Lead section

• Just wondering why there is a source in the lead?

•  Removed --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Report

• "The races at Homestead and at the International Speedway Corporation tracks were removed from the schedule following the 2010 season." Link the 2010 season.

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

• "Franchitti was eighteen points ahead of Power, retaking the championship points lead from him with a second-place finish at Kentucky Speedway two weeks previously." Possible you could link that race?

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

• "The race's honorary grand marshal was skateboarder Tony Hawk, who gave the command to start engines." Isn't it "to start the engines" or am I mistaken?

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

• "Tony Kanaan, driving the #82 GEICO Dallara for KV Racing Technology" Link Dallara.

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

• Add an image of Tony Kanaan, noting that he qualified on pole.

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

• Remove the qualifying and the scoring when abandoned tables in this section. Read below for the reason why.

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

• Can you add the details of the laps before the crash?

• Honestly, it was as simple as three-wide racing all throughout the field, nothing truly notable happened first as the crash took place so early in the race. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 20:45, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Reactions

• "At the time of his death, Wheldon had been working with IndyCar officials to develop the ICONIC chassis, with the intention of improving safety in the sport." I would perfer you put the citation at the end of the sentence rather than right in the middle. You don't have to do this however.

• "On December 9, 2011, IndyCar decided that they were not going to return to Las Vegas for the 2012 season." Link the 2012 season.

Classification

• I think a classification section is needed here. Add the qualifying and race results in this section.

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Standings after the race

• I think this section is needed too. Add the championship standings here. Yes, I know that no points were awarded due to the tragic accident but I think readers will still want to know the standings.

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 00:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

• Add an image of Franchitti, noting that he won the championship.

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 00:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

References

• Ref 9 is broken for me.

•  Done --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 00:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Going to place on hold for now. good888 (talk) 13:52, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, @Good888:, for the reviews of so many motorsports articles. Your reviews are much appreciated. I'll be quite busy tonight and I'm uncertain I'll be able to edit much at all (I have two exams tomorrow and real life comes first for me, of course), but I'll fix these as soon as I can. Regarding Ref 9, I have searched for an archived copy and cannot find one anywhere, which is why the Racing-Reference one is included. Would you like me to remove the ref entirely or tag it with ? Thanks, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 20:45, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

@Bentvfan54321: No problem. As for the dead link, try finding another reliable source. If not, you might as well tag it with . good888 (talk) 09:52, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

@Good888: I believe all issues have been resolved. Thanks again! --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 00:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

@Bentvfan54321: I just found one more issue. I think the qualifying section could be expanded a bit. Perhaps you note the drivers that qualified in the top ten? Once that is done I will promote this article to GA class. good888 (talk) 10:03, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

@Good888: Done. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 14:56, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Yeah that's fine now. Promoting to GA class. good888 (talk) 15:51, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
