2007 Coca-Cola 600

  • ALT1:... that the 2007 Coca-Cola 600 was the first time since 1991 that someone with the surname Mears won in auto racing?

Improved to Good Article status by Z105space (talk). Self-nominated at 14:49, 14 January 2016 (UTC).

  • Nominated early enough after GA promotion. Earwig's tool detected possible copyvios, but I checked them and it seems not problematic (just because of direct quotation and racers' names). One suggestion, though, I think both hooks you proposed are quite "weak" and uninteresting (why is first top-five finish interesting?). A possible alternative: it seems that it is Casey Mears's first and only win, can we highlight that instead? HaEr48 (talk) 04:17, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks, I think this is good to go now. The article is certainly long enough, well-written and sourced enough (it recently passed GA, so..). I also note that you have <5 DYK credit, so you're exempt from QPQ. HaEr48 (talk) 16:01, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
