The week of Christmas was a light one for NASCAR news. After taking Milwaukee off the Nationwide schedule for 2010 NASCAR announced Road America would take it’s place. No plans for the Truck Series date have been announced. As Daytona inches closer NASCAR announced changes to the eligibility for the Budweiser Shootout. Drivers are eligible if they were one of the 12 drivers that qualified for the 2009 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, a past NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, a past Budweiser Shootout champion, a past Daytona 500 and Coke Zero 400 champion, or the reigning Raybestos Rookie of the Year. In sad news, RCR pit crew member DJ Richardson died from complications due to the H1N1 Flu Virus. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and teammates. This is the NASCAR week that was December 20 to 26, 2009.
