Due to qualifying being rained out on July 5, it was held the following day, but was delayed for 3 hours, 12 minutes due to rain The source does not back up that prose, nor does the prose flow well.All hooks are backed up by the sources. Once that issue is corrected, I see no objections to this DYK. Hasteur (talk) 15:11, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Personal preference is for ALT2 hook as it's interesting enough for people to want to know more. Hasteur (talk) 15:13, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Attempted to reword it. The source stated, "The rain that washed out Thursday's pole qualifying", and later, "When rain returned during pole qualifying on Friday", but if a source is needed for the Thursday date of July 5, it's been provided.
