NASCAR Nextel Cup / Sprint Cup Series: VERY STUPID

How stupid do you have to be to have your championship named after a corporation? Imagine the Super Bowl being called the Wal-Mart Bowl or the World Series changing their name to the AT&T Baseball Championship. The NASCAR championship is now called the "NASCAR Sprint Cup Series", formerly known as the "NASCAR Nextel Cup Series."

I've only watched a couple of NASCAR races on TV, and honestly I got to say that these guys are the hardest working sport professionals around. The season lasts from February until November! All the other major sports are pussies compared with that kind of a schedule. And not only that, but the racers work really hard to get and then support their corporate sponsors.

Nevertheless, the NASCAR governing body/board of directors should really consider changing their championship to "championship", i.e., the "NASCAR championship (series)".

Until then, you guys (the governing body) are the dumbest (in other words not having any measurable forethought) bunch of guys around in professional sports.
