Bobby Hopeful on Chances for Chase

3 Jun 2007

Bobby Labonte had this to say about their chances for entering the Chase with half of the season behind them.

"Knock on a lot of wood. We haven't had any major, major problems. Martinsville was probably our worst one. We didn't have a DNF, but we had a problem. Everywhere else we've been fortunate. We've had some good, consistent finishes. The last 10 races last year we had it going on and if we had that now it would be great, but I'll take some consistency right now and build on it for the next few races."

Labonte is currently 17th in the Nextel Cup standings, moving up two places after his positive finish in the Coca-Cola 600 over Memorial Day weekend.
