The article is new enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. I found no close paraphasing, and a QPQ has been done. Both hooks are cited inline and verified, but I think only the first really works as a hook. Unless it was deliberately not included for click purposes, I would suggest mentioning Earnhardt Jr. by his full name and occupation, as I'm not sure if non-American readers would recognize them. As someone who's followed motorsport myself, I recognize Dale and think the first hook is pretty interesting, but I'm not sure if general readers would feel the same with the current wording.

@Narutolovehinata5: Not a problem for me, went with "Dale Jr." to be consistent (since the podcast isn't named "The Dale Earnhardt Jr. Download") but if Earnhardt would make it more clear to a general audience, that works for me. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 21:32, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks; I've made a slight change to the hook to mention NASCAR, just in case. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 22:54, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

I think we should be good to go here. Upon further thought, I think the original version would work as a quirky slot hook, so I've restored it while leaving the revised version as ALT0a. Both ALT0 and ALT0a are now approved, with the decision on what to use being left to the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:29, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
