As I write this the countdown for the Daytona 500 is entering it’s final hours. While NASCAR’s biggest race has yet to begin, the week’s other events have provided an exciting lead-in. On Thursday, Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne won their respective duels to secure positions on the second row for the 500. The Truck Series and Nationwide Series took to the track on Saturday. Tony Stewart won the Nationwide race for the second straight year and Timothy Peters edged out Todd Bodine to score his second Series win. This is the NASCAR week that was February 7 to 13, 2010.
