I have to add though that you're adding way too much detail to the Eddie Cheever article. To the best of my knowledge no other racing driver article on Wikipedia has anything like that amount of detail, and among the other things that Wikipedia is not, it's not a collection of stats: "Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles. In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader." Remember that Wikipedia is a general purpose encyclopedia, not a motor racing stat site. Have a look at some of our featured driver articles like Damon Hill, Alain Prost, Tom Pryce and Rudolf Caracciola for a more normal level of detail. Hope you enjoy editing here.
