Background

• Use the convert template on 1.5-mile and 20 feet

Practice and qualifying

• "Kimball secured his first career pole position start with a two-lap time of 46.5861 (222.556 mph)," - first career pole position and 46.5861 seconds
• "In the post-qualifying practice session, Carpenter clocked the fastest lap," - what time/speed did Carpenter set?

Race

• "Racing was interrupted by caution for the first time on lap 37," - Caution needs to be linked to Racing flags#Yellow flag
• "The incident forced the race to be red flagged" - similarily as above, red flag will need linking to Racing flags#Red flag
• "As cars left the pits lane," - pit lane
• "During the mandatory stops, Dixon managed to get past Power, placing him in the lead, while Pagenaud, Sato, and Graham Rahal emerged behind them. During the caution, Kanaan managed to regain one of his laps." - this sentence is not cited to a reliable source
• Wikilink Firestone and NASCAR
• "pitted two laps before the mandatory stops" - made a pit stop
• "The two switched the lead several times, while behind them, Pagenaud, Sato, Rahal, and Kanaan pulled up behind them and also began challenging for the lead." - and Kanann pulled up behind the duo and also began callenging for first.
• "With so few laps left, the race was ended under caution," - the race ended under caution,
• "with Power taking his second victory of the year and his second victory at Texas Motor Speedway." - to avoid reptition, replace the second victory with win

Post-race comments

• "described it as a "bullshit" race. "Back in the days," - a comma not a period is needed between "race" and "Back"
• "However, he also maintained that he held no ill will against the speedway. "It's got nothing to do with that track," - same query as above

Results

• Tables need to be made compliant with MOS:DTT
• The notes will needed citing

• @MWright96: Sorry, would you mind being a bit more specific with the changes that need to be made to the tables? They look relatively normal to me compared to the other articles both of us have worked on. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 19:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

• • @Bcschneider53: Certainly. The first table has scope="row" whereas the second does not. So, in order to maintain consistency, that and scope=col" for the columns will need to be included in the other table. MWright96 (talk) 20:13, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

• • @MWright96: Thank you, I think(?) this has been fixed but let me know if further amendments need to be made. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:22, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

References

• Reference 24 is missing the date it was published

As ever, a neat piece of work has been done here. Placing the review on hold for the time being. MWright96 (talk) 08:58, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

@MWright96: Thank you. All is done except for the tables (see the above question). --Bcschneider53 (talk) 19:20, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

@Bcschneider53: Nothing more is needed from you here, so I can now promote to GA class. MWright96 (talk) 06:42, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
