Checking against the GA criteria[edit]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Just wondering the image caption "Mark Martin led the field for one lap" - does the imagine genuinely show this?

"Edwards and car owner Jack Roush incurred the loss of 100 driver and owner points" - both driver points and owner points?
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
No original research found.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I think this is one of your best works yet, this article is excellent. It meets the criteria, so I'll pass it outright. JAGUAR 13:34, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
