Because, of course, only one BEER and only one HOME IMPROVEMENT store is allowed to sponsor a car, right??

AT&T should just keep the darn Cingular logo and tell Sprint to %^&* off.

SO - the #31 is allowed to keep the "CINGULAR" sponsorship - So, AT&T takes thier current GLOBE logo and files a trademark change making the GLOBE the "CINGULAR" logo also. They then put the "CINGULAR" logo on the car with no lettering.

Everyone knows the AT&T , er I mean "CINGULAR" logo.

I think Cingular is dead as a brand. (Fine with me...I can’t stand these contrived names like Cingular and Verizon). Even the bill I just got says AT&T Wireless.

Wrong. If NASCAR were sponsored by Budweiser for instance, you wouldn't have either Miller Light or Coors as car sponsors. That's the way exclusivity works at the league-level.

If your company were dumping a pile of money into a racing league why would you want your chief competitor drafting on your investment?
