Scrapping for sponsorship dollars is nothing new in racing, from the grassroots up to the professional level. When the top teams in NASCAR have to go begging, however, things might be worse than they appear. According to USA Today, cars entered by Jack Roush and Dale Earnhardt, Inc. have not yet secured sponsorship for the coming season. Both Roush and DEI are top level teams. I agree with Ward Burton, driver of the unsponsored Roush car, who said (imagine the accent, now): "If the 99 car and Jeff Burton and Roush Racing can't find a sponsor, then the sport's got a problem." Just maybe.
