I'll take this one, will post review as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 14:26, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Initial review

Lead[edit]

Clint Bowyer linked in both the first and second paragraphs.
he was not successful > he was unsuccessful?
"Joe Gibbs's No. 60 team increased their advantage over the No. 60 team of Jack Roush", can they both be the same number?

Background[edit]

"Roush's No. 6 teams" > team?
"There were one driver change heading into the race", were > was

Practice and qualification[edit]

"was held in the morning of August 26", should that be on the morning of...?
"With a time of 16.020 seconds", do we need to go to three decimal places if its a 0?
"T. J. Bell accidentally reversed on pit road", something missing here. "On the pit road", " in the pit road" or something else?
"who cut his head" > who also suffered a cut to his head?

Race[edit]

"He began closing the gap to Kyle Busch", no need to suddenly use his Christian name again.
"As the track tightened, On lap 125", what does the track tightened mean? Also, there's a start capital letter here.
"By the 239th lap, Busch increased his", should this be had increased his lead given its starting in past tense?

A few points from an initial run through but nothing major. Placed on hold for now. Kosack (talk) 07:14, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
