Full Race Names
I'm wondering whether the 'subtitle' (e.g. presented by..., powered by... etc.) of race/event names should be included in the Wikipedia page title (or in the Wikipedia page at all) as I've noticed their inclusion is inconsistent at least in the pages I've seen. For example, the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube and Quaker State 400 available at Walmart pages have the full name in the first sentence but not in the title whereas the Enjoy Illinois 300 presented by TicketSmarter and Iowa Corn 350, Powered by Ethanol do not have the full name at all. I've had a look in this Wikiproject's standards but I haven't found anything related to this. Thanks. UseroftheWikis (talk) 18:07, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It emphatically should not. See WP:CONCISE. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 18:12, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

NASCAR race articles
Now I know we can be a little too early, but I was wondering how early is too early? I want to finish up the rest of the rest of the seasons articles. and I know we have either the race program or the race track, but since the roval got a redesign and all. 45BearsFan (talk) 01:49, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Conversion to km/h
reverted my addition of conversions to km/h in the qualifying lap table on 2012 Pocono 400 and deleted my request for conversions on 2012 FedEx 400. I believe these conversions are required by MOS:CONVERSIONS, but 35.139.154.158 has asserted they are not. Speeds and distances are converted to metric elsewhere in these articles, so it seems inconsistent not to convert them everywhere. These conversions are useful to allow readers to compare these events to events that take place outside the United States, and also to allow non-US readers to get a sense of how fast people were driving. What do other editors think? -- Beland (talk) 16:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Agree here and disagree with 35.139....'s rationale written in the edit summaries. Those reverts should not have been made. &#8213;  "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  19:54, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Okey, I've added conversions to the tables in both these articles. -- Beland (talk) 19:20, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 35.139.154.15 (who appears to be editing while logged out) has reverted these changes. I have asked them to come to this thread to discuss. In particular they said "inappropriate to add conversions when they're completely uncustomary". I'm not sure if they mean uncustomary in the US, on Wikipedia, or NASCAR articles, or what. Clarification might be helpful. -- Beland (talk) 05:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
