Peer review at GA level by User:Royalbroil
I'm very surprised to see the article nominated for Good Article. I thought that we had agreed that I'd let you know when you're ready to nominate it. Fortunately GA review usually takes 6 weeks so you should have plenty of time to rectify anything.

Overall, it's very well done and it's Good Article nomination was done at the appropriate time! With these minor changes it should have a great shot of passing as a Good Article. Someone else needs to do the official GA review, probably in a month or two.  Royal broil  13:31, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

 * ✅ The source is the same for all. -- Nascar 1996  00:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Is 4TROOPS a military band? - which military branch and if possibly their significance (significance, if you're able to find, would be helpful and make the section more interesting)
 * ✅ Its a military band. -- Nascar 1996  23:17, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * unsourced - Steve Austin gave the command "Gentlemen, start your engines!".
 * ✅-- Nascar 1996  00:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Who is Steve Austin and why did he get to be the starter? - Is this Stone Cold Steve Austin? If not him, then is there a reason why he's mentioned (maybe a winning fan or a rep from a NASCAR sponsor?

 * unsourced - Terry Cook moved the back of the field
 * ✅-- Nascar 1996  00:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * reword - "came in to pit" is racing slang and too informal - I understand but only NASCAR fans will get it
 * ✅ but it needs to be reviewed. -- Nascar 1996  14:25, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * (optional) lap thirty-six - I usually see 2 digit numbers as digits (which I prefer), but per WP:ORDINAL you can spell them out. No need to do this one if you don't want. At least be consistent with lap 99.
 * ✅-- Nascar 1996  14:14, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Too informal - Most drivers pit
 * ✅ needs review -- Nascar 1996  14:29, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * With the heaviest rain approaching the track from the west, NASCAR decided to keep the cars on the track to help dry it - to dry it out or to keep it dry (or both)?
 * ✅ The sentence was incorrect with few rain drops at the tract NASCAR decided to kep the cars on track to insure it stays dry. -- Nascar 1996  14:27, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * too many thoughts in one sentence (3 or 4 thoughts) (Run-on sentence), please break into 2 sentences - On lap 158, Jimmie Johnson attempted to get the lead but Biffle would remain the leader until lap 191 when Juan Pablo Montoya took the lead for four laps before Biffle retook it.

 * need a source that says - "Busch and Johnson, the two dominant drivers"
 * ✅ removed sentence-- Nascar 1996  14:44, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There's a lot of passive tense in the race section using the form "At/By/On lap XXX" - I tried the vary the form but it needs some more. This had been the biggest problem in the article before copyediting but it has gotten a LOT better. You can tell it was written by the same person at the same time. This is why I usually take a look at an article many different times - to get a varied mindset which produces varied sentence structure.
 * Who were the points leaders after the race and what was the next race on the schedule? After the season is done, the question will be - how did the race contribute toward the season points? (if significant)
 * ✅ I put it in infobox-- Nascar 1996  14:52, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Statribune - typo, please add link to Star Tribune

 * How is Motorsports Fanhouse a reliable? Is this a fan website, not a major newspaper?
 * ✅I removed the old reference to replace it with this. -- Nascar 1996  13:56, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Please link to Yahoo! Sports, Fox Sports (USA) (use the piped link feature - and only need to do the first time in the references section), New York Times, AutoWeek, Miami Herald, and Sports Illustrated.

 * No reason to put "In English" - it exists for other languages and is assumed
 * ✅ I removed the addition. -- Nascar 1996  00:33, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Categories:
 * Why isn't this in Category:2010 in NASCAR along with the rest of the races?
 * ✅  N ERDY S CIENCE D UDE  (✉ message • changes) 13:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Should not be in Category:NASCAR since it's in children categories per WP:SUBCAT
 * ✅  N ERDY S CIENCE D UDE  (✉ message • changes) 13:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Should not be in - it's not a division of Fox Sports and it's too tangentially related.
