September 26th, 2009 
Journo One race into the Chase and sponsor news topped the headlines this week. Both Jack Daniels and Jim Beam announced this week that they would not be returning to their respective teams in 2010. Jack Daniels’ departure from Richard Childress Racing has increased uncertainty about the future of Casey Mears and the #07 team. Tuesday brought fallout from a failed weekend inspection. After failing a post race-inspection at New Hampshire #18 Crew Chief Steve Addington was fined $25,000, and driver Kyle Busch and owner Joe Gibbs were fined 25 driver and owner points. This is the NASCAR week that was September 20 to 26, 2009.

Why does Roush get a say in what RPM does, guess he just refuses to sell them race engines? It’s still Roush/Yates engines right?
Absolutely. As much as Yates is a Yates deal, it’s very much Jack Roush in charge. Team co-owner Max Jones is a long time Roush lieutenant. I’d be willing to bet quite a lot that Jack bankrolled a large portion of his ownership stake.
