  •   Hi Michael Barera (talk), review follows: article moved to mainspace 19 March and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources, citations to the museum's own web site are limited to non-controversial facts; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing and Earwig is happy; I struck ALT2 as I just didn't find it interesting (why 2004?); ALT0 and ALT1 are fine, mentioned in the article and check out to source cited; a QPQ has been carried out; photo is nominator's own work and appropriately licensed. Looks good to go. I had one query, but not going to hold approval over it: Is "shop" widely recognised as a term for "workshop" in NASCAR racing? It confused me at first as I thought it was a literal shop (ie. a store) operated by the team. Worth considering a change to "workshop" in the hook and article to better internationalise it? - Dumelow (talk) 07:22, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Michael Barera ALT0 one issue, I see this in MotorTrend Over half of those cars have Dale Earnhardt's name lettered over the driver's door. The article does not say that DE actually drove the cars as our hook claims. Some may have been backup cars etc. Bruxton (talk) 15:29, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
