Hi, I am reviewing this article and have made some copy edits, mostly to try to make the article more accessible to those who may not be familiar with the sport. Please feel free to revert any mistakes I have made. Also, I tried to make the language more formal (encyclopedic) and less casual. I tried to wikilink to articles that may explain racing terms. If you can think of any ways of adding information to explain crashes, explosions, deflating tires, hitting the wall etc., please to so. Otherwise the article seems fine and the images, references and structure all check out. Xtzou (Talk) 20:04, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

If you are talking how they were caused, in which thats what I think your talking about, is not available for publicity. Also some of it will be like an opinion that can be protested. --Nascar1996 23:13, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, even what the terminology means. Like another person may not know what the "wall" is. I wikilinked the meaning of the different colored flags, which was helpful. Are there other racing terms that can be linked to? Xtzou (Talk) 23:52, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I found a wikilink for the walls of the race track, or a SAFER Barrier. --Nascar1996 00:07, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

• What is the "NASCAR hauler"?

• I couldn't find a wikilink, would you like me eto remove it? --Nascar1996 19:21, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

• ". Keselowski flew up in the air, flipped over and smacked the wall, roof first, reminiscent of when Keselowski hit Edwards in the 2009 Aaron's 499." Is there a reference for this, or is it an editor's observation (original research)?

• The reference is #11 or the Keselowski Goes Airborne one. I am sure this will work it is a video and shows you what happened. --Nascar1996 19:13, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

• But who compares it to Keselowski hit Edwards in the 2009 Aaron's 499? Someone has to do the comparison that you can reference, or it is OR. As far as the "NASCAR hauler", can you describe what its purpose it? Is it to haul the car away?

• The two wrecks were very similair by just looking at them, but that is not my contribution to the article. As for the NASCAR hauler, each series has there own trailer, like a RV in ways, which are used to discuss situations with some of the drivers, etc. Also, I am removing that sentence. --Nascar1996 19:43, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
