Everything checks out in terms of length, age, hook (assuming good faith on offline source). Only one small question - I don't completely understand the last sentence of the first paragraph in "Stock car career", specifically how the "...and having won" part fits with the rest. Maybe this could be rephrased for clarity? Or, if I'm missing something obvious, let me know! Moswento talky 16:37, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
