 * I accidentally saved before writing in the alt hooks, which are:

 * ALT1: ... that Buddy Parrott served as crew chief for Richard Petty's 200th win in the 1984 Firecracker 400?
 * ALT2: ... that Buddy Parrott served as crew chief for eventual race winner Derrike Cope in the 1990 Daytona 500?
 * ALT3: ... that with Buddy Parrott as crew chief, Darrell Waltrip won three Winston Cup championships?


 * Symbol question.svg Length, date, and compliance with policies are in order. However, paragraph 1 "Parrott's career began in 1968..." is lacking any references.  Also, that Parrott's kids are in the business is unsourced.  Fix those two minor issues and we should be good to go. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:34, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, the ref for his career's beginning was already in the page (this), but a later edit separated the paragraph regarding the start of his career with another, the latter providing the ref. I don't think we need to cite Todd being in the business, since it can be obvious if one were to extensively follow Dale Jarrett, but since Brad doesn't have a page, I provided the IRN ref.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. We are good to go then.  My preference is ALT1, which I verified from the inline citation. --ThaddeusB (talk) 05:45, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
