The article was created on December 9, is over 1500 characters (DYKcheck: 1566), no similar or identical passages found, article is factual and neutral, author/submitter has done QPQ review. The #54 best finish stated in the infobox needs a citation, either there or added in the Camping World Truck Series section with the citation there (or that line can be deleted); everything else is adequately referenced.
- The hook does not seem to be very "hooky" for the general public, although it is accurate: two people have won championships for a team, one of whom is the article's focus. I'd like to suggest the following about Max specifically:
- ALT1: ... that Max Gresham, the 18-year-old 2011 NASCAR East Series champion, started racing at the age of 8?

- Note: this is my second DYK review, so someone else might want to take a look and make sure I've covered everything (and done so correctly). Thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 17:31, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
- Added the needed ref. I'm not sure about the alt hook - lots of kids start racing younger than that in go-karts, and it depends on a primary source (which is OK, but...). - The Bushranger One ping only 18:19, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
- If you don't like ALT1, that's fine; I have no particular attachment to it, and it's a good point that they don't say what kind of racing it was when he was eight. Feel free to strike it out. (I did correct the link in it, which I failed to get right.) I'm not sure whether the semi-pro win at age 13, which I think was covered in one of the sources, would be as impressive, though it sounds like it is. Someone else would have to vet the ALT, anyway.

The requested citation was added, and the DYK passes based on its original hook. Would still like a more experienced reviewer to take a quick look, and perhaps think of a punchier hook. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:59, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
