May 14
Labonte finished second in the All-Star races in both 1997 and '98. He has four top-five finishes and seven top-10s in 13 starts.
Labonte finished 18th at Darlington. "That was a pretty demanding race," said Labonte. "Darlington is always one of the most mentally draining races, but tonight was worse because we didn't have many cautions to catch our breath. The car just got tight there after the halfway point. It was really a handful to turn."
Labonte and brother Terry will be become teammates next month when Terry takes over the driving duties of the No. 45 Dodge and Kyle Petty moves to the TV booth during the TNT telecasts. Terry will drive the 45 car in five races beginning with the June 8 event at Pocono (Pa.). "To have him as a teammate again is special for our whole family," said Bobby. "It means a lot to me because I grew up wanting to be just like him."
