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.
