Reviewer: Derild 49 21 ☼ 01:32, 18 August 2010 (UTC) Hello, this is my first GA review so please remind me if I do anything wrong. Thanks![reply]

Ok, looking at the page now, it passes the quick-fail criteria and I will now conduct a full review. Derild 49 21 ☼ 01:53, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In depth review

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):

Only saw a typo NSD fixed

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

Free of OR, still checking rest

Conditions were clear with a high of 88 °F (31 °C), making the track potentially slippery.[14] Where in ref 14 does it say the track would become potentially slippery. Minor issue, but I don't get the concept and I also couldn't find it in the reference. Besides this it's fine.

(edit conflict)

Removed since it isn't stated by the source. ~NSD (✉ • ✐) 13:20, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, according to this, ref 2 is dead. Any alternative?

Didn't show up now. So I guess it was fixed. --Nascar 1996 ^{Contributions / Guestbook} 13:18, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) That's because I replaced it. ~NSD (✉ • ✐) 13:20, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, rest of the references look good so as soon as the lead is done I guess I can pass this. (A bit quick but I guess that's what happens with a well written article beforehand ;)) Derild 49 21 ☼ 13:31, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Looking at some of your other GA's this article is fine.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
No problem, free of POV
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
No problem, editors working together fine.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
All are free use and there are enough in the article with captions
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Ok, after going through and having fixed up the minor issues I saw this article is now a GA! Derild 49 21 ☼ 13:44, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous

The lead is a bit on the short side. Maybe add in a paragraph on the background section and practice. Derild 49 21 ☼ 13:14, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Compared to the other articles, such as 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, I will add a small race summary to the lead.--Nascar 1996 ^{Contributions / Guestbook} 13:17, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
