Clearwire Cup?

[LMITOUT]

Sprint and Clearwire are merging and the new company will be called Clearwire. Looks like another name change in NASCAR coming....

[Meaney]

wow, what a odd name. Can we just get the Winston sponsor back

Right on Meaney! I still like the ring to that name.

HAHA just wait til Hanes wants to sponsor it. Nascar Hanes Her Way Cup *NHHWC*

I thought they made some kind of ruling saying that the Change to Sprint cup would be the only one allowed under ownership from the cell phone giant. There was something about this a while back.

They just need to come up with one name for each Nascar series and leave it at that, and then just add the following phrase ...."sponsored by ____________".

For example, instead of "NASCAR Sprint Cup Series"...you could have something like "NASCAR Champion Series sponsored by Sprint". That way you only have to change the sponsor name at the end and not the whole name of the series.

I like that idea HOF!

What was discussed at the time this name change occured was that the contract they had with NASCAR provided for one name change during the time of their title sponsorship. There is nothing that says they can't pay NASCAR to let them change it again, and we all know NASCAR will take every dime they can get...
