Why 'Junior'?
Why is Sam Hornish called 'Sam Hornish, Jr.' Of course, because his father's called 'Sam Hornish', too, but Senior didn't race, did he? So there's no need to distinguish Junior from Senior by adding 'Jr.' to his name, like in Al Unser, Sr. and Al Unser, Jr. et al. Just curious.

@
Lustigson: His birth name is "Sam Hornish, Jr." and is reflected as such in the title of the article. Throughout the rest of the article, however, we are allowed to omit the Jr. Hope this makes sense, and apologies for having to wait 93 months to get a reply :) --

Does anyone know what Hornish is doing as an analyst on Speed this year?

Best Finish/Top 10
If in the Sprint Cup series it says his best finish was 28th then hwy does he have 9 top tens? --

Because the infobox shows the best finish in season points, not best finish in an individual race. -

Birthplace
It says in the first line of the article he was born in Defiance, Ohio but in the template box on the side of the page (beneath his picture) it says he was born in Bryan, Ohio. So which one is it? — Preceding

It's Defiance, per the Penske Racing reference. --

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.
References
Reference 107 redirects to the iRacing.com main news page and not to the intended article which no longer exists. Please archive the original link if possible.
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: 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. Thanks, --

@
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!
