[edit] First Pole

Can somebody date her pole at Kansas Speedway, making her first woman with an IRL pole? Trekphiler 18:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

actually it was 21 August 2002 Kentucky won by Felipe Giaffone the MBNA Pole for the Belterra Casino Indy 300 at Kentucky Speedway. Led the first 26 laps and finished eighth Kevinalewis 09:04, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Danica References & Comparisons

Does this article need to have the references to Patrick's finishes in comparison to Fisher's? This seems a bit overkill to me, especially the bit about "arch-rivals" --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 06:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree completely. I've toned down the pov language you refer to and I've removed the comparison section. Danica's article doesn't have a similar section. Enough of the "YFDS" syndrome! --Mycroft.Holmes 14:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I've tweaked the article again after someone just blindly removed recent edits. I've removed the "arch rival" reference in the 2007 results. The "arch rivalry" is a media creation, anyway. Against my better judgement, I've left the entire Danica & Sarah comparison section intact. I think it should be removed. Comments?--Mycroft.Holmes 16:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that the section works very well. If someone feel ambitious, I would recommend that it be removed and someone could write History of American female open wheel racecar drivers or something similar. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 18:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I say that so long as there are verifiable news references to comparisons, rivalries are interesting and worthwhile to keep in these types of articles. After all, other articles will reference rivalries between Trump and Rosie, Bill and Keith, etc.; why not in sports? Again, keep if it is "true", because these kinds of things do help to make articles more interesting than they sometimes are when they're just statistics. Also, I agree with Midnight that someone should also create a History of American female open wheel racecar drivers article. Mycroft, since you seem to be edit-warring or something lately, maybe this would be a good and more constructive task for you? Cheerio!--24.154.173.243 23:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

24.154.173.243, this is not the place for Personal Attacks on other editors. Please use this space to discuss the article, not the actions of other editors. If you believe that another editor has acted inappropriately, please discuss it on their talk page or an appropriate noticeboard. I am posting this here rather than on User talk:24.154.173.243 only because I do not know if you have a static or dynamic address. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 01:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm only reacting to what Mycroft wrote above about the whole "blindly removed" comment. I whole heartedly agree that personal attacks do not belong here and was just baffled to see another comment like that here that seems to assume that people doing edits that user doesn't agree with are somehow "blindly" motivated or something. And yes, others do use this IP as it's not my own personal one, so you were right to say that here as it would probably throw of other users! Best, --24.154.173.243 03:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

First, she was the third driver in the IRL, fourth for the 500. So I corrected that.

Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, reports facts, not Truth: therefore, if the media have billed Danica vs. Sarah as an ARCH-RIVALRY, fine: the MEDIA has billed it as that, and such should be noted. Both drivers' personal positions on the other, namely them not looking at it that way, should ALSO be noted, if any quotes are available. --Chr.K. 02:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Italian link

I just removed the link to Italian Sarah's page, cause it redirected to a character of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, daughter of Sam Fisher. It seems that it.wikipedia.org doesn't contain Sarah Fisher (driver) page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.104.178.75 (talk) 18:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
