Re: bobby labonte a contender for this year

At the start of the year, I might have thought so, but now I think it might be Dover or Charlotte. I just think that will be about when they crank things up!

Re: bobby labonte a contender for this year

Texas in November. Bobby and Paul have some gelling to do. Give them about half a season and they will start running up front more consistently. Then I think towards the end of the year they will start becoming a winning team.

Re: bobby labonte a contender for this year

i hope your right.labonte is starting 31st,but if there is something i've noticed about labonte is that he always runs better when he starts towards the back than he does when he starts in the front.

Re: bobby labonte a contender for this year

Let's hope so! They need to pick up some spots early, to keep from getting lapped! I hope they don't have a long green run at the beginning. That could put him down early!

Re: bobby labonte a contender for this year

Starting that far back doesnt reassure me too much quite frankly, and I was hoping for a better debut of the COT at Bristol for Bobby

Me too. It's been dissapointing thus far. I'm amazed he is 14th in points.

Re: bobby labonte a contender for this year

That just means he will have to be on it early! Even more reason to be "up on the wheel"!

Re: bobby labonte a contender for this year

I doubt there is a word that satisfactorally describes how I feel about his finish

apparently a problem with the brakes or brake pedal?

These are the finishes he CANNOT have if he wants to make the chase

I wanted to just turn off the TV, or take the motorcycle out for the day, but I'm too much of a race fan not to watch!

Not good.

As you probably know the race was live at 6am on monday morning here, and I had to work so I was spared the agony of knowing until I got home

i wanted to break the tv..labonte has had nothing but pure bad luck for the past 2-3 years now.labonte cant even be consistant any more one week he moves up in point and the next week he falls in points 8 spots the wrong way.he is going to need a great run at texas,this is also the track people have predicting for him to get his first win in the 43 car.can he do it? i hope so but since im such a big labonte fan im going to say yes.

Re: bobby labonte a contender for this year

Labonte can definately get a win soon.
I mean he was the one driver that I didn't hate at Gibbs and he's lucky he left with most of the budget going to Tony's cars!
