Initial comments

"It was Mears' first and (as of 2016) the only win the Nextel Cup Series (today the Sprint Cup Series)" - might be better as It was Mears' first and (as of 2016) the only win of the Nextel Cup Series, now known as the Sprint Cup Series or something similar
- Reworded
"Starting at the Coca-Cola 600, 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion Bill Elliott" - vague, are we still talking about the 2007 race?
- Yes we are. This suggestion has been taken in.
"The third caution was prompted on the same lap when Tony Raines got loose and slid sideways" - what does this mean?
- It means Raines lost control of his car.
"During the caution, All of the race leaders made pit stops" - lowercase
- Done
"slowed on track, and spun at turn four while driving gingerly to pit road" - a tad informal. How about cautiously?
- Done

Those were all of the (minor) prose issues I could bring up, but overall a comprehensive article. Once they're all clarified this can become a GA! JAGUAR 23:48, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
