I would consider it an Achievement Ring, not a championship ring. Its pretty cool and quite the accomplishment, but not a championship. I'd assume NASCAR drivers would rather win the Sprint Cup. Believe it or not, a lot of drivers are torn on which one they'd rather win. During a pre-race show or something (can't remember which network, race, etc.) a couple years ago, a bunch of drivers were asked "if you could only win one - the Sprint Cup or the Daytona 500" which one would you choose?" You'd be surprised by how many chose the Daytona 500. Really? I'm surprised by that. To me (as a hockey guy) that would be like picking the Hart Trophy over the Stanley Cup. I'd rather win the whole thing than achieve one of the major accomplishments of the season.
