So, question... What about INEX? According to their webpage, www.600racing.com, "INEX is the International Sanctioning body of the Legends, Bandolero and Thunder Roadster Cars. It's is the 3rd largest sanctioning body behind NASCAR and I.M.C.A. INEX annually sanctions over 1,700 races at over 200 different tracks."

Now, obviously INEX is a major organization, but should we list INEX races (of which there are many, so the listing would be merely generic) on every single track they race on? Or ignore that and let the speedway's homepage deal with that? -- Golbez 03:27, 25 May 2004 (UTC) reply

Track surface

There's no mention in this article of the track's famously bumpy surface. Can anybody think of a good way to work that into the article? TonartStewy ( talk) 16:36, 19 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Fictitious original fast lap speed?

Hi, not really sure what to do with this information or how to properly pass this along, but there's zero corroborating evidence for the claim that Breton Roussel was the first driver to hit the 193-mph lap mark at AMS. There's no record of an individual named Breton Roussel that ever ran in NASCAR, or, from what I can find, in any form of motorsports at all. Googling Roussel's name alongside any NASCAR-related keywords only brings up this Wikipedia page and a slew of other websites that are just copy-paste jobs of this very article. The accurately-listed fastest lap speed of 197+ mph by Geoff Bodine was particularly notable at the time he set it because it completely shattered the old track record of 186.507 mph (by 11 mph!), a number that would have been well below Roussel's purported 193-mph mark.

This info seems to originate from this edit to the page from all the way back on 5/27/2008 which gave conflicting information even then by listing the date of his supposed accomplishment as "June 22nd March 1990." Further working against it is the fact that neither potential date fell during one of the two Atlanta race weeks on the 1990 schedule and that this is the only edit that user has ever made on Wikipedia.

More than anything, I just want to know how this piece of misinformation managed to last over 13 years without coming into serious question before. This has to be one of the longest-running bogus claims on this site, no?

Road course layout

Both diagrams on here show a grayed out road course layout. Does this still exist? I assume it's just for clubs, but should there be some info on this? YellowAries2010 ( talk) 05:49, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
