Re: NASCAR thread
What I meant was that Sprint/Nextel will become Sprint in the next year and it is the belief of those in the know that it will become the Sprint Cup next year, so this years champion will be the last Nextel Cup champ.

Re: NASCAR thread
No they won't. Every champion from the beginning of NASCAR will be a Sprint Cup Champion...that's what they did when Nextel took over. Personally I thought they should have changed the "Chase for the Nextel Cup" to the "Sprint for the NASCAR Cup" this year....
BTW, I slept through most of today's race. Other than missing Carl Edwards' problem on Pit Road I didn't miss a darn thing. These COT races really suck!!

Re: NASCAR thread
I think it's stupid of them to change it to the Sprint cup. If they are the same company, what's the difference. They might as well just keep it the same. That's my $0.02. A little thing that bugs me is that did you ever notice how they say people like J. Gordon, Kenseth, and Labonte are past Nextel Cup champions. NO THEY ARE NOT, they are past Winston Cup champions. It was not caled the Nextel Cup Series when they won them.
On a side note, it was a pretty good race today though. Gordon did race very clean today. He could have won if he wanted too by racing dirty but he didn't so I applaud him for that.

Re: NASCAR thread

Re: NASCAR thread
It does seem to be a case of revisionist history. If you don't want to recognize the previous sponsor, just say 'Cup Champion', but don't throw in the Nextel part, especially since there won't be a Nextel in a year anyway. It really fun watching the stink bomb that's come fo the AT&T buyout of Cingular and the screaming match that Sprint/Nextel has made of the sponsorship issue. I actually do see their point, but this is something that's been coming down the pike for a while, so they shoudl have worked on it long before the paint got put on the car (OK, vinyl...whatever).

Re: NASCAR thread
Do you think that USAC would have something to say about a Sprint Cup in another series?

Re: NASCAR thread
WAY TO GO STEWART!!! Nice way to take out your teammate and a bunch of other drivers. What an idiot. Even if it's not entirely his fault.

Re: NASCAR thread
Denny claims he wasn't backing off any more then he was before the incident. On the other hand, Stewart said he stopped on the track. I say it's a little bit of both of them at fault.

Re: NASCAR thread
One thing I do like is how they show the race during most of the comercial breaks. Just the lower right corner of the TV is the commercial and you can still see what's happening in the race. Can't hear the race but can still see it. That's cool.

Re: NASCAR thread
I do prefer this style over what's been dished out so far. Even though you don't have audio, you can at least see important events, like McMurray being black flagged and Jr. pulling in. I like Harvick staying out until his tire exploded and brought out his own personal caution.
Did anyone catch Mark Martins comment that he'd be at Daytona next year trying for a 500 win?!?

Re: NASCAR thread
That was a sweet azz move by Kyle Bush with 10 laps left. That swing to the inside was awesome. He let it all hang out as usual. Good win for Ford and McMurray.
