Why is Dale Earnhardt Sr. called a Sprint Cup champion even though all his championships were during the Winston Cup Series?

That's just because of the name change. It's still the same racing series, but the new name takes precedent. For example, even though several driver's have won Busch Series races in the past, they're called Nationwide Series wins now .... again, due to the series' name change.
