Article is new enough, long enough, adequately sourced, neutral, comprehensive, and well-written. QPQ done and verified. Hook facts cited inline and verified. However, I'm not a fan of either hook as both seem too inaccessible for non-motorsport fans. I think some variation of ALT0 could potentially work, but it needs to be reworded to make it more accessible (this talk of divisions doesn't really make much sense to those unfamiliar with NASCAR).

- ALT2 .... that Kyle Busch's 50th Nationwide Series career victory in the 2011 Food City 250 stock car race broke Mark Martin's 1997 record of most Nationwide Series wins?
Here is a minor reworded hook of ALT0 that I could produce. MWright96 (talk) 07:25, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Yeah I think that should work. On further reflection, I think ALT1 also works if readers could find it interesting that a race had such a small winning margin. In any case, both ALT1 and ALT2 are now approved, with the final choice in hook being left to the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:29, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
