winters in buffalo Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 So I was just getting a haricut and saw some interview with Jeff Gordon. The graphic on the screen listed him as a "4-time Nextel Cup Champion." I was a bit surprised, because to the very besty of my knowledge, there hasn't been a Nextel Cup Champion yet. Did Nextel purchase the naming rights to future AND past championships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopernv Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 They did that so there wasnt smoking advertisments. I guess they did purchase the past championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
