G'day, I've just come across a small situation regarding one of the venues for the 1952 season, namely Stamford Park, which apparently was the location of the first NASCAR race in Canada. The Wikilink is a redirect to a section of an article about a suburb of Manchester in the UK, which obviously has no relevance. Most of the articles using the redirect are about the drivers in the race. I changed a couple of Wikilinks (diff, diff) (diff) to Stamford Park Racecourse (the venue was normally used for horseracing and seemed to be used as a motor racing circuit only for a couple of years - see [1]). You guys might not like the choice of name, so I'm not going to change any more; at the moment there are about 30 articles that have the unhelpful Wikilink.

Hi everyone, I've been thinking we should probably shorten the race article names with the default name (ex. NASCAR Cup Series at Michigan or NASCAR Cup Series at Pocono) instead of the full track name. I know it sounds stupid but since we have this on Loudon's and The Glen pages, why not? (TD:LR: removing the "motor speedway (or whatever "-way" it has) and just having the city name) 45BearsFan (talk) 18:45, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What we do with the genericization of the title of what is currently called ITT Industries & Goulds Pumps Salute to the Troops 250? Every option that I come up seem to be problematic:

• "NASCAR Busch Series at Pikes Peak" could lead to impression it was at Pikes Peak Hill Climb
• "NASCAR Busch Series at Pikes Peak International Raceway" is longer than the current title
• "NASCAR Busch Series at PPIR" is unprecedented, for now; genericized titles don't use abberivations

I don't mind that it's longer as long as the title is stable and recognizable. I would support B, NASCAR Busch Series at Pikes Peak International Raceway. We should avoid abbreviated track names as it would be confusing for the average (non-fan) reader. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  18:33, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I redid some of the tracks' infoboxes (mostly removing the spaces between the word and the = sign). I was wondering about the event sections and if it's okay to format them like that, or do I need to revert back to the br style? MysticCipher87(alt-account) (talk) 15:31, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
