OK. I won't be a party to hijacking this thread PJ puts too much time and effort into it.I'm not asking to change anything. There are multiple definitions of the word, not just one. For example, Webster's list three definitions, one of them yours.Definition of AMERICAN
an American Indian of North America or South America; a native or inhabitant of North America or South America; a native or inhabitant of the U.S. : a U.S. citizen… See the full definitionwww.merriam-webster.com
1: an American Indian of North America or South America
2: a native or inhabitant of North America or South America
3: a native or inhabitant of the U.S. : a U.S. citizen
Based on the first definition, almost all races have been won by 'non-Americans'. Based on the second, Suarez and Villeneuve aren't non-Americans.
Dictionary.com lists the same three but in reverse order. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/american
Cambridge trots out a definition that uses the imprecise phrase 'comes from', with no mention of citizenship. But they're British, so what do they know about English? https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/american
Definitions.net gathers several, many of which use the word 'inhabitant' without tying it to citizenship. https://www.definitions.net/definition/AMERICAN
I'm not trying to convince anyone of any particular definition. I just want clarification on how @Truex_rox is using the term, before someone makes an issue of the word later.

You may be correct, with new cars this year everyone starts at the base. I should probably change my predictionWelcome to the forums.
M.J. should know by now that new teams take a while to get up to speed. The fact that they even won a race is pretty crazy. Bubba is probably safe for the next couple years.

Dear God, No!!!!!!!!Mispeedway’s long anticipated bold pick. Toyota fails to land a car in the Championship 4
very possible, look at Brad K, winningest driver in the season gone in first round.Dear God, No!!!!!!!!
Yeah, but we are talking six drivers here. Certainly possible, but a total manufacturer meltdown would be necessary I would think...but if the new car levels everything which it won't....who knows?very possible, look at Brad K, winningest driver in the season gone in first round.
This is my dark horse pick to win. Great prediction.Stewart Hass announces switch to Dodge
I have the impression most people here think he's a decent driver. It's as a spokesperson and employee where he falls short.All I know, if I’m right I should be a front runner… seeing as everyone ****s on him and says how bad he is. So if Matty D wins 3 Truck races, then well the way people act that’s bold to predict
You must not have seen all the **** people talked about his driving last season…I have the impression most people here think he's a decent driver. It's as a spokesperson and employee where he falls short.
I didn't know that was your prediction, my bad.You may be correct, with new cars this year everyone starts at the base. I should probably change my prediction
Your location says Puerto Rico, I’m going there soonI didn't know that was your prediction, my bad.
Cool! Which part of Puerto Rico are you visiting?Your location says Puerto Rico, I’m going there soon

The season will be suspended for a short time this year, but start up again.
