Nextel Cup?
With Sprint buying Nextel, is the series going to be known as the Nextel Cup or the Sprint Cup this year? Also, why does cricket get it's own topic but auto racing doesn't?

It will still be known as the Nextel Cup for 2006, but Sprint does have the right to alter the name beyond that. If they do, though, it will likely do more to create brand confusion than leaving it alone in this instance.
From jayski.com: The new company (Sprint-Nextel) will be committed to its partnership with NASCAR and its more than 75 million fans. The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series will maintain its current series branding through 2006, and decisions regarding the series name and branding beyond that season are expected to be made prior to the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series season opener in 2006.
Can't help you on the "cricket" thing, but it does irk me, too... for obvious reasons.
