What do you think about the ruling that Sprint has placed for the #12 Penske Team?

In my opinion, just because there is a logo on a race car doesn’t mean that I am going to switch from my cell phone carrier to Verizon. Even if David Stremme were my favorite race car driver, I still wouldn’t change. I know when AT&T merged with Cingular Wireless there was a big court battle with RCR and Nascar and RCR won. But come on. What happened to the good old days of any sponsor is welcome?

Article from Jayski.com:
The [Cup] car will be identified and branded as the Penske Dodge Charger,” said Walt Czarnecki, the executive vice president of Penske Corporation. That means David Stremme, who replaces Ryan Newman in the #12, could find himself promoting Verizon even though the name can’t be on the car, thanks to a 2004 ruling after Nextel became the top series sponsor (it was since become Sprint). That ruling allowed existing wireless communication companies with teams and tracks to keep their sponsorship, unless a team or company changed hands. Verizon took over Alltel, the long-time sponsor of the #12, on Jan. 9. Earlier, the ruling forced Richard Childress Racing to seek a replacement for Cingular Wireless on the #31 car of Jeff Burton after it merged with AT&T and kept the AT&T name. Czarnecki doesn’t believe Penske will have to find a replacement for Verizon because of the multi-year deal it signed with Alltel. “Once the business transaction occurred NASCAR was kept fully informed of what was transpiring,” he said. “NASCAR has made it very clear, even with Alltel, what their requirements were as far as branding on the cars and branding at the track. We’re working with NASCAR and the people at Verizon. I believe we’ll be able to accommodate all of those requirements.” Verizon will be on the #12 Nationwide Series entry driven by Justin Allgaier.

Nascar vs AT&T?

What Nascar is doing is really dumb. First they say that Cingular and Alltel can be grandfathered in under the 700 million dollar contract with Nextel.

Now because SBC bought AT&T and switched their name over to AT&T and then purchased Bell South (which SBC and Bell South owned Cingular) and then AT&T owned Cingular in whole. It is AT&T’s right to change the name of the cellular side of their company. In relation to the name change itself, that is the only thing that is changing (any how now that that has been said).

Nascar wants any and all Cell companies out except for Nextel (who is their primary sponsor). Nascar should not be able to change the rules to suit their own needs. If they are able to successfully sue AT&T for 100 million dollars because the name of the company changed and nothing else, major corporations will think twice about signing a deal with Nascar and may end up scaring some of the companies they have away.

What do you think?
I understand where your coming from DrivinFast31. Still change is inevitable though. I do see that you have a pick of your drivers car with the ATT logos on it though.
