This is it, it has finally happened. Nascar has decided to change the Nascar Nextel Cup Series name to the Nascar Sprint Cup Series beginning in 2008.

I personally don't know what to say about it. It kind of sounds weird to me. Especially since there's Sprint cars. The new logo looks pretty cool, so I guess it doesn't matter much to me.

Here's a link to an article:

I have nothing against Sprint or NASCAR, but I voted no.

They really need to stop changing their name, it's hurting the series.

I still call it the Winston cup occasionally, I'm just now getting used to Nextel cup. Now I have to call it something else? stare

I was used to Nextel Cup, but this is just jerking us around. I don't know who on earth had a hand in deciding this but maybe they should have a good long look at what they're doing. By this time next year, 3 of my shirts with the Nextel Cup logo on them will be out of date.

Actually they said they were changing the name at the half way of 04 season but decided to wait for fans to adjust to the change a bit , so i'm not really surprised at all besides nextel phones suck anyway.

If it were me, It would be "The Bill France Cup presented by Sprint"

This way we could just call it the Bill France cup, regardless of who sponsors the series.

I said we as in the fans. Of course the Sprint logo would be plastered over everything like Nextel is now. The up side it would honer the founder of NASCAR plus make it so us fans wouldn't have to remember the new series name every few years. "Is it the Winston Cup? The Nextel Cup? The Sprint Cup? Or is it the Stanley Cup?"

LIke they would go for that they just want sponsorship.They dont care really about the fans or the sport.
