Article per each NASCAR car
Now that I think about it, considering they just finished with the CoT, we might want to consider doing individual articles for each of the NASCAR cars, but that would involve alot of pictures and digging around for info. As well as deciding on what to name the cars. Gaeaman787 (talk) 21:45, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Article of the month – Harley J. Earl Trophy, a Good Article
The Harley J. Earl Trophy is the trophy presented to the winner of the premier, and season-opening, event of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), the Daytona 500. It is named after influential automobile designer Harley Earl, who served as the second commissioner of NASCAR. Earl has been known as the so-called "father of the Corvette" and designer of the Firebird I prototype that adorns the trophy. The trophy is kept on display at the Daytona International Speedway, while a small replica is given to each Daytona 500 winner.

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.

Would you mind putting something in about Dick Trickle's death? It would mean a lot to us older fans. This week I uploaded this image if you want to make it the picture of the month. I have more that I could upload otherwise. Like an image that I took at the same event as this image. I have one of him doing the YMCA dance in front of the crowd at the 2012 Slinger Nationals. I have another one of him being interviewed wearing sunglasses and another one of him talking with author Father Dale Grubba who was a good friend of Alan Kulwicki (and wrote Kulwicki's biography). Dick Trickle was a real ham who always had an INTERESTING story! Royalbroil 15:09, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Article of the month – Dick Trickle
Richard "Dick" Trickle (October 27, 1941 – May 16, 2013) was an American race car driver. He raced for decades around the short tracks of Wisconsin, winning many championships along the way. Trickle competed in the ASA, ARTGO, ARCA, All Pro, IMCA, NASCAR, and USAC. In more than an estimated 2,200 races, Trickle logged one million laps and is believed to have won over 1,200 feature races. He was billed as the winningest short track driver in history. Trickle's career highlights include racing to 67 wins in 1972, winning seven ARTGO Championships in nine years between 1979 to 1987, winning back to back ASA AC-Delco Challenge championships in 1984 and 1985, the 1968 USAC Stock Car rookie of the year, and winning the 1989 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award in what was then called the Winston Cup (now Sprint Cup). Trickle was nicknamed the "White Knight" as referenced by his sponsored SuperAmerica paint scheme, when he raced in Wisconsin.

Hello,
I was wondering who is your favorite all time driver? Mine is Jeff Gordon but since he crashed on lap nine today, I'm rooting for my second favorite, Brad Keselowski. Also, have you been to any races? I have been to two NSCS and NNS races at Dover and I am going again this September.

- Hello. I have userboxes to describe some personal information. Yes I have attended several NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races, but I shouldn't go any further because "Wikipedia is not a social networking site, and all discussion should ultimately be directed solely toward the improvement of the encyclopedia."

I know it is discouraged, but couldn't it stay since there is nothing there to indicate that it is a cars number. United States Man (talk) 01:22, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- I figured it was common sense, and it hasn't been a problem since the creation of the infobox back in 2010. However, I might be able to add something in the infobox itself (No.) – Nascar1996 (talk • cont) 01:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- That will work. Something needs to be there. If you'll observe people closely you'll see that many people lack common sense. United States Man (talk) 01:26, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Which it is also in the qualifying and results tables. How are they now? – Nascar1996 (talk • cont) 01:28, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

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.
