Go, Bobby!

14 Mar 2007

This weekend, Bobby Labonte and the #43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge team head to the 1.54-mile Atlanta (Ga.) Motor Speedway for Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 500.

Labonte will be making his 29th start at the track in a Nextel Cup car. He leads all active drivers in victories at the track with six wins (1996, 97, 98, 99, 2001, 03). Labonte also has the most wins of any driver at the Atlanta since it was reconfigured for the November race of 1997. Labonte has scored five wins on the track since. He has a career record of 13 top-10 and 12 top-five finishes at the track, two poles (1996, 1999) and has led 957 laps. Labonte also holds the race record for a 500 mile race.
