Technically, if the clause states that no other telecom company can sponsor a racer, then AT&T should be allowed to make the logo change anyway!

Despite what Sprint-Nextel might be trying to say, it is the same company with a new name...there is no new telecom entering the sponsorships.

Personally, I think Sprint-Nextel is the "whiner" in this instance.]]>Mar 21st 2007 3:01AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/Mar 21st 2007 9:31AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/
fyi Motorola is the exclusive phone maker of Nextel with the exception of the Blackberries. iDen is a part of Motorola]]>Mar 21st 2007 10:40AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/Mar 21st 2007 10:42AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/Mar 22nd 2007 3:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/03/20/atandt-sues-nascar-for-sponsorship-rights/
So while one might say that Sprint/Nextel are whiners (though honestly, I can't see why they wouldn't put that kind of clause in such a contract) or whatever, NASCAR is obligated by the contract that they signed to do what they did.]]>Mar 21st 2007 5:46PM
