With sponsors harder to convince, teams having to get creative

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR visits the lands of bright lights and billboards this weekend in Las Vegas.
Tons of billboards. You can't walk two feet without seeing an ad for something, from a large picture of Kurt Busch saying he wants his points back to a rolling sign pushing a local brothel.
There was a time not too long ago when it was that way on the track, where most of the cars were 200 mph billboards in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series.
That isn't the case at the moment. Dale Earnhardt Inc., Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates and Michael Waltrip Racing are struggling to find sponsorships to fully fund one Cup car each. Yates Racing doesn't have full support for either of its cars with the No. 38 of David Gilliland sponsored for seven races and the No. 28 car of Travis Kvapil for none.
