Bobby Labonte to Drive for Robby Gordon Motorsports at Loudon

Former Champ to Pilot No. 7 Toyota at NHMS

Charlotte, NC (June 23, 2010) – Robby Gordon Motorsports will put 2000 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Bobby Labonte behind the wheel of the No. 7 Toyota at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 this weekend in a current one-race deal.

“When we found out that Bobby was available to drive for us, we jumped at it,” said team owner Robby Gordon. “To have a past champion driving your car is a good opportunity. I think we can learn from him this weekend and it will help our program moving forward.”

Robby Gordon Motorsports finished second in last weekend’s race at the Infineon Raceway.

“I can’t thank Robby and his folks enough for this opportunity,” said Labonte. “We’re going to New Hampshire with the goal of having another solid run for his team. They had a great finish at Sonoma and have some momentum right now. I’m just thankful for the opportunity and hope to get another solid finish for his team.”

Labonte will be making his first start for Robby Gordon Motorsports and plans on running the full race this Sunday.

/sure hoping Bobby doesn't disappoint this weekend, he's been having some really bad luck, would be a nice time for a turn-around.
I bet Bobby can't wait until this weekend is over, and the season for that matter.
I hope they have a good run!! I really wish he would do some Indy racing, he was an exciting driver when he was in that eagle!!! Maybe an Indy 500 attemtp next year? Hope so.
Let's go Bobby!!!
what bobby needs is a good car to drive like the 7. but the #1 thing is bobby needs to find that DRIVE he had before !!!!!!!!! i pray to god robby gordon will start another team just for the 2000 nascar winston cup CHAMPION, i believe in both drivers, and they would both benefit....
