Background

  • that holds NASCAR races. — Clearly, considering the Daytona 500—a NASCAR race—was held there. Does it only hold NASCAR races?
  • NASCAR later altered the green–white–checker finish rule so that a maximum of not one but three attempts could be undertaken. — Attempts to do what?

Practice and qualifier

  • a shortened 50 minutes — Was it originally scheduled to run longer?
    • No have rewritten MWright96 (talk) 07:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • It doesn't look like the fourth practice session is discussed at all. Any significant details worth adding? --Usernameunique (talk) 17:12, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • It is mentioned but have clarified further. MWright96 (talk) 18:14, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • Matt Kenseth led the third practice session held later that day — MWright96, is this right? It looks like the third session was to be held on February 10 (like the fourth), but "later that day" refers to February 6. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:32, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • 54 cars entered the qualifier on Saturday afternoon — What day (February ##) was that?
  • This section jumps around, especially in the first and second paragraphs, and makes it really confusing to figure out what happened when. It took me a long time—involving looking at other articles and checking the dates of the sources—to begin to get a grasp on the chronology.
  • Matt Kenseth led the second practice session — What day?
  • Johnson and Kahne were the winners of the Gatorade Duels. — What day? The 2010 Gatorade Duels says February 11, but in this article, it says that there was supposed to be a practice that day.
  • The ten drivers that failed to qualify were Casey Mears, Todd Bodine, Gilliland, Cook, Cope, Aric Almirola, Dave Blaney, Sorenson, Mike Wallace, Norm Benning, and Fuller. — That's eleven.
  • In the final practice session — What day?

Race

  • Live television coverage of the race began in the United States at 12:00 p.m Eastern Standard Time (EST) (UTC−04:00) on Fox. — How about adding a sentence after this one, naming the announcers?
  • During the pace laps, Gordon, Burton, and Waltrip moved to the rear of the field because they switched into a back-up car, and Allmendinger, and Edwards did the same for changing their engines. — Why during the pace laps rather than beforehand?
  • Martin was given a push by his teammate Johnson — Meaning Johnson physically bumped his car against Martin's?
  • Montoya received assistance from Harvick — How did Harvick assist him?
  • he received assistance from Kahne and Sadler to keep it — What sort of assistance? Why did they help him, if they ended up passing him a few laps later? And at what point did Kahne and Sadler pass Earnhardt?
  • Although Kurt Busch fell to third when Sadler overtook him on lap 34, he drove left to pass Harvick for the lead two laps later. — So presumably Sadler overtook Harvick for first in the middle of this?
  • Just out of curiosity, I notice there's a decent amount of "leader takes a pit stop; the guy who was in second leads the next lap, then takes a pit stop himself." Is this a common strategy to get the point bonus for leading a lap?
  • On the 107th lap, Biffle overtook Bowyer to claim the lead — So Gordon fell off?
  • Travis Kvapil and Boris Said each staggered their pit stops on laps 119 and 120 — So did they each lead a lap?
  • a third allowed NASCAR to continue racing — Do the sources say that three fixes were tried the first time racing was stopped, or that two were tried, and then the third was tried the second time racing was stopped?
    • No NASCAR used a third compound after two previous compounds did not fix the potholes MWright96 (talk) 07:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Right, but when was the third compound added? Was it added immediately after the first two (i.e., compound one applied, but didn't work; compound two applied but didn't work; compound three applied and worked; racing resumed) or only after the racing resumed and was then stopped again (i.e., compound one applied, but didn't work; compound two applied; racing resumed; racing halted again; compound three applied and worked)? --Usernameunique (talk) 17:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • A competition caution — What's a "competition caution"?

Post-race comments

  • The track was later repaved from July 5 to December 10 — For the first time since 1978, no? If so, worth adding.
