Talk:2007 IndyCar Series

message: I started the team/driver chart. I based it off of the one over at the Champ Car season page. I added a column for "Sponsor" and a column for "Notes," as every year there are always "Indy-only" entries, and they should be in the table, but noted as not a full-season entry. The chart has a lot more teams and drivers to add, and has some holes here and there for numbers, sponsors, etc. But I got it started. Just everyone make sure that the color rotates from team to team. Doctorindy 15:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

message: No objection to the listing of Foyt's second car as #41, but Foyt also has entered cars nearly every year at Indy with #48 and #84, and #1 (when allowed) as well. In 2006, the second car was #41, so it does seem that it would be the most likely. Doctorindy 22:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I took a stab at expanding the race summaries section, and I based it loosely on the National Football League playoffs, 2006-07#Wild Card playoffs individual game summaries. I based the race results top ten box on this page- 2006 Toyota Indy 300 with a few minor tweaks/corrections. I should be a nice improvement over the "text only" listings from previous years. Also, once the first one is set, the rest should be a rather simple cut & paste exercise. Doctorindy 15:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: According to this news link...http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/news/story?series=1&id=2754820
*IRL marketing officials are trying to phase out the "Indy Racing League" name because it has little recognition in the general public -- and negative connotations to many longtime American open-wheel racing fans. 
Which makes sense for this article. There is a lot of mixing back and forth here between the terms "IndyCar Series," "IRL", etc. I think we should try to utilize the term IndyCar Series throughout. Doctorindy 14:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Besides on this article, has anyone seen anything on ESPN.com, IndyCar.com, etc. about Cahill racing? I have been looking for Milka Duno's name to pop up on the driver list on IndyCar.com, but that website has not made one notion that Cahill racing is returning from what I have seen. There is no reference or citation after the statement on this article, so I'm just trying to figure out if Cahill racing is coming back. Manningmbd 20:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The main source that has published info on Cahill's return is the Indianapolis Star. However, it appears that various deals have fallen through and if we see Cahill at all this year, it will likely be an Indy-only deal. Duno is currently shopping her money to other teams for an Indy 500+Road courses deal. -Drdisque 06:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Right now, you can't count on anything from ESPN.com. They have not even updated the confirmed driver information. For example, Patrick and Rice are still listed as driving for RLR. Also, I'm not sure about the asertion that Michael Andretti will be driving in the Indy 500. I do remember reading about how much he enjoyed competing with Marco. And I know that there was an article about it on ESPN. However, I don't think he confirmed anything. The source for the information leads to aa dead link. I'm considering removing it per Wikipedia is not a cryatal ball, but I'll leave it in for now. I'll try to find the link if possible. --Cyrus Andiron  t/c 16:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The official entry list (*.pdf) has been released for the Homestead race, and I have added an outside link to it to the itemized list of race information.

message: Since this weekend is the start of the season, I've noticed a small bit of increased IRL vandalism going around. Best to keep watch on the IRL-related pages, especially the main page Indy Racing League and this one. Doctorindy 13:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: *In previous years, we've had the entire points standings, not just the top 5...so I think that should be addressed. I started the chart with only the "top 5," but that was mainly just to pre-write the chart, it was not intended to force it to be top 5 only. Also, the colors are good, they could/should be added to the race finishing boxes when we get a chance.
*We're getting a 31KB message (not yet a size warning), but we should be OK, because data from the references I think is exempt from counting, and the message is only a guideline. Meanwhile, I'm going to re-read some of the lines, and see if some of the info is outdated. Doctorindy 15:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Creating a list here of the apparent "TV presenting names" sponsors, as they are different from some of the actual race names...
*Ethanol IndyCar 300 Presented by XM at Miami
*Firestone IndyCar 300 at Japan
*Kansas IndyCar 300
*Papa John's IndyCar 550K at Texas (the name was not used)
*Honda IndyCar 200 at Mid-Ohio
*Firestone IndyCar 400 at Michigan
These are not necessarily the official names of the events, only what they are called on television...as ESPN/ABC has offered presenting names sponsorship. More to be announced later it seems. Doctorindy 18:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
