I read in the business section of my newspaper this morning that Dish Network is negotiating to buy the Nextel/Sprint company from its Japanese owners. Dish states that more people are watching television on their phones now so it would be much more profitable to own the phone company. No figures were given in the article I read as to prices, but apparently Dish Network is very serious about this. So, The Winston Cup became the Nextel Cup which became the Sprint Cup, which may become the NASCAR Dish. On the other hand, Dish Network may not wish to even sponsor the NASCAR Dish so what would happen then? Anyone?>

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Read the same article, Tim. My immediate first thought is wonder how this would affect DirecTV - the current official satellite tv provider of Nastycar?

I'm not a huge fan of the Miss Sprint contingent. But all of them are nicer than the Dish skank Genie. I don't want her in victory lane. Ha!
