Lead
finishing second at the United States team
— for the United States team?was driver coach
— was a driving coach? was the driving coach?
Early and personal life
As a child, he was a batboy for the New York Yankees baseball team
— When they played in California? Or in New York?Jim O'Bryan ... asked if Renna was interested in driving in Europe
— When?
Junior career
- This would be much easier to read if given one or two subsections.
IndyCar Series career
an agreement for Renna to drive for PacWest's CART team failed
— Why?- Might want to state that Al Unser Jr. drove for Kelley Racing when he is first mentioned in this section.
and to partner 2003 IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon
— Partner with?- Is there a natural point to add a subsection?
Death
without having made any prior collision against the trackside SAFER barriers
— Is the significance of this that they were unlikely to be damaged before he hit them?
Overall
- Looks good, MWright96, very little to point out. A few of the sections do look like walls of text; using subsections, or even adding some more photographs, would help. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:00, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
