Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

International?[edit]

Would this be a similar concept to that of 'world' in 'World Series'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.8.118 (talk) 19:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's more international than that world series... but yes. 70.29.208.129 (talk) 08:34, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2007 Season?[edit]

If you go to the IROC website, you are greeted by a series of pages thanking everyone that has been involved with the sport over the years. In January, they announced that they had to postpone the opening race of the season due to a lack of a title sponsor. There is nothing on the site that says anything directly, but it almost sounds as if they have given up and are closing their doors. Can anyone either affirm this or find out otherwise?

Restrictor plates[edit]

Do they use restrictor plates on the IROC cars at Daytona and Talladega?

What kind of cars have they used after 2004? Rmhermen 20:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure about restrictor plates on IROC cars.

They still use the Trans-Am body. A 2005 photo can be found here.

--Jon Revelle 22:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm quite sure they do not use restrictor plates. The engines are simply tuned to run at an acceptable speed, and considerable bodywork helps slow them down. 64.32.241.35 14:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No restrictor plates but a lower-aerodynamic body is correct. IROC has historically used are retired drivers to test the cars and to ensure the cars are all close to the same speed. The cars are set slightly too tight (or push) so that the drivers with limited stockcar experience don't spin out as easy. There have been numerous body styles and manufacturers used over the years. --Royalbroil 02:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest Moment[edit]

I dont know where you could fit it, but i feel like the battle between Dale Earnhardt Sr and Jr at Michigan in 1999 should fit the article. I dont think any racing fan can ever forget father and son, side by side, for the win. --RICKY 22:12, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunantly, that would not be considered a neutral statement. It could be in a trivia section, but those are generally discouraged. What you could do is research for a history section or for that year's page IROC_XXIII. If all else fails, be bold and have fun! (just don't overdo it!)
