The 2006 Bank of America was the 31st stock car race of the 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series and marked the half-way point in that year's Chase for the Nextel Cup. The event was won by Evernham Motorsports driver Kasey Kahne who started from second position. All teams who took part in the race were mandated by NASCAR to use a 13.8 gallon fuel cell, and a new right-hand tire compound was introduced in an effort to produce better racing. However, drivers reported they drove cautiously, and were unable to achieve a normal driving rhythm. This article passed its GA review in April and underwent a copy-edit from the GOCE in June. I am also going for the Four Award achievement. All comments are welcome. MWright96 (talk) 16:53, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Closing comment -- sorry but this nom seems to be a non-starter; as there's been no commentary at all, feel free to re-nominate without waiting the usual two weeks following the archive, getting it to the top of the FAC list again may generate fresh interest.
