2006 UAW-Ford 500

 * Nominator(s): Bentvfan54321 (talk) 16:36, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

After a successful run with the 2010 Sylvania 300, I present the 2006 running of the UAW-Ford 500, known today as the GEICO 500 for sponsorship reasons. I have done everything I can to bring this article up to the standards of my first FA, and have brought it through all three stages of creation (New article, DYK and GA). I am nominating this because this is the final stage and I believe it meets the criteria. As the article is still relatively new, I expect there to be some kinks that will need to be worked out, but nonetheless, I believe the article is certainly in about as good enough shape as one can expect.

Great article. Only one problem I came across.
 * All mentions of the Chase for the Sprint Cup should be renamed to the Chase for the Nextel Cup as this was a 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race. Once this has been addressed, I'm happy to support this FA nomination. Z105space (Talk to me!) 18:18, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:09, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Support - Since the concern has been met, I see no reason to oppose. Z105space (Talk to me!) 07:22, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Support - Checked again for issues, but I could not find any. Therefore, no reason to oppose. good888 (talk) 10:42, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Closing comment -- sorry but despite the early support, this review has been dormant for over a month, despite being listed for almost two weeks at WT:FAC as requiring attention. I note a former FAC delegate complained there re. prose, so perhaps a copyedit would be in order before re-nominating (after the usual two-week waiting period per FAC instructions).
