Sorry, but there are a few things you're doing that is making me suspicious:

• The way you're blatantly denying it, exaggerating it as a guilty person would.
• Editing your user page to not only remove the template, but to attempt to attack me.
• When you created the List of safety car affected Formula One races, it looks to be in the exact same format as List of rain affected Formula One Grand Prix, which was created by Motofan, a confirmed sockpuppet of Flyhead.
• After looking through your recent contributions, I've also noticed that you're asking a lot of people on their user pages on subjects related to F1. Flyhead used to do that as was reminded that Wikipedia is not a chat room or forum.

This discussion is in reply to:

Sorry, I just have a bit of a concern about that new user Motorhead12. A few things looked suspicious such as petty vandalism on a few F1 articles, and a very short user page intro. But one thing that really made me suspicious, is that when he created that List of safety car affected Formula One races, it is in pretty much the exact same format as the List of rain affected Formula One Grand Prix which Motofan created, until other editors stepped in to improve it as well.

I'm just a little suspicious. If he's not a sockpuppet, then I apologise and will step away. But, editing his user page to blatantly deny it, as well at attempting to attack me is also concerning me: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User%3AMotorhead12&diff=220934460&oldid=220841545 TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 10:16, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I know he sounds suspicious and I'm keeping an eye on them. I'd say he's Motofan. He came straight to me and it was because he saw my name on the list. Why me. Why just me?

I'm not an "eejit", Canada were not listed in the article saying the A1 teams for the next 3 rounds, so I assume they will not race then. When Singapore left A1 between seasons 2 and 3, their flag was left on A1GP.com for ages after they had left.

Also, on the official A1GP press centre, you will find this page http://www.a1gppress.com/page-18.htm . You won't be able to view it unless you're registered A1 media, but on it, it says:

Team Seat Holder: Wade Cherwayko
Engineering Team: TBA
Team Manager: TBA

You could have said that the first time round. Since not everyone has access to the A1 Press website, it's hard to accurately confirm what the correct information is, and as such most of the time we simply stick with what we had from last year until something on the contrary is mentioned in a normal news article.

TheChrisD, the "official name" of your country is defined in Bunreacht na hÉireann and is "Ireland", not "Republic of Ireland". There is legislation which states that "Republic of Ireland" is the "official description" of the state. That is not the same thing. The problem is that "Ireland" is ambiguous in a way that Malta and Australia are not. The proposal here is for Ireland to be a disambiguation page, because there's no way of knowing what people are looking for when they look for "Ireland". -- Evertype· ✆ 13:32, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply

I came here to leave the exact same message. And also to point out that it is this exact and precise reason why the "Republic of Ireland" article should be moved. The term only has a status in the UK, so unless you're in the UK (or happy to go along with the British name for our state), the name of the state is Ireland. It'd be great if you'd review your Oppose vote in light of this too. -- HighKing ( talk) 19:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply

The whole situation regarding the locations of the Ireland article does need a lot of discussion as how best to arrange them, but I'm still opposed to making Ireland into a disambiguation page. I would assume that most people who search for Ireland want to know about the country, and wouldn't like to find a huge list of Ireland-related articles. As such, my opinion stands. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 21:39, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Your assumption isn't based on any statistical evidence as to what people search for, is it? Consider an 8-year-old kid in New Mexico, who has heard about St Patrick's Day and its association with Ireland. Will she be searching for the State we live in? the Island? The mythology? She'll type "Ireland" and hope what comes up is useful. The MOST useful thing would be a well-designed disambiguation page. As it is the content of the current "Island" page has way too much non-island stuff in it. And searching for "Ireland" gets you to the island page, not a page about the State. You're assuming that "Ireland" should go to the state page, but it goes to the island page now. -- Evertype· ✆ 22:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi Chris,

I saw your comments about the Shorty Awards wikipedia article: "Huge issues with this... Created by user whose only edits were this page and links to this page." as well as your Tweet tweet: "@shortyawards Wow, well done on turning into nothing but spam. AFD'ing your Wiki page as non-notable."

The Shorty Awards wikipedia entry was started by my girlfriend who's only other Wikipedia contribution (as far as I know) was creating a link between Bowling and Ten-pin_bowling. She has no connection to The Shorties, except for the fact that she knows me (and I'm one of the awards' founders). Seeing as how you are a much more active Wikipedia user that us, I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how The Shorty Awards page could be improved?

Thanks for your time, Adam (@varga) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abv ( talk • contribs) 04:22, 31 March 2009 (UTC) reply

In short, it needs more significant content to be passed off as notable. Using those links that are down as Further Reading as references instead would boost notability, and help to remove the look of a piece of original research.

Also, you mentioned that your girlfriend was the one who wrote the article. While you do say that she had no connection, there may still be a few POV problems here and there, and as such may require some editing by people not related to the awards at all to properly establish a neutral point of view. At the moment, it seems to read like an advertisment. However, it's not so bad as to be classed as blatant advertising. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 10:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• The chicane is highlighted even though very few series still currently use it. Perhaps it could be left shaded out while the main straight is bolded instead?

Thanks. Could you put a note on my forums about this? It would help. Accounts are free. I do provided reciprocal links. Give me a reason and I'll give you your own forums and a blog. The site is at wlps-ge-stuff.ucoz.com (no WWW). Will ( Talk - contribs) 01:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC) reply

I have also listed the scenario at the Administrator's Noticeboard, as I am no "attribution law" pro, thus I think I should get some input before I do (or undo) anything. Specifically for you, I asked a question about your userfied copy of the page, as copy/paste moves can be problematic. I hope you don't mind, I am just a bit confused personally and want to sort the scenario out. The link is Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Quick_question_regarding_.22Attribution_issues.22. Thanks alot, -- Taelus ( talk) 18:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

 Done, its all there in your userspace now, I replied on my talk page also. Thanks, -- Taelus ( talk) 19:41, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

As I'm sure you know perfectly well, no number of uses of the Newman/Haas name can possibly substitute for an actual cite. Why would you advocated for this move in spite of the overwhelming fact that it is completely unjustified? I can't understand this at all. No reasonable person would do such a thing. EeepEeep ( talk) 23:54, 7 May 2010 (UTC) reply

No it can't, but being a fan of the series who attempts to watch every race, I do believe that articles about the series and the teams should be correct as to their status as shown to me by the organisers and promoters.

Plus at this stage it's fairly bloody obvious. Did you not watch the race at Kansas and see the lack of Lanigan on the sidepod? Did you not read the entry list? Did you not see Froo's source where someone in the know mentions why Lanigan isn't there anymore? Just because it was a fairly stealthy changeover of name, doesn't mean that we need to turn a blind eye to it. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 00:27, 8 May 2010 (UTC) reply

I challenge you to find a single verifiable site for the name change. Nothing you've produced so far is at all compelling, and you know it. So what if a name isn't on the sidepod? For every news article that says NHR theres an equal number that say NHLR. You know this is just a rumor at this time. Why has no journalist comment upon it? Do you not think Robin Miller has called Carl Haas personally to see what's going on? Are you better informed than him? It's crazy, you know this is just speculation, there's no denying it. EeepEeep ( talk) 08:20, 8 May 2010 (UTC) reply

And " fairly bloody obvious" has absolutely nothing to do with it, as you know. It's about verifiability. Produce one dingle piece of verifiable evidence and I'll apologize, but at this point it's undeniable that you're being intentionally destructive. EeepEeep ( talk) 08:23, 8 May 2010 (UTC) reply

You need to watch your attitude before I take you to RFCU. The main IndyCar website itself has changed the name, while it is a secondary source, it's still a source nonetheless. Recent publications by them of entry lists have further solidified the point.

Are you still going to argue the same even when the final Indy 500 entry list comes out with the name? Because if so, then you have issues. Releases like that are enough to base information off of, in fact at a time half of the teams on the current season's page were only there because of entry lists. Proof has been given, it may not be primary, but it's proof nonetheless.

Also, to quote someone from a forum I noticed: "Well the IRL isn't going to publish negative news if they are not in the loop. It is up to Newman-Haas or Lanigan to say what is going on...and they aint talking. Cant get a press release out of people not willing to talk. IT isn't the IRL's job to speculate or try to fill in the holes." It looks like we're not going to get a proper job out of it, so we need to make do and revert back to other minor secondary sources, which in their multiples are starting to recognise it as just Newman/Haas: [1] [2] TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 11:36, 8 May 2010 (UTC) reply

" unregistered's shouldn't be changing that" -- Wow, congrats for one of the most completely wrong revert reasons ever explicitly stated on Wikipedia. Btw, I am not that IP you reverted there, just a laughing bystander. I hope you get your due indef block sometime soon. -- 87.79.170.110 ( talk) 20:39, 4 June 2010 (UTC) reply

It's far more likely your IP is going to be indef'd for comments like that. It has been the norm for quite a while that articles relating to sporting matters like Formula One and other not-based-in-America racing series than British English be used rather than American English. I was simply reverting it back to the standard that some unregistered, more than likely American, decided to change because they saw the way it was as "wrong". TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 20:47, 4 June 2010 (UTC) reply

LOL. What part specifically of my comment constitutes incivility, let alone a personal attack, in your esteemed opinion? Also, regardless of any spelling consensus, you're still grossly wrong in reverting for the stated reason that "unregistered's shouldn't be changing that". That's just not the correct reason to revert, ever. If you think the article should be semiprotected, request it. Otherwise, live with the fact that anyone can edit really means anyone can edit. Again: Your revert in and of itself was absolutely ok. Your accompanying rationale as reflected in your edit summary is decidedly not. -- 87.79.170.110 ( talk) 21:20, 4 June 2010 (UTC) reply

"I hope you get your due indef block sometime soon" <- That comment right there constitutes incivility. Now why don't you stop hiding behind an IP which hasn't had any edits before now, and post with your actual profile, since you seem to know enough about Wikipedia policies and internal workings?

And what if I had left my edit summary without the "unregistered shouldn't change that" part? Then you wouldn't have had any beef? I'm just saying that an unregistered IP shouldn't be making the decision to change to American English just because they probably looked at it and thought "Oh hell no, this is wrong, they're spelling tires wrong! I must change that!" TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 21:41, 4 June 2010 (UTC) reply

As much as I know, Dario had a gearbox issue around lap 200. The team fixed it and sent him out for a few laps before they parked him. Looking at the lap report on the final lap, Dario's last completed lap occurred some 3:15 before Kanaan crossed the line. Although not sure, there must be a rule that a driver who retires to the pits within the last five minutes gets classed as running. Either that, or I'm being pedantic! :( Cs-wolves (talk) 21:32, 20 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Well, I missed the vast majority of the race only grabbing it at lap 240, and even then was busy watching the NASCAR to notice, so I'm not sure whether he really was running or not. But I was just going by the results that they posted where they say he was running. Same goes for that lap report doc as well. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 21:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC) reply

I think we may as well just show what the IRL show and list him as running. It seems CGR never officially retired him from the race and thus is shown as running. Yep, too many sports going on at the one time for us both to keep an eye on! Cs-wolves (talk) 21:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Yup, full box score now says Running. Guess he wasn't officially retired or something. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 22:17, 20 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Glad that one is cleared up! I think there was another situation a few years back with Wheldon when he was listed at least 50 laps down but was deemed as running even though he was in the pits. It's just a shame that the IRL very rarely publish their regulations such as the FIA do, just to get a clear structure on how they regulate a retirement. Cs-wolves (talk) 22:23, 20 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Looking at this talk page and your edit history, I see a pattern of edit warring and incivility, so maybe it's you that should be watching their mouth, eh? I didn't say anything a reasonable person would find offensive. Adam Carroll has never used Irish as his racing nationality (A1GP obviously doesn't count, see Graham Rahal) and listing this incorrectly was a direct violation of established wikipedia guidelines. 65.219.168.131 ( talk) 04:03, 2 July 2010 (UTC) reply

There was no warring, only people who never read the talk page at the time where the discussion was to wait until the IRL posted info, which has happened. I was referring to the fact that your edit summary seemed harsh, almost as if you were berating people with what you said. If you read the talk page you would know that we had issues given that A1, and Team Ireland in general was funny when it came for racing nationality, seeing as how to team covered the whole island, and not just the Republic, thus making it hard to say for certain whether Adam was racing under a British or an Irish license.

Hello you have new messages regarding the newer tables for results. Thanks and happy editing. Nascar 1996 01:07, 11 September 2010 (UTC) reply

Hello, are you going to continuesly update the standings? User:Wean0r is taking a long Wikibreak. I'm wanting to know because I may have to update it. Then, next season so I'm wondering if you are going to do it or will I. Nascar 1996 00:46, 19 October 2010 (UTC) reply

I aim to update them every week after the race ends, however I was away all this past weekend and had no connection at all, so I presumed someone else would have done it in the meantime. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 18:32, 19 October 2010 (UTC) reply

No, only you and Wean0r have done it since I made the table. I would do it, but I have the entire race to write about. Hopefully Wean0r will come back because he was a big helper for the NASCAR project. It seems that ever since you alls conflict with the table he hasn't been back. Nascar 1996 19:14, 19 October 2010 (UTC) reply

Since you edit the large table on 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, if you would like, will you update and fix the colors for this section? If you would like to see an example of how it should be. Here is a link Jimmie Johnson. He's been at Hendrick Motorsports his whole career, and his sponsor has stayed Dupont. If you don't know the final standing positions for him, I'll add that.

As the season approaches (and by an older conversation) are you still going to be able to update the large table weekly? If you can, would you rather have last years name blanked or what? Nascar 1996 16:15, 17 January 2011 (UTC) reply

I do expect to be around updating the points at the end of the races for the vast majority of the season for the Sprint Cup, and on occasion for the Nationwide this year (barring any late-night Saturday races in Sprint Cup, which pitch them into 3-4am my time). I have no problems with others attempting to do the same at or around the same time as me (sometimes myself and User:Cs-wolves would routinely end up beating one or the other when it came to IndyCar last year), as long as they are aware of it, and don't try to make it their personal mission to specifically have the edit credit to them every week. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 16:54, 17 January 2011 (UTC) reply

Okay, thanks. I was just wanting to make sure, and I didn't know that Cs-wolves may do it, too. We also had another editor doing it from last year, but they said they would be on a short wikibreak, and never returned. Nascar 1996 16:59, 17 January 2011 (UTC) reply

Tip: Hello, I seen you are confused with the new points system. Whereever the finish is the amount of points they will get such as Clay Rogers finished third today (40 points) He led one lap, too. So add one point. Total=42 points. Hope you understand it better. Nascar 1996 04:57, 19 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Oh, I know exactly how the new points system is, 43-1 for 1st down to 43rd. What had me confused was how they had mentioned the "3 points for winning the race" bonus, and whether or not that bonus rolled down to the first driver who was actually eligible to score points, in this case Clay Rogers. Now that I've seen it doesn't, I'm confused as to why they put so much emphasis on telling the fans of the 43-1 system, seeing as how 1st place in essence always scores 46 points rather than 43, as the bonus doesn't roll down. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 11:25, 19 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Okay, will you please review the changes to the Cup article (to the table you contribute to)? I made some changes to it. Please review it and see how you like it, thanks. Nascar 1996 19:28, 19 February 2011 (UTC) reply

I really don't mind either way, it's just an option for a different style of showing the results, if you think it looks better another way, make it so. At the end, all I feel is that the ineligible drivers are still showcased underneath those that are eligible, and the extra row of headers helps to remember which race is which when browsing over the table as a whole. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 21:13, 19 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Sorry about the edit conflict. I'll let you change both tables tomorrow. :/ Nascar 1996 21:06, 19 February 2011 (UTC) reply

It wasn't you, don't worry. Wolves had made a few changes to fix some of the race names, and changed the dashes, but since it affected the drivers table, it edit conflicted me after I'd filled it out. When it comes to Sprint Cup/Nationwide, I usually start to fill in the table as stuff happens, it tends to reduce the work a little bit by having the start-and-parks and those that are out for other reasons already filled in when their position isn't going to change at all. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 21:13, 19 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Okay, and since all the schedules in the table was under the title, the one at the main bottom, just looked very weird. If it gets too long over the season we will probably have to replace in. Nascar 1996 21:22, 19 February 2011 (UTC) reply

Article of the month – 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. ( More...)

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.

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.

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.

Article of the month – 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. ( More...)

Yeah...that was a bit of a duff call to not give a penalty, if I'm honest. One of at least two handfuls of penalties that should have been given out. I don't care how tight the track is, if you ram somebody off, you do not deserve to gain an advantage out of it. Driving standards were absolutely abysmal today, and could eventually lead to the swing of the championship from Power to Franchitti. Probably the first time on Twitter since St. Pete that the double-filers have been universally condemned. Still scratching my head about some of those calls. Wild. Cs-wolves (talk) 21:18, 10 July 2011 (UTC) reply

I have absolutely no words for what I have just witnessed over the past 30 minutes. Hopefully Barnhart will get his P45 (or whatever they call it Yankland) in the morning. What a joke. Absolute farce. Words absolutely fail me. I thought I had seen everything in IndyCar this year, but it comes up with new ways to amaze me. Will Power deserves a medal for that response. Classy guy. Cs-wolves (talk) 22:02, 14 August 2011 (UTC) reply

Missed that bit, as the screen cut out here...the main gist of it..."I'm sorry, my bad...", or something along those lines? I just wonder how many mistakes we are likely to see in the final five races...I'm honestly expecting another before year's out. Cs-wolves (talk) 22:08, 14 August 2011 (UTC) reply

I think that if either of us were in race control, we'd definitely put them into shape soon enough. It's just amazing how many calls that have been missed in an incompetent manner (Toronto and Edmonton without doubt) and the ones that should never have been called in the first place. Leaves you scratching your head sometimes... Cs-wolves (talk) 22:17, 14 August 2011 (UTC) reply

It's the only thing that really annoys me on-track about the American series; their inability to stomach a "little" rain. [For that reason we can exclude Brazil from this year] What they don't realise is that a little rain can spice up the action. Sure, the NASCARs were trundling around at Montreal when they had that wet race, but it made for epic viewing. Agree with you about the dice point. We think Formula One make errors on the odd occasion, but it's nothing compared to IndyCar officialdom. Pansies sums them up perfectly. Cs-wolves (talk) 22:33, 14 August 2011 (UTC) reply

Article of the month – Tim Richmond, a good article Tim Richmond (June 7, 1955 - August 13, 1989) was an American race car driver from Ashland, Ohio. He competed in IndyCar racing before transferring to NASCAR's Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series). Richmond was the first driver to change from open wheel racing to NASCAR stock cars, which has since become an industry trend. He won the 1980 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award and had 13 victories during eight NASCAR seasons. Richmond achieved his top NASCAR season in 1986 when he finished third in points. He won seven races that season, more than any other driver on the tour. When he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 in February 1987, media reported that he had pneumonia. The infection most likely resulted from his compromised immune system, which had been weakened by AIDS. The disease would drastically shorten his life. Despite the state of his health, Richmond competed in eight races in 1987, winning two events and one pole position before his final race in August of that year. He attempted a comeback in 1988 before NASCAR banned him for testing positive for a banned substance. Richmond grew up in a wealthy family and lived a debauched lifestyle, earning him the nickname "Hollywood". In describing Richmond's influence in the sport of racing, Lowe's Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said: "We've never had a race driver like Tim in stock car racing. He was almost a James Dean-like character." When Richmond was cast for a bit part in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace, "He fell right in with the group working on the film," said director Hal Needham. Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick. ( More...)

Article of the month – 2010 AAA 400, a good article The 2010 AAA 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 26, 2010 at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware. The 400 lap race was the twenty-eighth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the second race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, of the Hendrick Motorsports team. Jeff Burton finished second, and Joey Logano, who started nineteenth, clinched third. Pole position driver Jimmie Johnson maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as A. J. Allmendinger, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. Fourteen laps later Allmendinger became the leader of the race. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Clint Bowyer, and Tony Stewart were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Afterward, Johnson became the leader of the race, once Allmendinger pitted because of a loose wheel. Johnson maintained the first position to lead the most laps of 191, and to win his sixth race of the season. There were four cautions and eighteen lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Jimmie Johnson's sixth win in the 2010 season, and the fifty-third of his career. The result moved Johnson up to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Denny Hamlin and ten ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-five ahead of Toyota and eighty ahead of Ford, with eight races remaining in the season. A total of 88,000 people attended the race, while 3.966 million watched it on television. ( More...)

According to the video of the crash, it is confirmed - as you say - that lap 11 was the crash. The caution came out, then the red flag at lap 12, not 13. The ticker somehow went to 13 (probably as everyone pitted or something like that) at about 2:47 of the video, but the red flag was lap 12. Just a minor bit in reply to an edit summary on the page. =) CycloneGU ( talk) 02:07, 17 October 2011 (UTC) reply

Yea, it did go caution on 11, then red on 12. Most places seem to quote 13 as the crash and/or the red flag since that's officially the lap when the cars were stopped on pit lane about three-quarters of the way down, which is past the start-finish line, hence why it went to 13 laps. Under normal circumstances, it doesn't make a difference since the race would continue from there, but alas... TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 02:17, 17 October 2011 (UTC) reply

I'm not particularly too thrilled at the situation myself. I find your reasoning to be perfectly valid, and it's hardly original research if it can be stated by someone who is in the know. Now, while I'm ultimately not trying to get it removed from the infobox - merely to leave a US tag along with it - I'm not opposed to removing it either. Your method is the best that I've seen so far, and it's better than the previous edit wars that Irish IPs and other less-experienced editors have gone through in the past. I'm also still not impressed with Escape Orbit's contributions, they seem to have even less of a NPOV given that they have been reverting those editors for the past three Paddy's Days. I also fail to see how the other editors also can't interpret the article I linked which shows how the name in used incorrectly. TheChrisD ^{Rants• Edits} 14:06, 19 March 2012 (UTC) reply

Article of the month – 2010 Auto Club 500, a Good Article The 2010 Auto Club 500 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on February 21, 2010 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. Contested over 250 laps, it was the second race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Kevin Harvick finished second, and Jeff Burton, who started fourteenth, clinched third. Pole position driver Jamie McMurray maintained his lead into the first corner, but Juan Pablo Montoya, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Johnson became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 101 laps. During the final pit stops, Johnson was on pit lane as the caution flag came out. Burton, who led the race during Johnson's pit stop, did not pass Johnson to put him a lap down. Therefore, Johnson retained the first position upon the completion of his pit stop. On the final lap, Harvick was gaining on Johnson, but Johnson maintained his position to win his first race of the season. There were six caution flags and twenty-eight lead changes among fourteen different drivers throughout the course of the race. The result moved Johnson up twenty-three spots to tenth in the Drivers' Championship, 78 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, eight points points ahead of Toyota and nine ahead of Ford, with thirty-four races remaining in the season. ( Read more...)

Article of the month – 2010 Sylvania 300 The 2010 Sylvania 300 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 19, 2010, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. The 300 lap race was the twenty-seventh in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the first race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. Clint Bowyer, of the Richard Childress Racing team, won the race, with Denny Hamlin finishing second, and Jamie McMurray third. Pole position driver Brad Keselowski maintained his lead in the first lap, but in the second lap Tony Stewart pulled ahead. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, and Hamlin were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Hamlin was the only one to recover and finish in the top five. With two laps remaining, Tony Stewart was leading the race when he ran out of fuel, giving the lead to Bowyer, who also led the most laps in the race with 176. There were eight cautions and twenty-three lead changes among eight different drivers during the race. The race was Clint Bowyer's first win in the 2010 season, and the third of his career. The result advanced Bowyer to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Hamlin and ten ahead of Kevin Harvick, but because of a penalty three days after the race, he fell to twelfth in the standings. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-two points ahead of Toyota and seventy-four ahead of Ford, with nine races remaining in the season. A total of 95,000 people attended the race, while 3.68 million watched it on television. ( Read more...)

Article of the month – Tim Richmond - a Good Article Tim Richmond (June 7, 1955 – August 13, 1989) was an American race car driver from Ashland, Ohio. He competed in IndyCar racing before transferring to NASCAR's Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series). Richmond was one of the first drivers to change from open wheel racing to NASCAR stock cars full-time, which has since become an industry trend. He won the 1980 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award and had 13 victories during eight NASCAR seasons. Richmond achieved his top NASCAR season in 1986 when he finished third in points. He won seven races that season, more than any other driver on the tour. When he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 in February 1987, media reported that he had pneumonia. The infection most likely resulted from his compromised immune system, which was weakened by AIDS. The disease drastically shortened his life. Despite the state of his health, Richmond competed in eight races in 1987, winning two events and one pole position before his final race in August of that year. He attempted a comeback in 1988 before NASCAR banned him for testing positive for a banned substance; after NASCAR insisted on access to his entire medical record before reinstating him, Richmond withdrew from racing. NASCAR later stated their original test was inaccurate. Richmond grew up in a wealthy family and lived a freewheeling lifestyle, earning him the nickname "Hollywood". In describing Richmond's influence in racing, Charlotte Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said: "We've never had a race driver like Tim in stock car racing. He was almost a James Dean-like character." When Richmond was cast for a bit part in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace, "He fell right in with the group working on the film," said director Hal Needham. Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick. ( Read more...)

Article of the month – Daytona International Speedway Daytona International Speedway is a race track in Daytona Beach, Florida, United States. Since opening in 1959, it has been the home of the Daytona 500, the most prestigious race in NASCAR. In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosts races of ARCA, AMA Superbike, Grand-Am and Motocross. The track features multiple layouts including the primary 2.5 miles (4.0 km) high speed tri-oval, a 3.56 miles (5.73 km) sports car course, a 2.95 miles (4.75 km) motorcycle course, and a .25 miles (0.40 km) karting and motorcycle flat-track. The track's 180-acre (73 ha) infield includes the 29-acre (12 ha) Lake Lloyd, which has hosted powerboat racing. The speedway is owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation. The track was built in 1958 by NASCAR founder William France Sr. to host racing that was being held at the former Daytona Beach Road Course. His banked design permitted higher speeds and gave fans a better view of the cars. Lights were installed around the track in 1998, and today it is the third largest single lit outdoor sports facility. The speedway has been renovated three times, with the infield renovated in 2004, and the track repaved in 1978 and 2010. ( Read more...)

Article of the month – Auto Club Speedway, a Good Article Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway) is a two-mile (3 km), low-banked, D-shaped oval superspeedway in Fontana, California which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1997. The track was also used for open wheel racing events until 2005. The racetrack is located near the former locations of Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The track is owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation and is the only track owned by ISC to have naming rights sold. The speedway is served by the nearby Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 freeways as well as a Metrolink station located behind the backstretch. Construction of the track, on the site of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, began in 1995 and was completed in late 1996. The speedway has a grandstand capacity of 91,200 and 28 skyboxes. In 2006, a fanzone was added behind the main grandstand. Lights were added to the speedway in 2004 with the addition of a second annual NASCAR weekend. In 2011 and 2012 the track hosted only one NASCAR weekend. The IZOD Indycar Series returned to the track in 2012 with the season finale race (a 500 mile night race); it ran a 400 mile race from 2002–05 at the track. ( Read more...)

Article of the month – 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. ( Read more...)

Article of the month – Tim Richmond, a good article Tim Richmond (June 7, 1955 - August 13, 1989) was an American race car driver from Ashland, Ohio. He competed in IndyCar racing before transferring to NASCAR's Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series). Richmond was the first driver to change from open wheel racing to NASCAR stock cars, which has since become an industry trend. He won the 1980 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award and had 13 victories during eight NASCAR seasons. Richmond achieved his top NASCAR season in 1986 when he finished third in points. He won seven races that season, more than any other driver on the tour. When he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 in February 1987, media reported that he had pneumonia. The infection most likely resulted from his compromised immune system, which had been weakened by AIDS. The disease would drastically shorten his life. Despite the state of his health, Richmond competed in eight races in 1987, winning two events and one pole position before his final race in August of that year. He attempted a comeback in 1988 before NASCAR banned him for testing positive for a banned substance. Richmond grew up in a wealthy family and lived a debauched lifestyle, earning him the nickname "Hollywood". In describing Richmond's influence in the sport of racing, Lowe's Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said: "We've never had a race driver like Tim in stock car racing. He was almost a James Dean-like character." When Richmond was cast for a bit part in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace, "He fell right in with the group working on the film," said director Hal Needham. Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick. ( Read more...)

Chill with the personal attacks man. You may personally not like me, but publicly calling me a "nuisance" out of the blue? Sorry, who are you? Nordicthrash420 ( talk) 16:49, 9 January 2018 (UTC) reply

Don't tell me what to do. As for "who am I": well I'm not a person who has only three days worth of edit contributions on their history, reverting good-faith and sourced changes, acting like they own the article in question; and attempting to report minor source reversions as 3RR edit wars.

Oh, and by the way, that source you added malformed to the article which hashtag vindicated you? Being from back in November, it doesn't actually say anything about the third car still being considered by the team for Indy; something that the source Joey said he would add later which I did myself to attempt to be a useful editor actually does say. 🇮🇪 TheChrisD { 💬| ✏️} 17:02, 9 January 2018 (UTC) reply

"Don't tell me what to be" is inherently being a hypocrite. You will not call me "nuisance" or anything else again. You can't see the quote from Sam Schmidt? Nordicthrash420 ( talk) 17:14, 9 January 2018 (UTC) reply

You mean There might be a very competitive third Schmidt Peterson Honda available for Indy? That's not a confirmation in any form. In fact that source in it's entirety is pretty much useless since it was written on rumours and presumptions. Today's sources are definite confirmation that the third car will be run regardless of Calmels; everything up until now hadn't said that. Anyway, I'm going to stick with calling a spade a spade, thanks. You want others to not call you out? Might be an idea to not attempt to rile them up by questioning their legitimacy; particularly since your own account has a limited history and could potentially be construed by people as a sock or attack account. 🇮🇪 TheChrisD { 💬| ✏️} 19:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC) reply

Doesn't matter. I was proven correct and expect an apology from you going forward. And if SPM's third car isn't 77 and Lazier doesn't run 44, I will personally apologize back to both of you. Nordicthrash420 ( talk) 20:37, 9 January 2018 (UTC) reply
