Query[edit]

I'm pondering adding a table to the page noting the road course ringers and the drivers they replaced, would that be useful? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 16:57, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For the 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 I added the information in the background section. -- Nascar1996^{(Talk • Contribs)} 17:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How many roadcourse ringers will be in the race? I only know of two, Boris Said and Tomy Drissi... -- Nascar1996^{(Talk • Contribs)} 18:28, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By my count, it's 5: Drissi in the No. 10, Chris Cook in the No. 19, Brian Simo in the No. 30, The Saidhead in the No. 32, and David Mayhew in the No. 98... - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:39, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added it, please copy edit it if needed. Thanks! -- Nascar1996^{(Talk • Contribs)} 21:41, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of table, what about adding Vegas Odds to the table of drivers who qualify for the race? My preference would be Vegas Insider.--Daytona 500 18:17, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Odds? Like predictions and everything for the race? Umm, I don't think so. It is just speculation. -- Nascar1996^{(Talk • Contribs)} 18:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As in betting favorites. Vegas Insider has Jeff Gordon as 8/1 to win.--Daytona 500 21:10, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't think so. It is just speculation. -- Nascar1996^{(Talk • Contribs)} 21:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Drivers going to the rear of the field[edit]

David Gilliland missed the Drivers Meeting and has to start from the back. What's the way we usually make note of it on the table?--Daytona 500 17:14, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I usually just add something in the race summary, but I guess you could do something like this. Please try to find a reliable source. Thanks! -- Nascar1996^{(Talk • Contribs)} 17:50, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Will a tweet from Bob Pockrass suffice?--Daytona 500 18:07, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No... NASCAR.com may have it in their lap-by-lap... We'll see. Go ahead and add it, and I'll find a source later. -- Nascar1996^{(Talk • Contribs)} 18:19, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Steven Leight also "went to the rear of the field" (in quotes since he was kinda already there...) due to an engine change. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:29, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
