==Major news stories==
===Economic effects===
====Mergers, contractions, alliances, and shutdowns====
The economic crisis of 2008 caused problems even before the 2009 season began. While gas (and diesel) prices came down to nearly $2.00 per gallon, corporate America was reluctant to shell out millions of dollars to sponsor teams due to the volatility of the stock market. As a result, Richard Childress Racing merged with Dale Earnhardt, Inc. to form Earnhardt-Childress Racing, a merger that was considered logical due to Dale Earnhardt having raced for Childress for most of his career, as well as being good friends with Childress. They fielded the No. 1, No. 8, and No. 81 (renumbered No. 33) from DEI and No. 07, No. 3, and No. 31 from RCR, and shut down the DEI No. 01, No. 14, and No. 15 teams, as the 01 team had been inherited from MB2 Motorsports. In addition, Front Row Motorsports had ECR support for their No. 34 car, to be driven by Tony Raines.
Roush Racing and Yates Racing also merged to create Roush-Yates Racing, fielding the No. 16, No. 17, No. 60, and No. 99 from Roush and No. 28 and No. 88 from Yates, shutting down the No. 26 Roush team and No. 08 and No. 38 Yates teams.
The crisis also caused multiple teams to fold, most notably Cale Yarborough Motorsports, McDuffie Racing, and Orr Motorsports.
====Reduction in manufacturer support====
Following General Motors' bankruptcy, GM cut all financial support in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series, and considerably reduced financial support in the RCA Cup Series. Toyota gave a small reduction in funding before the season, but did not made any mid-season cuts. Rumors floated that Toyota may leave the Camping World Truck Series or Nationwide Series; the automaker denied these reports. Dodge and Ford, the healthiest of all the automakers, continue funding at pre-crisis levels. From the 2005 season it had been rumored that Honda will join the Nationwide and RCA Cup series. This was denied by the manufacturer. Honda eventually joined NASCAR in 2015.
===Town-hall meeting===
On Tuesday, May 26, 2009, NASCAR held a town-hall meeting closed to the public and media with its drivers and owners to discuss a range of topics. Major topics discussed included the new horsepower war that had broken out between Dodge and Ford, sponsorship, testing, the reduction in TV ratings and attendance, and competition in general. All attendees considered the meeting a success.
