Standalone Templates
The following templates require no variables to be declared.

Variables Required
The following templates require some variables to be declared.

Infobox NASCAR driver
Any driver who has raced in any of NASCAR's top-tier series should have the Infobox NASCAR driver template on their page. (Example taken and modified from Mark Martin - don't worry, he's not dead!) Notes:
 * The only variable that is required is the Name variable (but it's useless without other variables).
 * All dates must be in wikilinked, in order for the wiki system to recognize it as a date.
 * The First_SERIES_Race variable must have data, or the other variables for that series will not appear.
 * Only use the variables Last_SERIES_Race, Total_SERIES_Races, and Years_In_SERIES for a driver who has retired from that series.
 * Obviously, only use the Died and Cause of Death variables for deceased drivers.
 * All pages that linked to the old driver templates have been updated.

Infobox NASCAR crew chief
Any crew chief who has headed any of NASCAR's top-tier series should have the Infobox NASCAR crew chief template on their page. (Example taken and modified from Mark Martin - don't worry, he's not a crew chief!) Notes:
 * The only variable that is required is the Name variable (but it's useless without other variables).
 * All dates must be in wikilinked, in order for the wiki system to recognize it as a date.
 * The First_SERIES_Race variable must have data, or the other variables for that series will not appear.
 * Only use the variables Last_SERIES_Race, Total_SERIES_Races, and Years_In_SERIES for a driver who has retired from that series.
 * Obviously, only use the Died and Cause of Death variables for deceased drivers.

Infobox NASCAR team
All teams that currently run full-time in any of NASCAR's top three series (NEXTEL Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck) should have the Infobox NASCAR team template added to it. (Current definition of notable is not yet defined, see talk page.) (Example taken from Hendrick Motorsports.) Note: if a usable logo cannot be found, leave the image portion blank. (Image= |) An example of this can be found at Akins Motorsports.

Former NASCAR team
All articles about former notable teams that competed in NASCAR should have the Infobox NASCAR team added to it. (Current definition of notable is not yet defined, see talk page.) (Example taken from Andy Petree Racing.) All regulations regarding this template are the same as the NASCAR Owner Infobox.

Motorsport venue
We are using the standard infobox used around the world. We need to convert the miles length of the track into kilometers so the infobox length works. You can convert the distance by typing in "Convert 0.5 mile to kilometers" into your search engine to find the distance. Round it to maybe one place after the decimal point.

NASCAR race
All pages that are the listing of a NASCAR race event should have the Infobox motor race infobox added to it. (Example taken from Daytona 500) In this case, an event logo is preferable.

NASCAR race season
All pages that are the listing of a NASCAR season's race event should have the Infobox NASCAR race report infobox added to it. (Example taken from 2010 Food City 500)

Prior to 2011, this template was called. Numerous changes have been made to the template since then. When found by this (old) name, the infobox template should be updated to the new name, and its fields fixed as needed.

NASCAR next race
All pages that are the listing of a NASCAR race event should have the NASCAR next race infobox at the bottom. (Example taken from Daytona 500).
