I will review this article. Comments will appear soon. Z105space (talk) 17:00, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Lead section

Hornish's birth place should be omitted from the first sentence in the lead.
You should remove the source after Hornish's birth place in the first sentence in the lead and put it at the first instance it is used in the article's main text.

Early career

I think you need to explain who Mike Shank is.

IndyCar

Hornish had four, and Wheldon two;. Remove the semi-colon at the end of this sentence.

NASCAR

"Hornish was collateral damage" - This should say "Hornish sustained collateral damage"
"Since Tony Stewart was only eligible to score points for the Sprint Cup Series, Hornish was the series points leader after the Daytona race." - I think you need to add that Stewart was the winner of the 2013 DRIVE4COPD 300 race.
All mention of 10th, 11th and 12th should be spelled out.

You should link publishers of the sources like USA Today, The Indianapolis Star and The New York Times

On hold for seven days to allow the nominator to rectify the issues. Z105space (talk) 11:25, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Z105space: I've been told elsewhere that linking EVERY source in the Ref section constitutes as WP:OVERLINK. If you insist, I'll do it, but I've only done so on the first instance for repeated works and publishers. Also took care of everything else. Let me know if there are any final things.

@Bentvfan54321: Linking publishers is only required for the first instance but avoid linking them in every source. Other than that, I can pass this as a GA. Fantastic work! Z105space (talk) 18:49, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
