Nascar Nextel Cup?

cll1214 · 12-16-2004, 09:16 AM

With this new merger, what is it going to do to the title sponser of Nascar? Netel will no longer be one company. Will it be the Nascar Sprint Nextel Cup?

There is a story on yahoo about it. They state that at least in 2005 it will remain just the nextel cup.

not sure how everyone liked the playoff series style this year. maybe it'll change to sprint and go back to just championship points for overall victor.

sprint for the nextel cup...................

DF@Work · 12-16-2004, 01:06 PM

Nextel cup will stay the same through 2005. After that... its going to get interesting.

France said he did not know about the merger untell the day it was announced. But it will stay nextel cup for the 10 years of the naming rights. So don't expect to see sprint/nextel cup racing. I think you may see added some sprint logos and maby a voting thing like cingular now has. With Robby Gordon leaving the drivers seat I am not sure what cingular will have for a driver and If I remember one of the reasons hes leaving now is because of sponser issues (but I am not sure what those are). French gave an interview on the merger at http://www.nascar.com/2004/news/head...tel/index.html.
As far as the points system if it had not changed then 48 Johnson would have got the cup, (wether thats good or bad is up to you). It did make for a interesting 10 and races and it did bring the field closer together. how ever nascar has had alot of good seasons with close endings in the past.
I think next season will be interesting watching the car owners and drivers seeing what Hendrick Motorsports will do with there Chevy moters to beat DEI, and what Roush will do with the 6 Martian and the 16 Biffel. As Martian will retire and a champion ship would be a good way to go, and Biffel and his team are strong. The Roush/Yates package has deffently made a spot in nascar for it's self. DEI is going to be interesting with Slugger going to 8 Jr and Eury gotin to the 15 waltrup, 15 has to be in the top 10 next season or look for a new ride in 06, but I think DEI will push the 15 more and maby send some $$ that way. Petty will be like they have been, most of there race winnings is going towards the camp right now but that will change when the camp is self suffecent.
The ones to watch will be the 12 of Newman and the 2 of Wallace. Penske Racing is uot to make Dodge a big name is Nascar. You might see them team with other dodge owners like Chip Ganassi Racing or Evernham Motorsports. somthing that direction.
Well its long and windy and finly I am done

actually GORDON (JEFF, not ROBBY obviously) would have won the championship. jeff burton is moving to the 31 next year. and ill leave the rest for now, i gotta work

**dewmik** · 12-23-2004, 03:53 PM

you were right, 24, 48, 8, 97, 20, 6, 42, 17, 12, and 38. Sorry mixed up the first two on my paper.
I knew that Burton was taking the 31 but I am not sure who he sponsor will be.

TknCareOfBsnss · 12-23-2004, 04:09 PM

i think cingular still.

pgh94 · 12-31-2004, 02:15 AM

I thought Jeff was going to drive the 07 car. But instead it's Dave Blaney.

**dewmik** · 01-02-2005, 03:53 AM

Question: Will sprint phones be able to get the stuff nextel has for cup fans. Like the phone shells, and that incar listen to the driver/tyeam thing. That would be cool. And will the track pass be better.
