It was announced today that Sprint informed NASCAR that it will not continue sponsorship of the Sprint Cup Series when its current contract ends after the 2016 season. So NASCAR has two years to find a new sponsor for its premier series.

What companies do you all think would be candidates to sponsor the Cup Series?

Buescher flat out beat him in the closing laps at MIS, with a great pass on the outside. Thoughts?

NASCAR announced the engine in Matt Kenseth's winning car from Kansas had one underweight connecting rod. Penalties include loss of 50 driver/owner points, crew chief Jason Ratcliff fined $200k and suspended 6 races, suspension of #20 owner license for 6 races (can't earn owners points), and the win will not count for bonus points for the Chase nor for the wild card spot. NASCAR let them have the win as no performance gain was noted, but certainly made the team accountable.

Should the win have been taken away?

How bad do you think this will hurt Kenseth's season (will drop from 8th to 15th in drivers points)?

According to a report on ESPN.com, Kahne has signed a mult-year deal to join HMS starting next season. With the four team rule, who will be out at HMS? Does Mark retire? Is Dale Jr done at HMS or moves to JR Motorsports, or does Kahne possibly move to Stewart-Haas as a third car?
