[edit] Use of first name

I removed all of the references to his first name only. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies), this is discouraged because "The use of the first name gives the impression that the writer knows the subject personally, which, even if true, is not relevant.". Also, in my opinion, it makes the article read like a People Magazine fluf-piece. --rogerd 03:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] citations always needed?

Citations needed for common knowledge, including all finishing orders for Indy 500? Some of the citation requests I can understand, but other open-wheel (and other) auto racing stubs don't require this sort of citation. Twohlford (talk) 02:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
