::'''Comment''': After further consideration, it made more sense to make [[U.S. 500]] a disambiguation page, With hatnotes on both [[1996 U.S. 500]] and [[Michigan 500]].

| ==Goodyear tire box== | |
| There are several Tire manufacturer box templates (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Tire_manufacturer_templates CATEGORY]), for use in race box scores, etc. For Indy 500 and Indy car race box scores, largely it's Firestone and Goodyear that are used. Here are those two: | |
| {{Firestone}} | |
| {{Goodyear}} | |
| Firestone seems fine, as the colors match the company's red & white color scheme. But is there a reason why Goodyear is depicted as white on gold? I could not find discussion from when it was made. Whether it was created for a reason, or made in error. For years, Goodyear has utilized a yellow on blue logo. For a time there was a white/blue variation, as well as a black/silver variation. But the white/gold seems out of place. I can't find a company logo of white/gold as depicted. I suggest creating a yellow/blue variation, at least for use in U.S.-based Indy 500 and IndyCar articles. Noting that changing the original would probably be a bad idea because it would sweep through countless articles (F1, etc.) | |
| Suggestion here: | |
| '''[[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|<span style="padding:1px 3px; color:yellow; background-color:blue;">G</span>]]''' | |
| A yellow/blue box would match also the existing "tire participation charts" used on many Indy 500 race articles | |
