My POV.

My corrections made to the Iowa Speedway article that you do not want published are not biased corrections but are instead documented facts. The IRL (Indy Racing League) has not yet stated that they will sanction races at the speedway and to insinuate that they probably will demonstrates that you are not aware of the Speedway's past history of constantly dangling a carrot in front of the public, unless of course you are associated with the speedway.

The link I provided to my website of archived documents and past and present newspaper articles pertaining to the evolution of the Iowa Speedway since November of 2000 is pertinent and should be left in Wikipedia for others to click on, unless of course you are associated with the speedway and you are not proud of the past history of the speedway and you want to censor it. Here is that link: [1]

You state that the Iowa Speedway is likely to pursue future NASCAR Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series dates. That is probably true but it is a half-truth which leads the reader to believe that NASCAR has agreed to sanction races at the speedway when in fact they have not. NASCAR has stated that NASCAR does not believe at this time that it is in the best interest to sanction any of it's racing divisions at a proposed facility in this geographic location. When I posted the link to the actual NASCAR letter stating this fact which the Governor of Iowa and others received, you deleted it. Why? It is a fact, it is a part of history, it is obtainable to anyone through the freedom of information act since it is a public document and it is indisuptable. Here is that link again: [2]

It is my POV sir that you are the biased one. I suggest you take your own advice and reread [WP-NPOV] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80205JS (talk • contribs)

• For what it's worth, the Indy Racing League has officially scheduled a race for the facility in June 2007. Such information has been noted appropriately in the article. Doctorindy 18:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Needs Track Layout

The article needs a diagram of the track/viewing stand layout. --71.214.226.227 (talk) 20:21, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
