And too bad Kurt Busch took until the final lap to find the wall.

Oh, probably Gordon, Hamlin, Harvick, or Stewart.

Given those choices I prefer Harvick but it will most likely be Gordon.

falcongtho3 · 07-01-2007, 09:44 PM

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.

Blackpony04 · 07-01-2007, 09:50 PM

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!!

I know, I'm just thinking the legal problems are just starting and fanning them would be good for future sponsors.

I wish Hershey was big enough to sponsor the series. The Reese's Cup just sounds RIGHT.

I've been a fan since they did the Elvis Reese’s Peanut Butter and Banana Cup.

gvervoren · 07-01-2007, 10:39 PM

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.

The COT cars are fugly.
I still think they secretly make them out of plywood.
Watched about 5 minutes of the "race" :yawn:

OH pooooo, it was a pretty good race. Frankly not much has changed over the years. Every few years NASCAR ticks everyone off and then things settle down again.

Toyota will eventually get it's act together and by then Honda will be in the mix too.

falcongtho3 · 07-02-2007, 07:10 AM

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).

04VAMach1 · 07-02-2007, 08:03 AM

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

gvervoren · 07-07-2007, 08:46 PM

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.

He could have slowed up IMO, but its easy to drive from the Lazy Boy.

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.

gvervoren · 07-07-2007, 09:20 PM

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.

falcongtho3 · 07-07-2007, 09:44 PM

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?!?

Ditto! And the commercials ain't to bad....... with the exception of the Kurt Busch at the bar one :OOPS:

I agree. The Kurt Bush one was pretty stupid but the rest were pretty good.

Azure Blurr · 07-07-2007, 11:21 PM

That was an awesome finish! Atleast it was not one of yloponys boys!!

gvervoren · 07-07-2007, 11:22 PM

WOW. What a finish. Congrats to Jamie. That's another w in the win column for Ford.

Great finish. Pretty dang good race.

Thunderbolt · 07-07-2007, 11:34 PM

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.

falcongtho3 · 07-07-2007, 11:44 PM

An absolutely amazing final handful of laps! A win by .004/sec.!!!
And who'd have guessed the 07 would finish 7th on 07/07/07!?!

falcongtho3 · 07-08-2007, 07:37 AM

Here's a link to the official announcement of the name change from the Nextel Cup to the Sprint Cup.
