Call me old-fashioned, but I think the team owner or crewchief deserves more credit than the sponsor...

On a separate note, in '00, Busch GN set an unenviable record by having the first driver sued by a sponsor (AT&T), essentially for being a lousy driver: Mike Borkowski, who punted off 2 other drivers & was villified by fans, media, & officials. Trekphiler 04:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Buschwackers

edit

This article needs a NPOV makeover, especially in the "Buschwhackers" section. Too much opinion and not enough citations. Crabapplecove 00:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

edit

The link given to support the loss of Busch sponsorship [1] is redirected by the destination to their current sports page. Can somebody find a better specific reference, perhaps a press release? --BigMoneyJim 19:22, 14 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sports class Series?

edit

Should we make any mention of them possibly turning the busch series into a sports class seres? Mark4life92 15:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)Mark4life92Reply

Requested move

edit
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was No consensus to move page at this time, per discussion below. There seems to be significant support for moving the article on January 1, 2008. -GTBacchus(talk) 00:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply


Busch SeriesNationwide Series — The last race of this circuit has been run under the Busch Series name, and thus the name change is now official to Nationwide Series. —AEMoreira042281 (talk) 13:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Survey

edit
Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Support: Since the season is already over, then obviously we should at least change the article's name to the "Nationwide Series". We should change both the Busch and Nextel Cup logos and articles by Speedweeks. I agree with Sawblade that we should find an administrator to move the article, but not the redirects. If someone searches "Busch Series" they should come up with the Nationwide Series instead.

Take a look at the discussion right above this section. Caster23 talk contribs 14:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the explanation

Now I finally understand the difference between a Nationwide/Busch car and a Winston/Sprint car.GABaker (talk) 15:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rain tires & wipers

edit

There should be something about rain tires and wipers, since the first points race in NASCAR history to use them was just raced at the 2008 NAPA Auto Parts 200 70.51.11.219 (talk) 06:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Street course

NASCAR ads claim Montreal is the only street course in NASCAR... 70.51.11.219 (talk) 06:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Table Error

edit

Dale Earnhardt Sr. has 21 carreer Busch Series wins, why is he not listed in the Nationwide series all time wins list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toughguy223 (talkcontribs) 00:03, 12 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Impala?

edit

Why is the CoT said to be similar to the Impala and not the Camaro? Montblanc2000 (talk) 04:51, 13 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wins table

edit

Is there any reliable list of victories in the pre-1982 Modified/Sportman Division...which is the precursor to what we call the Busch/Nationwide Series? It would be interesting to expand the table (adding a column) to reflect those victories as well. Seems NASCAR tries to forget that series existed. Doctorindy (talk) 15:39, 16 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

60 Won 2011 Owners Championship

edit

I edited the winners' table. It previously read that Stenhouse won and the #6 won the owner's championship. Stenhouse drove the 6. It was the #60, that Edwards mostly drove that won the owners championship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.80.234.34 (talk) 19:51, 22 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Minor but not, series name

XFINITY is stylized by all capital letters. This should be reflected in the page, as it's the "official" way to stylize it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seola (talkcontribs) 20:22, 20 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Seola: Per MOS:TM, even if a company officially uses capital letters, we don't; it's like how Speed Energy Formula Off-Road is the page name, rather than SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road. Zappa24Mati 21:55, 20 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
@ZappaOMati: Per the Wiki standards, XFINITY qualifies because it is always stylized in caps, and because the first letter is pronounced separately from the word itself. Xfinity in stylize has not in prominent use, in fact - Wiki is the only place to stylize it as such. Seola (talk) 17:01, 25 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Seola: And which Wiki standard is it? Looking at Comcast Cable (where Xfinity redirects to), it uses just Xfinity instead of XFINITY, while other articles use both (Xfinity Arena, XFINITY Theatre). But as stated at MOS:TM (which is a guideline provided): "Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official", as long as this is a style already in widespread use, rather than inventing a new one", which is why we use Kiss instead of KISS. NFLisAwesome (ZappaOMati) 18:45, 25 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Actually, another example that could work (since it's NASCAR-related) is with the Nextel Cup Series. Even though the official name is "NEXTEL Cup Series", we've been using "Nextel". NFLisAwesome (ZappaOMati) 19:03, 26 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Update information to reflect current CoT Xfinity cars and Next Gen cars

edit

There's a lot of the section about the cars themselves that is about a decade out of date. For example, comparing the Gen 4 Xfinity cars to CoT Cup cars like those are the current cars. 2600:1700:3D90:B8E0:1007:3986:A5A:C75E (talk) 04:19, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
