Labonte scored his first victory in NASCAR's top division at Lowes Motor Speedway track outside Charlotte, NC in 1995 in the Coca-Cola 600 and won again in 2000. Labonte also has finished second at the 1.5-mile track six times and has 12 top-five finishes in 28 career race - including last year's fifth-place finish in the 600.
"You can't pick the first race you want to win," Labonte said. "You are trying to win them all. You just hope everything goes right. In 1995, we did everything right that day. It just happened that we won that race. It was my first, but I've had some good fortunes at Charlotte since."
