And why not? The review should be up soon. good888 (talk) 20:42, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section

"and seventy-five in front of Ford, who bumped Dodge to fourth place." I would add Dodge's points total as well.

Report

Perhaps you could state that the top 12 were in the Chase for the Sprint Cup in the background sub-section?

Add the top ten fastest drivers in qualifying.

Done Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"NASCAR announced that a competition caution would take place on lap 25." Reason why?

It meant the drivers would have to make pit stops Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Two laps later, Raines drove to his garage." May I ask why?

There was no explanation so I removed it Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"After pit stops, Newman claimed the top position" Change top to first.

Done Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"One lap later, Joe Nemechek drove his car to his garage." Not too sure if this is notable to be honest. I mean, he was nowhere near the leaders nor one of the 12 drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

Removed Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"as Mike Bliss drove to his garage." Likewise for this.

removed Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"while Gilliland went to his garage." Considering that Gilliland was one of the leaders, I guess this is notable. May I ask why he drove to his garage?

He retired from the race Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"while Michael McDowell and Dave Blaney drove to their garages seven laps later." Again, I don't think this is notable.

removed Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Five laps later, Sadler was given the black flag and drove to pit road." Reason why?

I have found no mention of why so I have removed it Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"I woke up (Sunday) morning very optimistic." I would add in brackets: "I woke up (on Sunday) morning very optimistic."

Done Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Going to place on hold for now. good888 (talk) 14:47, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Good888: All the points raised have been dealt with Z105space (Talk to me!) 22:31, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good job. Promoting to GA class. good888 (talk) 09:38, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
