Lead section

"It was Kyle Busch's first win of the 2011 season." 2011 season? Don't you mean 2012?
- Corrected Done Z105space (Talk to me!) 13:06, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Report

"the winners of the Daytona 500 and Coke Zero 400." Link these two races.
- Linked races Done Z105space (Talk to me!) 13:06, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"In between the segments there was a pit stop that lasting ten minutes." Lasted you mean?
- Corrected the wording Done Z105space (Talk to me!)
"McMurray acclerated faster than Truex, Jr. off the line" Change acclerated to accelerated.
- Wording corrected Done Z105space (Talk to me!) 13:06, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"On the 21st lap, McMurray managed to back into second position with drafting assistance." I think you meant "to move back into second position"

"On lap 54, the fourth caution came out when Ambrose made contact with Logano, causing a multi-car collision." Who else was caught up in the crash?
- Earnhardt Jr., Truex, Jr. and Kenseth. They've been added as being caught up in the crash. Done Z105space (Talk to me!) 13:06, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Results

"Car moved to the back of the grid for going to a backup car." Suggest rewriting to: "Moved to the back of the grid for changing cars"
