Is the Nextel NASCAR Cup getting a new name for 2008? According to sources at NASCAR, Nextel will no longer be the sponsor and Sprint will take over as title sponsor. Nextel and Sprint are the same company as they merged together back in 2004. They are known as Sprint Nextel.
If this happens, it would be the third name for the NASCAR Cup Series since 2003. It was known as the Winston Cup before becoming the NEXTEL Cup.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to call it the Sprint Nextel NASCAR Cup?
