Article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSEVENT. Single reference is to a score page. WP:BEFORE only turned up short mentions within larger articles.   // Timothy :: talk  23:14, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Probably most sources for a race from 2001 would be offline. Also I would question the relevance of applying WP:SPORTSEVENT to motor races since although the link is "event", the description refers to "games". I was able to find a couple of sources writing about this race, one written just this year, [1], [2]. I unfortunately don't have time to add much to this article myself however.

• Delete/merge Per nom. Also this article has existed for a 1/2 year, and the race was 19 years ago and the text is just a statement that it existed. No sources to make a real article out of it. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:00, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the additional sources found by A7V2. WhinyTheYounger (talk) 02:02, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep book sources should be plentiful during NASCAR's heyday yet before online was popular. It needs improvement not deletion. One excellent online RS is Racing Reference. Royalbroil 02:51, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Results and reports can be added. Books, newspaper articles and the sources A7V2 has provided should suffice for notablity purposes. FozzieHey (talk) 22:56, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
