[edit] Table template

Since this race has double winners annually, here is a format for the completion of the table. It is not very tricky, it only requires the <br> tag (without the periods, of course) to separate the two rows. I think the rows should be a double line rather than seperate rows for each of the two races. Since they are not stand-alone races, and the results are ultimately merged for the starting lineup, they should be depicted as "one event" each year. Doctorindy 17:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Didn't mean to write anything wrong there, the correct intention is noted. Doctorindy 16:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
    • UPDATE--- I'm currently working on the table...should be done soon Doctorindy 20:53, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
      • UPDATE--- I'm finished with the first part of the table....I wanted to get the results in the table that were actually considered points-paying Grand National events. It was in 1972 that they changed to non-points races, that fact will be added clearly into the text. The remainder of the table should be completed soon. Doctorindy 18:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
  • UPDATE--- I've created the rest of the table, but still have several cells to fill in. I have collected all of the needed information, and it's just a matter of getting it in. I want this to look nice and clean before Daytona rolls around for 2007. Doctorindy 22:01, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Information

I finished the table with all of the information I had. There are a handfull of empty cells that need to be filled in, and that information should be easily obtained. The main issue remaining is to determine the RACE NAME over the years. There is a bit of uncertianty remaining as to what the race name was over the years, and when Gatorade became the title sponsor. Research ongoing. Doctorindy 18:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
