Note that this template is to cover all American Championship car racing and IndyCar Series events a driver has competed in. The former, in the first ("Champ Car") section, comprise those sanctioned by AAA, USAC, and CART; this includes the Indianapolis 500s in 1981 and 1982, but does not include any races run under Indy Racing League sanction, including all Indianapolis 500s from 1996 onwards.

The second section includes all Indy Racing League/IndyCar-sanctioned events from 1996 to the present.

The 2008 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, run under IRL sanction but using CART equipment and rules, is a special case; for most drivers it should be counted as an IRL event in the infobox, but for some CART drivers who ran it as their only IRL race (e.g. Alex Figge) it may be more logical to place it under the Champ Car section. Use common sense.

Use as a child template

The child, embed, or subbox parameters may be used to embed this infobox into another.

This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within {{Infobox person}} (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below. For guidance on usage, see Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.

To include a URL, use {{URL}}.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

  • adr
