Shortening nascar race article names?

Hi everyone, I've been thinking we should probably shorten the race article names with the default name (ex. NASCAR Cup Series at Michigan or NASCAR Cup Series at Pocono) instead of the full track name. I know it sounds stupid but since we have this on Loudon's and The Glen pages, why not? (TD:LR: removing the "motor speedway (or whatever "-way" it has) and just having the city name) 45BearsFan (talk) 18:45, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Title genericization help

What we do with the genericization of the title of what is currently called ITT Industries & Goulds Pumps Salute to the Troops 250? Every option that I come up seem to be problematic:

"NASCAR Busch Series at Pikes Peak" could lead to impression it was at Pikes Peak Hill Climb
"NASCAR Busch Series at Pikes Peak International Raceway" is longer than the current title
"NASCAR Busch Series at PPIR" is unprecedented, for now; genericized titles don't use abberivations

I don't mind that it's longer as long as the title is stable and recognizable. I would support B, NASCAR Busch Series at Pikes Peak International Raceway. We should avoid abbreviated track names as it would be confusing for the average (non-fan) reader. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 18:33, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Track infoboxes redos

I redid some of the tracks' infoboxes (mostly removing the spaces between the word and the = sign). I was wondering about the event sections and if it's okay to format them like that, or do I need to revert back to the br style?

Renaming JTG Daugherty Racing to Hyak Motorsports?

I am wondering whether we should rename JTG Daugherty Racing to Hyak Motorsports anyways? We are getting closer to the new season, and I feel we shouldn't delay this as it might confuse readers. Any thoughts about this? MysticCipher87(alt-account) (talk) 19:42, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
