurred. With nine laps remaining, Gordon passed Kyle Busch for the first position. Gordon maintained the lead to win his first race of the season, and his first in more than 60 races. There were eight cautions and 29 lead changes among 12 different drivers throughout the course of the race, Gordon's first win of the season. The result moved Gordon to the sixth position in the Drivers' Championship. He remained 15 points behind first place driver Kyle Busch and one ahead of Bobby Labonte in seventh. In the Manufacturers' Championship, Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet had twelve points, four points ahead of Dodge. A total of 75,000 people attended the race, while 10.36 million watched it on television.

If he ever becomes notable enough to get an article, then I have a bunch of images of him from two 2008 ASA races at the Milwaukee Mile. One has him shaking hands on stage. Unfortunately there's a fence in the way. He raced in the main ASA race as well as a support ASA race and I have nice photos of both cars. I see he's a developmental driver for Joe Gibbs Racing.

2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, a
good article.
The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill- handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season.

I sure picked the right race to attend, did I? All of those restarts and wondering who would crash out, who would spin out who... I left not knowing for sure that Reed Sorenson won. I thought that (somewhat) local driver Justin Allgaier had it won but he ran out of gas on the next turn after where I was sitting because he ran out of fuel after the race was all but officially done. I thought that Ron Fellows had it won and the fans all congratulated him. I guess Sorenson was ahead of him. I have great photographs of the entire field as well as the whole field for the Grand Am race in the morning. Unfortunately, almost all of the idiot drivers sat in the passenger seat in Corvettes so I could only photograph a few drivers and even those turned out poor. Too bad they didn't make them stand in the back of trucks like they've done every other time. Royal broil 03:49, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

2010 Ford 400
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Edwards, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the fourth lap, Edwards became the leader of the race. Hamlin, the points leader, before the race, spun sideways early in the race, resulting with damage to his splitter. Afterward on lap 73, Martin Truex, Jr. became the leader, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, after leading 192 laps. There were ten cautions and 25 lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Edwards' second win in the 2010 season, with the other being only one week earlier during the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner, Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship, and Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota.

Basically, after a visit to 2011 Daytona 500 I saw it as being not up to encyclopedia writing standard. (I wasn't aware who the contributors were, so it is nothing personal). For instance, the intro said "The 53rd Daytona 500 will be a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that will be..... " "Will be" twice in 13 words. Horrible. So I changed it, and you reverted (and at the same time reverted two other valid edits I had made).
In an edit summary you said "its not curent (is) and its only like this until the race is completed........ The article is less than half completed". Irrelevant. Even stubs are expected to have some sort of proficiency about them. Works in progress too.
Anyway, I think you are effectively expressing WP:Ownership and I am not going to get into a rv war. So I inserted a cleanup tag in the hope of generating, well, cleanup of the article. You removed this, and I am advising you not to remove that tag again unless a genuine attempt is made to actually improve the writing of the article. I would do it myself, but will not risk putting a lot of effort into something which might be reverted by editor/s who may have a lower expectation for the standard of writing in Wikipedia. In the meantime, I am restoring the two edits I made to captions (fixing the verbosity) and I am replacing the cleanup tag. I am also rewriting the intro, starting with the article title which is the generally accepted Wiki style. Moriori ( talk) 02:19, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
You can do what you said, but once February 20, 2011 is over your edits will be wortheless. Just a heads up. I will leave it on there until I finish the article sometime next week. I hate the wording too, but I don't really care about it because that is not how the article will look once its completed. This article will be a good article by April.

Yes, but if your unfamilar with NASCAR, you might reword something in the wrong way, therefore removing the actual meaning. You might want to stick around for the article until Saturday when the final practice session is. The Race summary is normally good with other editors, while the post race might need a cleaning.

Why were the number of races for the Sprint Cup series removed from the table? Understandably alot of the teams are running the full season, but Brian Keselowski's running based on sponsorship, Mikey's not running anymore this year, Bayne, Bill Elliot, Casey Mears are doing half the schedule, and some are running less than 9 races.

I was upset to see that all of my images were deleted from his article, and you did it! I can see the one that you replaced in good faith, but why did you remove the image gallery? I try incorporate the historic images into the text instead of just abandoning them; I had uploaded images of his car from 2009 and 2010. Overall the article looks much better and the sources are pretty reliable. I suggest some more Wikilinks for context. I would check for link to USAR Hooters Cup (I know that one exists because I've work on it). I don't know if there's an article on the Allison Legacy Series but one should be made since so many NASCAR drivers have started in it. I think I took an image of an Allison car at Madison International Speedway which is somewhere on Commons. Driver development needs a link. Royal broil 04:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

GA
The 2010 Price Chopper 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on October 3, 2010 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The 300 lap race was the twenty-ninth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The race was also the third event in the ten round Chase for the Sprint Cup competititon , which would concluded the 2010 season. Greg Biffle, of the Roush Fenway Racing team, won the race, with Jimmie Johnson finishing second and Kevin Harvick third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Jeff Gordon, who started in the third position on the grid, remained behind him. Twenty-three laps later Jeff Gordon became the leader of the race. After the final pit stops, Paul Menard became the leader of the race, but with less than fifty laps remaining, Biffle passed him.

I'm not sure if there is an official guideline on it, but you don't have to reference EVERYTHING when it comes to results, particularly results tables and the like. Take the 2005 United States Grand Prix as an example. It is a featured article, yet is there is no ref anywhere on the page of the results of qualifying or the race, generally because it is assumed that the information is true. I don't know of any other season articles that physically have a reference linking to every single race result and the points standings in the tables; definitely not in F1, IndyCar, MotoGP, V8 Supercars, WTCC etc. etc. TheChrisD Rants• Edits 01:18, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

NASCAR1996, I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to have a template of the championship contenders for the NSCS championship only. Since IndyCar and Formula 1 have boxes where they list the contenders and teams for each season, I was thinking that there should be one for the Sprint Cup Series. I wouldn't do one for Nationwide or Trucks because teams and drivers change alot based on funding. Your thoughts? Gaeaman787 ( talk) 02:36, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Came across this article on random article patrol, and was surprised by the quality - yet only the B-class rating. Have you considered nominating this article for good article status ? I see you're a little bit discouraged, and I'd be more than happy to help fix any problems the reviewer pointed out. Thanks, Acather96 ( talk) 08:20, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
If you remove the information again from 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series you will be blocked from editing for disrupting Wikipedia. The official Nascar site clearly states "SPONSOR : Lowe's/Kobalt Tools" . Whatever OR you might have does not change that. If during the season the official Nascar site amends sponsor/s, then fine, at that time. In the meantime I am restoring the accurate information inserted by IP 71.173.81.98.

2010 Ford 400, a new
Good Article
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap of the race. Edwards started in the second position on the grid, and became the leader of the race on the fourth lap. Shortly after a restart on lap 22, championship leader Denny Hamlin spun sideways, resulting with damage to his splitter. Martin Truex, Jr. took the lead on lap 73, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, having led it for 192 laps. A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television. There were ten cautions in the race, as well as twenty-five lead changes among nine different drivers. Edwards' victory was his second win in the 2010 season, with the first coming the previous week at the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship. Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota.

Great job with the photos considering the light and angle. I suggested a bunch on flickr for you to upload. I also suggest that you check the drivers in the race and compare what you have with what's in the driver's articles now. I'd add the best one that you have to articles with outdated car photos. I wouldn't remove an existing one except if you clearly improve on a previous photo (and it's the same car paint scheme). Royal broil 12:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

There's basically nothing there, just a blurb of information on his residences. Even though It'd be going against the wiki style of formatting, since Bayne's career is relatively young and we don't have that much biographical information on him, is it ok to rearrange the section so that it just jumps right to the career. I just feel this way because having two sentences in the "Early/Personal life" section doesn't feel sufficient to me. A driver's current residence should be the last thing on the page.

Hendrick just announced that Farmers Insurance would be sponsoring Mark Martin in the All-Star Race this year. He's going to drive the #25 Chevrolet in a throwback scheme to the Tim Richmond/ Harry Hyde days. Since the All Star is a non-points event, but Mark will be briefly changing numbers (so far, not sure if NASCAR would let them), so should this be included in the Sprint Cup limited schedule section or no?

2011 Budweiser Shootout, a new
Good article
The 2011 Budweiser Shootout was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on February 12, 2011 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Contested over 75 laps, it was the first exhibition race of the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kurt Busch for the Penske Racing team. Jamie McMurray finished second, and Ryan Newman clinched third. Pole position driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. maintained his lead through the first corner, but Clint Bowyer, who started seventh on the grid, led the first lap. On the 25th lap, the first caution was given, as Jeff Burton became the leader. During the caution all the teams made a pit stop . Two laps later, an accident involving several racecars prompted the second caution to be given. On lap 63, Newman became the leader. He maintained the lead until the final lap, when Denny Hamlin passed him below the yellow line (out of bounds line), as Busch passed him on the other side. Hamlin passed Newman below the yellow line giving the win to Kurt Busch. There were four cautions and 28 lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Busch's first win in the 2011 season, as well as his first win at a track that uses restrictor plates, such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. A total of 80,000 people attended the race, while 7.8 million watched it on television.

I was wondering if you could help me with a certain decision. If you know, Vision Aviation Racing (VAR) has cut back to a part time schedule. Kimi Raikonnen is entered in the 15 truck, but that's being fielded by Kyle Busch in Charlotte. I'm not sure if putting Vision Aviation Racing/Kyle Busch Motorsports would be a good idea, since KBM (afaik) isn't in any kind of partnership to field VAR's equipment like Rick Ware is doing with Fleur-de-lis Motorsports. Note that the reason I put JJCR and CMR together was because it would get too complicated having them as separate teams, and putting them togethr would be easier to manage the infobox. Also, theres the factor that KBM is fielding the 15 only for Kimi, not for all of VAR's drivers. So, since you've been doing this for awhile, what is the best course of action?

Contested over 312 laps, it was the second race of the 2011 season. The race was won by Jeff Gordon for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Kyle Busch finished second, and Jimmie Johnson clinched third. Pole position driver Carl Edwards maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Kurt Busch, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the 29th lap, the first caution was given because of debris. Forty-eight laps later, a multiple car accident occurred, which involved 13 drivers. Afterward, several lead changes, and four more cautions occurred. With nine laps remaining, Gordon passed Kyle Busch for the first position. Gordon maintained the lead to win his first race of the season, and his first in more than 60 races. There were eight cautions and 29 lead changes among 12 different drivers throughout the course of the race, Gordon's first win of the season. The result moved Gordon to the sixth position in the Drivers' Championship. He remained 15 points behind first place driver Kyle Busch and one ahead of Bobby Labonte in seventh.

2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, a
good article.
The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill- handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season.

I sure picked the right race to attend, did I? All of those restarts and wondering who would crash out, who would spin out who... I left not knowing for sure that Reed Sorenson won. I thought that (somewhat) local driver Justin Allgaier had it won but he ran out of gas on the next turn after where I was sitting because he ran out of fuel after the race was all but officially done. I thought that Ron Fellows had it won and the fans all congratulated him. I guess Sorenson was ahead of him. I have great photographs of the entire field as well as the whole field for the Grand Am race in the morning. Unfortunately, almost all of the idiot drivers sat in the passenger seat in Corvettes so I could only photograph a few drivers and even those turned out poor. Too bad they didn't make them stand in the back of trucks like they've done every other time. Royal broil 03:49, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
