Do we need another list of winners when many of these articles about races taking place there have their own list or is part of it, thus making this completely unnecessary. Many others are not necessary to the most ardent fans such as feeder series. Unnecessary WP:FANCRUFT list that is only good for the most obsessive motorsport fans, also WP:LC and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Also, not notable enough to pass WP:LISTN. SpacedFarmer (talk) 13:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unnecessary and redundant list of results of races at one track across many different motorsport series. Much of the information is already present in series-specific lists such as List of Indianapolis 500 winners and Brickyard_400#Past_winners. Combining this information in a massive list violates WP:NOTDB. Carson Wentz (talk) 14:47, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; while there are problems, this article also includes important history and context about the very early years of the Speedway. RegalZ8790 (talk) 14:51, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep But Reorganize: The article is important and informative, however, there is way too much redundancy. The original intent was to summarize results of races at IMS that did not have individual articles. However, that information was added later, and along with other (some non-professional events) it became bloated and too large. Recommend KEEP, but remove all sections that already have an individual article (Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400, IROC at Indy, Freedom 100, etc., etc.) Those events can be handled with a simple Wikilink to that article. Also, trim the article by moving some sections to more appropriate existing articles (for instance, the SVRA results can be moved to the Indy Legends Charity Pro–Am race...the event with which it is/was associated) ...(all the motorcycle results can go to Indianapolis motorcycle Grand Prix)...brining the article back to its original intent.

Keep per doctorindy •Cyberwolf•talk? 15:56, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
doctorindy All in honesty, I was reluctant to list this in as I had thought the same with the early races though they are also listed in the AAA Championship seasons. I cannot see how the listing of support races (of post-2001) are this necessary. SpacedFarmer (talk) 14:31, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, with the changes suggested by Doctorindy. Indyguy (talk) 17:06, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with a severe trim, per Doctorindy. Certainly things like lists of the notable early races should stay, but individual vintage races (by which I mean modern races for old vehicles) certainly not. A7V2 (talk) 10:13, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
