2012 Budweiser Shootout

 * Nominator(s): Z105space (Talk to me!) 07:11, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

This article is about the 2012 Budweiser Shootout, one of two expedition races of the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, won by Kyle Busch. I believe that this article has met all the FA criteria and any feedback on this subject is most welcome. Z105space (Talk to me!) 07:11, 8 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Z105space, am I right in assuming this is your first FAC? If so, welcome on behalf of the coordinators!  Just a procedural note, your article's Peer Review should be closed now that you've nominated here, per guidelines. Pls take care of that ASAP, and feel free to ask for assistance if any difficulty. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:27, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Support - After giving this article a peer review, I believe it is up to the standards of my current FA and (hopefully) future FA. Of course, there are no post-race standings as this is an exhibition race, but the article is complete in all other regards. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:13, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - Well I promoted this to good article class and since the peer review fixed the remaining issues in this article, I have no reason to oppose. good888 (talk) 18:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Closing comment -- sorry but despite the early support, this review has been dormant for well over a month, despite being listed for almost two weeks at WT:FAC as requiring attention. 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).
