Harvick Wins All Star Challenge, Labonte Goes Home Last

21 May 2007

Kevin Harvick earned another $1 million payday Saturday night, winning the Nextel All-Star Challenge after Matt Kenseth got caught speeding and brothers Kurt and Kyle Busch took each other out of contention.

Bobby Labonte crashed late in the race, finishing 21st. He had this to say about his teams' performance:

BOBBY LABONTE (No. 43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge Charger)

"We made some adjustments on it and just went too far. The tires couldn't hold it and I got down into the corner too hard.

I just overdrove it, pushed it in there too hard and the tires started chattering. It just got away from me, but when you've got all four tires chattering at one time it's kinda hard to hold on. We just went in there and wiggled and it was just a handful.

We were going to bring another car next week for the 600 anyway."
