Talk:2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

Correct team names?
I noticed that on the official live timing page of NASCAR (Phoenix race) Joe Nemecheck is listed driving for NEMCO Motorsports and not Identity Ventures Racing. I also Noticed that the Chip Ganassi Racing drivers are listed driving for Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. And Dave Blaney is listed driving for Humphrey Smith Racing instead of Randy Humphrey Racing. Landon Cassil is listed driving for Hillman Racing instead of Circle Sport and Morgan Shepherd is listed drving for NEMCO Racing. Jahn1234567890 (talk) 20:12, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * You can safely ignore what NASCAR.com's timing says the team names are; they are VERY slow to be updated - those are last year's team names - and sometimes they're just plain wrong regardless. The only one of those that is partially correct is Cassill's - the 40 car is jointly fielded by Circle Sport and Hillman Racing. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:41, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

No. 33 2014 Plans
As far as I can see, Circle Sport and Childress plan to run the #33 in some capacity for the entire season, so can we move them back to the full-time box?Theorycreation (talk) 19:07, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Makes sense to me. As long as you are sure that they will be running the full season. United States Man (talk) 21:10, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Team names of the 66 car
I noticed that the team names of the 66 car are sometimes quite different. The 66 of nemecheck of his results here on wiki says Identity Ventures Racing. On Brett Moffitt's wiki page it says NEMCO-Jay Robinson Racing. On Timmy Hill wiki page it says Jay Robinson Racing. Tomy Drissi's wiki page also says NEMCO-Jay Robinson Racing. The jayski site list the 66 al under the MWR banner. I'm not sure what is the correct one. Jahn1234567890 (talk) 23:06, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Reading the NEMCO-JRR Motorsports page, it appears "Identity Ventures" is the official name of the 87, while NEMCO-JRR, NEMCO-Jay Robinson, and Jay Robinson Racing are all the 66 team. Any races run with the 66 by Michael Waltrip and Jeff Burton are usually under the MWR banner.  Zappa  24  Mati   23:13, 1 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply. I knew that the 66 of Waltrip and The Mayor are entered by MWR. I think I got confused that Nemecheck also runs his 87 car under the Identity Ventures Racing banner. Jahn1234567890 (talk) 09:57, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Chase Grid
With the new Chase format, NASCAR has really stepped up its game in promoting it. As a result, we usually tend to see whoever leads the "Chase Grid" listed atop the points standings. For instance, seeing Brad Keselowski at the points lead over Jeff Gordon, since Brad K currently leads the Grid, but not the points standings. Should we do something like add another photo to the lead of whoever currently leads the Grid as well?  Zappa  24  Mati   02:39, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. I recall a discussion somewhere where we agreed to ignore the chase grid until the actual chase (I'm not sure where that was though). United States Man (talk) 17:54, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Standings table colors?
Are there supposed to be some logic in those? I would think so, because #1's, 2-5, 6-10 and 11-20 groups have each own colors. After those it gets messy. At first, it would seem that next ones from 21 onward are bluish and the last ones purplish.

But, let's take look on the first race: 21-26, 30-32 and 34-36 are blue, while 27-29, 33 and 37-43 are purple. That does not seem to have any logic. Some race even has #43 with blue background, and another #25 with purple... 82.141.94.123 (talk) 05:56, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. If you look at Template:NASCAR driver results legend, there is a key for the coloring of the finishing orders. Everyone who fails to finish gets a purple background, everyone outside the top 20 gets a blue background.  NFL  is  Awesome   16:20, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * That would mean 27-29 did not finish, and 34-36 did finish. So it is possible to finish a race and be 9 places lower than someone who didn't finish? Seems quite odd. 82.141.94.123 (talk) 08:30, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It's possible. It could be because a much slower car gets lapped many times, and the car that laps it gets involved in a late crash or blows an engine.  Zappa  24  Mati   03:58, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
