OH, you mean sort of like SPRINT buying out NEXTEL and renaming the series. Teams shouldn’t be allowed to do things like that?

Did that violate an exclusive agreement? I’m genuinely asking - I don’t know the answer.

Hmmm...forgot about that.
I don’t follow the Busch series - is more than one brand of beer allowed to sponsor a car in that group - because I was pretty sure I saw a Tecate car racin’ around on a Saturday.

It’s ridiculous that NASCAR is messing with drivers’ sponsors. There’s no reason why Nextel/Sprint should have exclusivity.

Bring back the WINSTON!

Perhaps more like Sunoco replacing 76 as the "official fuel" and then whining about the Shell/Pennzoil sponsored car winning the Daytona 500.
