Just dawned on me the irony of a cell phone company sponsoring racing. How many states have made using cell phones illegal while driving?

...The Depends Cup...

Is wrong dmographic;

Look for MTV, WWF, and God knows which clothing company makes the ugliest, baggiest, most expensive pair of trouser/shorts.

Visit your local short track.
They still have greasy food and cold beer for less than six bucks.

Pretty soon we will see announcements that NASCAR is going to change to all electric cars and recruit some trans-gendered drivers to pilot them by remote control (for safety). Several race tracks will be closed because they intrude on the habitat of a rare mouse.

Changes often don't sound right but given time will grow.... hmmmmm..... Maybe "The Nex Racing Cup"

Golf went through that type change with many of it's tournament over time... From major celebity sponsors/names to Corporate names now. They change often also. But then they are a single tourney as opposed to an entire season...

The good ol boys will still show up....
