Labonte To Run BHR'sTruck At Michigan

Former NASCAR NEXTEL Cup champion Bobby Labonte, fills in for driver Mike Bliss this weekend at Michigan International Speedway.

"It's a really good team and the guys work hard at Bobby Hamilton Racing. Dodge is a big supporter of that truck and they are big supporter for me too,'' Labonte said. "That made it an easy decision to help them out again. We want to give them a win and they really could use one.''

I was given the opportunity to race this truck last year at Michigan. We had a good solid run; we led for a while, and ended up finishing third,'' Labonte added. "Michigan is a favorite track of mine and I enjoy the Craftsman Truck Series. It's a tough field, but hopefully we will have something for the guys on Saturday."

Bliss, who drove the No. 16 IWX entry to the 2002 NCTS championship, was supposed to have driven the No. 4 Dodge for 11 of the series' remaining 18 races this season.
