Linking drivers after 100[edit]

I wouldn't mind linking the rest of the drivers. Many of them have their own pages. Casey14 17:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ties[edit]

Someone needs to reformat this. If someone won '4' races and is TIED with a lot of other people...well that's still a TIE. Everyone should have the same ordinal rank, then.R Young {^yakł_talk} 02:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Total Victories[edit]

I just pulled the information from the article, dropped it into Excel, and tallied the wins. 2169. That has been on-again-off-again in accuracy. As of today, with Gordon's 80th, on 10/7 @ Talladega, I total 2169. - Thaimoss 21:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:NASCAR logo.png[edit]

Image:NASCAR logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Clean sortable table[edit]

In an effort cleam up the table, and eliminate the html table...I'm going to start working on a sortable table similiar to the one List of American Championship Car winners Doctorindy (talk) 03:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be interesting to break it down into the 3 accepted "eras." Doctorindy (talk) 03:37, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Driver	Grand National Era (1949-1970)	Winston Cup Era (1971-2003)	NEXTEL/Sprint Cup Era (2004-present)	Combined Total
Richard Petty	0	0	0	200

Would it be possible for someone with more time and energy than I have to add a few columns? TOTAL NUMBER OF RACES RUN, and NUMBER OF RACES BEFORE 1ST WIN. Obviously adding the columns is easy, but making sure all the info is correct would drive me insane. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.144.253.150 (talk) 22:01, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Flag (Perhaps)[edit]

If the country flags in the table are meant to represent a driver's original nationality (i.e. where they were born), then the U.S.A. flag beside Mario Andretti needs to be changed to an Italian flag—Andretti was born in Motovun (Montona d'Istria), Italy, in 1940. However, if the flags in the table are meant to represent where the drivers were naturalized (i.e. the country where they held principle citizenship) at the time of there win(s), then the flag in the table is correct—Andretti was naturalized as an American in 1964, and as such, he would be considered an American citizen when he won the 1967 Daytona 500.

I only bring this up as a matter of consistency. The NASCAR records say that there have been three foreign-born drivers to win in its Grand National/Winston/Sprint Cup Series since the series began in 1949. The table on this page doesn't reflect this. While not an altogether enormous error, per se, I believe this to be a rather relevant distinction.

Perhaps—as is done here—the table could be modified to include both an Italian and a U.S. flag. Or, maybe just specify on the page what the flags actually represent.

Mario is generally considered to be an American - I was a major contributor to getting his article to Good Article level. But that doesn't matter since by WP:MOSFLAG all flags should be removed from this article. A naturalized citizen like him in one of the reasons to remove the flag. Another reason is that this in an encyclopedia using text to relay content not on symbols. There are text readers for the blind that don't work with symbols flags.

Sorting the table not alphabetically[edit]

I suggest sorting the drivers in the table not alphabetically but in order of the date of the last win. A driver who had 10 wins together in 1960 should be above a driver who didn't have 10 wins until 1970 and again above a driver who only has 10 wins today. If you agree, I will rearrange the drivers based on the date of their last win. --Mark McWire (talk) 09:39, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
