Jeff Davis (racing driver)

 * ... that when Jeff Davis ran a NASCAR race for Melling Racing, he used his own car as Melling could not afford to field their own? Source: Melling Racing substitute far behind Sonoma pole-sitter Martin
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Alfonse Pogrom
 * Comment: While the hook sounds interesting to me, I think it can be worded a little better than what I could do. Suggestions appreciated.

 * Symbol question.svg Newly created article, long enough, well sourced, neutrally written. Regarding the hook, the article says Davis used his own car and says Melling had sponsorship issues, but doesn't say Melling couldn't afford their own car, so please clarify that in the text. And provide QPQ. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:35, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * QPQ provided. As for the hook, after re-reading the source a few times, looks like Melling not being able to afford to field the car was an error on my part. As such, how about one of these alts? Zappa⚡Matic 22:00, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that when Jeff Davis ran a NASCAR race for Melling Racing, he used his own car rather than Melling's main equipment as the team was skipping the race due to sponsorship issues?
 * ALT2: ... that due to sponsorship issues, NASCAR team Melling Racing hired Jeff Davis to run a race for the team using his own car?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 and ALT2 approved. ALT0 striken. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:01, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
