could you then deduce from this that the USAC Sprint Car racing guys will benefit greatly from this change of Sponsor's title.
It's all because Nextel is rebranding as Sprint, and since they have multi-year deal to brand NASCAR, it makese sense for them to demand the change.
It's us petrolheads that will shout "hey what's going on?" because we know that Sprint cars are not Cup cars. But they are next year!!!!
Now, devils advocate here.... if it were the other way around, I bet NASCAR's lawyers would be circling over USAC for using "their" name.
Or am I being crazy..........
