Labonte becomes a forgotten champion Written on June 23, 2010, by Bob.
It was announced that Bobby Labonte has left the #71 TRG Sprint Cup team as of the race in New Hampshire. What a fall from grace for a classy past Cup champion. When Labonte agreed to leave Joe Gibbs Racing, his career has become more than forgettable. His stint in the legendary #43 for Richard Petty was at the lowest period in NASCAR for the Petty organization. Now the forgettable drive for the “taxslayer”. Word is he may drive for Robby Gordon at New Hampshire. No where to go but up, eh? Do owners and sponsors think this guy just simply forgot how to drive? It’s not that he has stuck around too long (see Dale Jarrett and Darrell Waltrip please), it just HAS to be his team selection process. What a shame of for one of NASCAR’s good-guys in the vein of Mark Martin. In fact, I still buy Interstate Batteries, and it’s not because of Kyle Busch.
