A Champion Of The Ages
When I first started seriously following NASCAR a few years back, Bobby Labonte was one of the drivers I did some research on. I was impressed both with his track record (an unavoidable pun, sorry), and with him as a person. He's changed numbers and sponsors since then, but he's still a great driver. Keep reading to find out more about him.

- Does anyone have the video of the Penns 500 from July of 2001, where he passes Dale Jr. for the win in the final laps? Best Labonte moment ever!

- Bobby is class guy! I've spoken to him a few times at the track and he is a nice, down to earth, funny and witty guy. There's been word lately that he might move to RCR in 2009 but we'll see. Wherever he goes, I wish him the best and I think he has more wins in him.
