Daytona 400 Bobby Labonte Preview

9 Jul 2007

Labonte and the team have moved back to 18th in championship points heading into this weekend's event, the Pepsi 400 at Daytona. The team is only 69 points out of the 15th position. Labonte and the #43 team continue to be one of the best Dodge teams on the circuit. Labonte is the third best Dodge in points.

"We feel pretty good that we can come back and have a strong run Saturday. This race is one that is won back at the shop. The guys preparing the car, shaping it and molding it back at the body shop are the ones that win the races at Daytona."

Despite recent setbacks Labonte seems to remain upbeat about their odds of getting into the Chase.
