"and 55 minutes long after rain delays" after long rain delays you mean?

"but only 43 will race" 43 raced; make sure to go through the article and double-check tense.
The full names of the two LaBonte's will have to be used in the race section since both were in it. Same for Busch, but it looks like all their mentions are fine.
I'll put the article on hold for a week and will pass it when the issues are fixed.

What does this mean?
"On the third lap, NASCAR held a moment of silence to honor Dale Earnhardt."
What exactly does that mean? It is probably glaringly obvious to NASCAR afficianados but I'm sure there are zillions who haven't a clue what it means. Did they stop the race for that lap? Or, does it mean that the crowd stood and remained silent for the lap? Needs explanation.

During the third lap of the race, their was a
moment of silence, which honored Dale Earnahardt, who died in the race 10 years earlier. Could you help me on explaining this any better? Thanks. --Nascar1996(

Sure, I'd try but I am totally in the dark here. Who observed the moment of silence, and how?

Lets see. Everyone at the track went silent. I assume that would be who observed the moment of silence. Now how, they remained quiet until the completion of the third lap. I guess thats what you meant. -- Nascar1996(

Noting that they stood up in silence as per the picture would be good to add into the text of the race; just an extra addition to the sentence already there, nothing more.

They stand up for the beginning of the race. They always do. Then they sit back down as longer the event goes. --Nascar1996(

I have changed your amendment slightly from "NASCAR held a moment of silence" to "the crowd stood in silence".
