Bobby Upset with Michigan Qualifying

Bobby Labonte was upset with his qualifying position for this Sunday's Michigan 400. Labonte and the #43 Cheerios/Betty Crocker Dodge qualified a disappointing 31st. ProFantasySports.com suggested that readers not look for much out of #43 this Fathers' Day.

"We just could never find anything that would help the car turn," said Labonte. "It was fairly hot this afternoon as well so the car lost some overall grip. That didn't help matters. But we have plenty of power and that is key here at Michigan. You can move around this track and figure out where you car is the best. We'll be fine for Sunday."

Labonte has previously won twice at the track, first in 1995 for the GM Goodwrench Dealer 400 and then again in 1999 during the Pepsi 400. Complete Michigan results available here at Wikipedia.
