This is just a really big deal to me......

the Nextel Cup? The Nextel?

who moved my cheese?

I must say though, that I am glad that RJ Reynolds is unsure of it's future. That IS good news!

I agree with you! NASCAR Nextel Cup...doesn't have the right ring to it I personally would've liked Coca-Cola! :) I don't get why they're going with Nextel, when they already have 2 other phone companys (Cingular Wireless, and Alltel) on 2 other cars! Doesn't make sense to me :rolleyes:

you mean those rednecks have cell phones!?

lol all the rednecks where I live have cell phones...except me :laugh:

While the concept of NASCAR being inhabited by a bunch of "rednecks" has merit, Winston and the rest of the marketing folks have done an amazing job. Go to a race sometime and see the money there. Your perception of the typical fan may change. :rolleyes:
