Craftsman Leaving The Truck Series In 2009

The Nextel Cup is becoming the Sprint Cup, and the Busch Series is becoming the Nationwide Series. Now what?

NASCAR will have a new title sponsor for the Craftsman Truck Series beginning in 2009.

On Tuesday, Sears announced that its Craftsman brand will forgo its sponsorship rights following the 2008 season. Craftsman has been the title sponsor since 1995, the year NASCAR founded the series.

No new title sponsor has been found to replace Craftsman, but a search soon will be under way according to NASCAR chief marketing officer Steve Phelps.

There is no word yet on who might be interested in sponsoring the series. Who do you think would make a great sponsor?
