I;m glad he stood up and said, "I can't do this" as a start and park driver.<br /><br />I was hoping some big time team would see what Mark Martin did for HMS and look to give it a shot instead of unproven rookies. I would take Labonte any day over half the drivers on tour now.<br /><br />Why was he blackballed, as looks to be the case? JGR was on a down cycle in his final years. Look at what his car did before and after he left and look what the 11 did with Leffler before Denny got there. It was a joke, and not Labonte's fault. The cars flat out sucked. After seeing what the 18 and 11 are doing now, on top of the world, how come no one makes a case for Bobby being railroaded by politics?Fireballr7https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938033435458990629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-6247056905311938382010-06-26T05:02:49.802-07:002010-06-26T05:02:49.802-07:00Ath...

I doubt it was his first time, and I really doubt it was at a parking lot party in front of dozens of witnesses. His wife may want to go through his cell phone..Hah!<br /><br />I don't think he was a spotter for Kyle or Coleman, and that's the team that was listed. I heard he's some kind of babysitter for Logano, DiBendetto and some of JGR's developmental kids when they're off testing somewhere.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-8705830367542620502010-06-25T14:57:21.483-07:002010-06-25T14:57:21.483-07:00JM.... funny you mention "roll the center&quo...JM.... funny you mention "roll the center".

Not quite sure what Gene had in store otherwise.<br /><br />I voted for Marcos. Sure I would love to pick JPM's brain - But Come On! If you get a chance to party with an Aussie, it's like doubling up on Blackjack in Vegas! No brainer.<br /><br />Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. What more can I say about him. He is class personified but hasn't been able to drive for about five years. Agree with you Gene. And it pains me to have to admit it.<br /><br />Foghat? Really?

From what I've heard Bruton Smith would love to move one of these dates to Kentucky and the other to Las Vegas.
