Sprint Cup runneth over...

So I find it disappointing that Sprint has had to lay off 5600 full time employees and contractors. Sprint has had some serious bad luck lately. They have been stuck in third place in the Telecom industry for some time now. The Sprint merger with Nextel also hurt. Both corporations had different technologies that did not come together as smoothly as one would hope. When Sprint merged with Nextel, Sprint also took control of a deal that Nextel worked with NASCAR in 2003. The deal was for the naming rights for 10 years at $700 million.

Okay so to add to the bad luck....

The Daytona 500 was won by Ryan Newman. His Sponsor... Alltel. Newman broke an 81-game winless streak to win the biggest race in NASCAR's Sprint Cup.

The ugly gets uglier.
