Just heard that Nascar is losing Nextel as it's sponsor, and, starting
next year, their new sponsor will be Sprint. That's right, folks, next
year, Jeff, Tony, Dale,Jr.,Jimmie, and the rest will be competing for
the "Sprint Cup". That dosen't even SOUND right. Any suggestions for a
better name? I know Sprint is now the sponsor, but even they've gotta
realize how crappy the term "Sprint Cup" is.

I guess we will have a Sprint for the Cup instead of a chase!

NASCAR's top series to be renamed Sprint Cup in 2008: Beginning with the
2008 season, Sprint will replace Nextel as title sponsor of NASCAR's
premiere racing series, multiple high-ranking industry sources told
ESPN.com on condition of anonymity. The series will be known as the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, sources said. NASCAR declined comment. Dean
Kessel, Sprint's NASCAR marketing director, denied the claims, and said
Sprint/Nextel is still sorting the proposition out with NASCAR. Kessel
also said that multiple outstanding details must be finalized internally
before a decision can be made either way. This would mark the third time
in four seasons NASCAR's Cup Series experienced a sponsorship-based name
change. From 1972-2003, the Cup Series was sponsored by R.J. Reynolds
tobacco through its Winston cigarette brand. Then, starting in 2004,
Nextel assumed the naming rights to the most popular racing series in
America.(ESPN.com)(6-20-2007)


Jeff & Ingrid Gordon proudly announce the birth of their daughter:
Earlier today, Jeff Gordon and Ingrid Vandebosch welcomed a new daughter
into the world. Ella Sofia Gordon was born at 9:09 a.m., weighed 7
pounds, 1 ounce and was 20 inches long. “It’s been an absolutely
incredible experience,” Gordon said. “Ingrid came through amazingly
and we’re both really happy and overjoyed. We can’t wait to get home
and start our lives together as a family.” The four-time NASCAR Cup
Series champion will travel to Northern California later this week and
is scheduled to participate in all on-track activities at Infineon
Raceway, site of this weekend’s NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race.

Am I reading a forum or a newspaper here?

With Nextel being the title sponser & Sprints purtuce of Nextel,
well..... But I agree with you knoxman, the name would be very cartoon
corny.

I got the info from Nascar.com. I thought there was so much good info
that I just cut and pasted it

How about Winston Cup??

"INTIMIDATOR CUP!!"

I like that. He's dead and it would immortalize him forever!!!

the thc cup

hhhmmm i hope the feds don't find out

Wouldnt that be THC BOWL???

hhhmmmmmmmmmm


i guess it was made into t

I have the ultimate name..The HIC Cup..The sport was started by Hics and
they all ran Moonshine in their hot rods so they could evade the cops!
When they sat around drinking the stuff and pouring it in the gas tanks
they would get the HicCups!!

I like what Larry the Cable guy has shared, The Kotex Tampon Cup........
Or something like that....

LOL...I guess the Athletic Supporter Cup will be as good as any!!

If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter.

The Sprint for the 'D' Cups could be the race for the busty trophy girl
at the end!!

Geez, the way it's going how about The Hendrick's Cup

lil...the other teams are not dead..They will catch up and they will be
competitive. The COT is an expensive transition and a completely
different car with a lot of different rules to follow. The 7-post shaker
is a very expensive device that the bigger teams have got ahold of that
allows them to set up the cars a lot closer than normal before going to
the track. This gives them an advantage over the have nots. These are
the kinds of things that Hendricks has always been ahead on and it gives
them an obvious edge!

Sprint for the Moon would be a good name refering to the Moonshiners
that started this whole mess!!

Jr. Qualified 6th for the next race!!
