While Bobby Labonte's recent performance as a driver in the Nextel Cup hasn't been so hot as a team owner in the Lucas Oil Dirt series he is on fire. With driver Early Pearson, Jr's two top five finishes over the weekend, Earl took over the lead in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series national point's standings with a 75 point advantage over Steve Casebolt.
"We had a pretty good weekend and hopefully we have gotten back on track with our program. We've been inconsistent here lately but Jason, Matt and Keith have been working hard to get us back up front again. It feels good to be leading the series points again but Casebolt and James are really running good everywhere and will be tough to beat for this championship. Really looking forward to going out to the Midwest next week and running at the Lucas Oil Speedway in MO," stated Pearson, Jr.
Pearson and team will travel to two more Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned events before the month closes. The Tri-City Speedway race in Pontoon Beach, FL will appear live on the SPEED Channel.
