Quotes from Terry Labonte:
“I’m even surprising myself in how much fun I’m having with this No. 45 Dodge team. These guys are a lot of fun to be around. We’re running okay but the main thing is that we are getting better every week. Each week we have improved on the week before. That was my goal coming in. I wanted to have fun and do what I could to help this team continue to move forward. We’ve been able to do both. I guess you could say that I’ve caught the racing bug again.”
“When I get to the racetrack it’s like old times again. Bobby and I always parked our motorhomes next to each other and we’ve been able to do that again. We both have similar driving styles so we are able to bounce things off of each other once again. In the process I think you’ve seen us both have decent runs but we just need a little luck. I couldn’t be happier with the decision to come back for a few races.”
“You know, it’s good to see my brother relaxed and ready to focus on nothing but winning races. When you are in the middle of a contract negotiation and rumors are swirling about what you are going to do, it can take you off your game. He’s at ease knowing that he’ll be at Petty Enterprises for a long time and that he will be able to help them restore their legacy, along with Boston Ventures.” Terry Labonte Fast Facts Terry Labonte is a two-time Winston Cup Champion, topping the points standings in both 1984 and 1996.
