The 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series began on February 9, 2008 at Daytona International Speedway with the Budweiser Shootout, followed by pole qualifying for the 50th Daytona 500 on February 18. Due to the merger in 2005 of Sprint and NEXTEL, NASCAR’s premier series will be known as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for the 2008 season and beyond, and will crown the first ever Sprint Cup Champion.
The series has no connection with Sprint car racing, for NASCAR uses stock car bodies. Coors also replaces Budweiser as Official Beer of NASCAR thereby becoming the new sponsor of the Pole Award given to top qualifier in each Sprint Cup race.
