Article of the month – Auto Club Speedway, a recent good article
Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway) is a two-mile (3 km), low-banked, D-shaped oval superspeedway in Fontana, California which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1997. The track was also used for open wheel racing events until 2005. The racetrack is located near the former locations of Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The track is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation and is the only track owned by ISC to have naming rights sold. The speedway is served by the nearby Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 freeways as well as a Metrolink station located behind the backstretch.Construction of the track, on the site of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, began in 1995 and was completed in late 1996. The speedway has a grandstand capacity of 91,200 and 28 skyboxes. In 2006, a fanzone was added behind the main grandstand. Lights were added to the speedway in 2004 with the addition of a second annual NASCAR weekend. In 2011 the track will host only one NASCAR weekend.

Thank you VERY much!
I readily admit to being a "Merry Christmas" kind of guy. I have some rather strong opinions regarding political correctness, by the way. :) Advertisers who wish "happy holidays" make me nauseous. Thank you very, very much for the nice note and a merry Christmas to you and yours. PMDrive1061 (talk) 04:41, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

From what I can tell, you just sent everyone copyvios. Either my screen is too small, or I did not find any attribution or link to the file page for the image used, which is not in the public domain. GFDL requires a copy of the license with the item, and CCBYSA requires attribution. Please tell me if there was actually attribution for the image (I could not find any link, but I'm using a 1024x768 atm and my talk page shows up weird). Thanks, /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 13:50, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I thought the link was there on the image but something in the code must have removed it. If you want me to I can go back and add the link to all the messages. Sumsum2010·T·C 20:35, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- It's not whether I want to or not, it's whether these copyvios matter enough for you to go back and fix them. AWB might work well :) /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 21:19, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, they matter enough, I'll fix them. Sumsum2010·T·C 22:53, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2010 Sylvania 300, a recent Good Article
The 2010 Sylvania 300 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 19, 2010, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. The 300 lap race was the twenty-seventh in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the first race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. Clint Bowyer, of the Richard Childress Racing team, won the race, with Denny Hamlin finishing second, and Jamie McMurray third. Pole position driver Brad Keselowski maintained his lead in the first lap, but in the second lap Tony Stewart pulled ahead. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, and Hamlin were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Hamlin was the only one to recover and finish in the top five. With two laps remaining, Tony Stewart was leading the race when he ran out of fuel, giving the lead to Bowyer, who also led the most laps in the race with 176. There were eight cautions and twenty-three lead changes among eight different drivers during the race. The race was Clint Bowyer's first win in the 2010 season, and the third of his career. The result advanced Bowyer to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Hamlin and ten ahead of Kevin Harvick, but because of a penalty three days after the race, he fell to twelfth in the standings. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-two points ahead of Toyota and seventy-four ahead of Ford, with nine races remaining in the season. A total of 95,000 people attended the race, while 3.68 million watched it on television.
