The NASCAR Week That Was: Jan. 10-16

Roush Fenway Racing led the news this week as they worked out a deal to liquidate the #26 team. The deal with Vermont businessman Bill Jenkins gives him equipment, points and the number for a start-up team. Jenkins has named Frank Stoddard as crew chief. We also got quasi-confirmation of NASCAR’s anticipated switch back to a spoiler this week. In a memo to teams this week, Sprint Cup Series Director John Darby said they would hold a test at Charlotte in March. He said the switch would not happen before Martinsville. This is the NASCAR week that was January 10 to 16, 2010.
