 * Keep per WP:NMOTORSPORT, drivers who participate in at least one IndyCar Series race is automatically notable.  NASCARfan0548  ↗  04:30, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep – As already brought up, Bentley meets WP:NMOTORSPORT as he has "driven in a race in a fully professional series" (CART meets this criterion, while the Rolex Sports Car Series has amateur drivers so it's not "fully professional" but it is still a major discipline). Sourcing is understandably the big issue as the article barely had any for years and self-published references are only available after a quick Google search (which isn't surprising since Bentley is also a writer), but after doing some digging around, I was able to find independent news coverage of his CART career. The article still needs work, but it's a start. Zappa⚡Matic 16:50, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - Full-time CART drivers are exceedingly likely to be notable. Sources may be older and harder to find online. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 11:44, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
