You can only move them off the display, not delete. If you do the root thing (i don't understand it too well) I think you can delete these, but it just might mess up the phone. I think sprint would be wise to have an app site for the native apps and allow users to add the ones they want. I also have no use for nascar and sports apps.
The android pros are all on the evo forum, and you can learn a lot there. not sure why no pros on this forum.

How to delete/uninstall applications (works only on rooted phone)

to execute commands on phones you need adb installed

1) mount /system/app as read/write       

             adb  remount
                   or
             adb shell
             mount -o rw,remount /system

2) remove the apk file

              adb shell
              rm -f /system/app/<apkname>.apk

3) uninstall the application

               pm uninstall <package name>

google "barebones cyanogenMod Wiki" to find a chart showing the correlation between the <apkname>.apk and <package name>

wrong, u do not need adb installed, that is not ur only option and there are easier options, u can use 1clickroot with has its own adb interface and is scripted to provide u root access, then u can use a file explorer with mount/unmount capabilities to navigate to system/app/ and remove the apk's and odex files u wish to remove (such as the bloatware stated in the op)

u also left out that if he does use adb he would also have to remove any odex files that correlate to the apk he wishes to remove, unless there isnt one, or unless he has already rooted and has deodexed his system apps and framework
