If Newman had won in '14, it should be blank on the inside.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Totally awesome! ! Now that is a CUP trophy!

Looks good except for the part where they're trying to incorporate all 23 tracks on the side of the thing.

At first glance it looks like something my 3-year old grandson mighta drawn up . . .

okay thats bad ass. I love it.

 

[ToyYoda]

I'm glad the Cup trophy is actually a cup once again.

 

[Simple Fan]

I like it, tracks might pop more if they were gold but still a cool design.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Bad. Ass.

 

[DUN24]

Very nice! Best one since the WC trophy. They oughta engrave Truex's name on it and get it over with. Lol

[DUN24]

That's disgusting

 

[SlicedBread22]

That's awesome!

 

[NASCAR Apologist]

Easily the coolest trophy in all of sports. Well done, Monster.

Oh please. The Borg Warner trophy is much better. So is the Stanley Cup. But you are entitled to your opinion.

 

[AdoubleU24]

This, in my opinion, is the best/most unique trophy in sports

 

[jws926]

I like it, much better than the Sprint Cup

 

[Johali]

It's absolutely perfect.

When Jimmie Johnson saw it I'll bet the farm that he said " I have Gotta get me two of those, they'll make perfect bookends for the other seven".

I'm apparently in the minority with my opinion of the Sprint Cup trophy (I really liked it), but this Monster Cup trophy is pretty cool.

Too bad the trophy is meaningless because of our luck-based playoff format.

 

[Towmater]

68 pounds? It is a monster. I like it!

 

[LewTheShoe]

Yeah, but it only holds 600 oz's. Not sure that's big enough for BK.

Roger Penske can refill it if it gets low, like he did repeatedly in 2012.

I really like the Sprint Cup trophy, and really like this one as well.

 

[Greg]

I decided to look up what trophies they have for other things they sponsor, found this one I think be cool.

He said them18 Ho's was what's special.

They used the IndyCar layout for Sonoma and included The Boot in The Glen's depiction...

Still a good-looking trophy though.

It needs more rovals too

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Does new Monster Energy NASCAR Cup trophy give clues to new layout at Watkins Glen?

Machined aluminum? Ick.

Thats actually pretty pathetic.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Totally awesome! ! Now that is a CUP trophy!

I like that it is an actual cup

 

[Johali]

This got me to thinking. How much would it weigh if it was any other metal but made exactly the same? So I got the abacus out and ciphered it for all to see.

Aluminum= 68 lbs
Stainless Steel= 201 lbs
Brass= 216 lbs
Silver= 265 lbs
Gold= 488 lbs. That's $547,242 for 10K in today's prices

Try hoisting that in victory lane.

I made a miscalculation. I figured the gold at 68 lbs not 488 lbs. The actual total total cost is $3,949,453. Holy smokes.
