'''WikiProject American Open Wheel Racing''' is a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|project]] to better organize information in articles related to [[Open wheel car|Open Wheel Racing]] based in the United States, with an emphasis on the [[Indy Racing League]], [[Champ Car]], and [[American Championship Car Racing|Indy/Championship racing]] under the [[AAA Contest Board|AAA]] and [[United States Auto Club|USAC]] banner dating to approximately 1902, the first year of AAA sanctioning. Primary topics include races, tracks, drivers and the specific cars entered to compete. Other open wheel topics, such as support series ([[Indy Pro Series]], [[Indy Lights]], [[Champ Car Atlantic Championship|Atlantics]]), [[sprint cars]] (URC, USAC and [[World of Outlaws|WoO]]-sanctioned), and other similar forms are also welcome. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please browse and improve the articles as you see fit. Open discussion on such edits is welcome and desired. This project, like everything else on the Wikipedia, is what everyone makes of it. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject American Open Wheel Racing/To-do|To-do list]] keeps track of what the projects current short term objectives are.

==Goals==
*Create standards of quality for Open wheel-related articles, consistent with Wikipedia's broader standards for biographical articles and sporting event articles, and consistent with Wikipedia's overall standards of [[WP:Verifiability]], [[WP:NPOV]], and so forth.
*Create and standardize articles for Open wheel drivers, teams, tracks and series
*Better organize all Open wheel-related articles
*Expand upon existing Open wheel-related articles
*Create a working relationship between members who concentrate primarily on [[Indy Racing League|IRL]] and those  with members who concentrate primarily on the [[Champ Car|CART/Champ Car]]. Establish an atmosphere of equality in information reporting, and establish a firm stance on [[WP:NPOV]].
*Define areas requiring attention of above mentioned goals.

==Organization==
* List of {{subpages}}

==Standards==
*'''Individual Race Page Titles''' For simplicity reasons, the page titles have been established/adjusted to include only the primary title sponsor, and not any additional/optional "presenting sponsors." The presenting sponsor(s) is still mentioned prominently on the individual page, but due to the overly long titles, they do not seem necessary to include for the title. Television presenting sponsor also are not to be included as part of the page title, but should be mentioned on the page text/info box, etc.
*'''Individual Race Pages''' For all current IRL Indycar races. Following in a similar fashion to the series of current NASCAR races format, various details include:
**Each race has its own page, titled as the current name of the race
**Each race has an infobox [[Template:Indycar race infobox]] with various information:
**Race logo (uploaded and labeled according to wiki standards
**Track, sponsor, previous race names, distance
**Notations of first open wheel race and first IRL specific race
**Race results in table form, as has been established on wiki already. Since many races extend previous to the formation of the IRL, or stem from what was at one time a Champ Car race (either AAA, USAC or CART), the tables are listed in separate but sequential order.
**Additional race results for related events can also be included in the race pages. This includes previous races, or previous versions of the same race (or different races) that have a reasonable tie (such as the city) to the current event.
***Examples include listing race winners for Tamiami Park Miami with the Homestead event, since both have Miami in common.
**Next/previous race box at the bottom [[Template:Sequence]]
