The Bobby Labonte Racing Team has been looking forward to this event ever since the schedule was released earlier this year. “Jason, Matt, Regan and Ben have been working hard this week to make sure our cars are ready to defend our win from last year. Were excited to go back as the defending race winner”, stated Earl.
