Comments[edit]

Lead[edit]

...after he started from the sixteenth position. - Change this to after he started from sixteenth.

It gave the first position to Fernández. - This probably is too short of a sentence and could better weaved into the previous sentence.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 07:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Background[edit]

...of Championship Auto Racing Teams' (CART) 2000 series schedule - You don't need to link Champ Car again as you had already did it in the lead. Maybe do something like ...of CART 2000 series schedule.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 07:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
...consecutive year the Rio 200 - Comma between year and the
- Not sure that would result in an improvement so I have not added an extra comma in. MWright96 (talk) 07:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
...first of fourth straight - I assume this meant to be four not fourth
- Fixed. MWright96 (talk) 07:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
...from Long Beach two weeks earlier - This is probably an easy fix but maybe create the page for the Long Beach event.
- Creating the article is something I planned to do in the future. MWright96 (talk) 07:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Practice and Qualifying[edit]

He pulled off to the left of the track on the main straight... - This isn't really clear.
- Reworded the sentence for better clarity. MWright96 (talk) 07:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What does the word clouting mean as I would have to look it up to know
- It means that a driver has had a heavy accident. MWright96 (talk) 07:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I feel like we don't need to know every single person standing from qualifying as that seems slightly overboard.
- I've decided to do some pruning of the original text that retains mention of all the drivers starting positions but in a way that is more concise. MWright96 (talk) 07:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Warm-up[edit]

Seems fine here

Race[edit]

Looks fine here

Post-race[edit]

Looks fine here as well.

Final Comments[edit]
