Batten down the hatches, sound the alarms, raise the white flag. NASCAR?s most popular driver is currently sponsorless for 13 races this season, and if a sponsor isn?t found and signed before the summer months the No. 88 Chevrolet may be a blank billboard at some point in 2013.

In the offseason Pepsi Co. decided to decrease the amount of races they would spend on the side of Earnhardt?s car, this left a gap of 13 races that have yet to be filled, but it?s not really a case of Hendrick and company not being able to find a sponsor, it?...
