The first week after the 2008 season came to a close wasn’t short on news items. We crowned Johnny Benson, Clint Bowyer, and Jimmie Johnson NASCAR champions. Following Homestead on Sunday, many crew members didn’t survive the now infamous “Black Monday.” Hall of Fame, Stewart-Haas, DEI, Wood Brothers, Yates, and Bill Davis were some of the teams that laid off employees. With a sour economy, we also saw Furniture Row Racing buy out Joe Nemechek’s contract for 2009, and the team’s plans are up in the air for next season. Roush Fenway extended Matt Kenseth’s contract and Todd Parrott won’t return to Yates Racing next season as crew chief of the #28. This is the NASCAR week that was November 16 to 22, 2008.
