Neutrality Dispute[edit]

The race summary does not have an Impartial Tone, listing Arie Luyendyk's achievements and referring to AJ Foyt as a "a portly, overweight Texas red-neck gone berserk". It reads like a magazine article, not an impartial description of events. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.50.139 (talk) 19:00, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
