Coach Dog Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Word is that the cup series will no longer be called the Nextel Cup, but next year it will be calle the Sprint Cup. This will take some getting used to. Money talks, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonica Bear Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'm still getting used to the change from Winston cup to Nextel cup. I just call it "The Cup", who cares who sponsors it, just as long as they leave the racing alone don't dicate changes or how things should be run. But then again they always do (ATT/RCR vs Sprint). The whole thing slowly becomes more talk every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdog Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Sprint and Nextel are the same now and Nextel as a brand is going away completely. They actually thought this was coming when they made it Nextel cup and wrote this into the initial contract with NASCAR that they get one free name change... Funny how they don't think Cingular should get the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
