Bobby Labonte wins in Talladega

[JRRacing64]

This was the first time we saw the two car draft, even if it was only almost 3/4 of a lap. So all of those that hate it, thank this moment.

[bmillsistheman]

one of the worst calls for a great finish...espn/abc is horrible

[kahnekid9]

First time to see the two car tandom. With Bobby and Tony.

[turducken97]

WHY DID I MISS THIS RACE ON TV? CURSE YOU WORLD!

[jg24fan06]

Is it just me, or do the in-cars sound different than what they should sound like? I remember this race and Daytona for the then Busch series in 2007 that sounded like that. Sounds horrible.

[vidEvWill]

very similar to his brother's win here in the Busch Series back in 1999.

[masterbasser24]

Holy shit. These commentator's are the reason why I don't like nascar as much anymore. That was just absolutely awful! Imagine if DW and Allen Bestwick were commentating...they'd be all over that and jumping up and down. Not just saying "Bobby goes to the outside...and he gets him. Race over." FU

[JustaYardWorker]

Everyone who thinks labonte deserves a better ride with RCR, Hendrick (hopefully not) or Roush or even Joe Gibbs, as long as they ditch Toyota, go to pontiac, and bring back the ol'Interstae Batteries #18 car say I! (oh and ditch Kyle bush)

[purpletang21]

@JustaYardWorker GM doesn't make pontiacs anymore.

[ChevyCamaro33]

i cant believe the call to the finish. terrible. jerry punch, you suck.

[zandylovesrisk]

how was the call to the finish bad?

[ChevyCamaro33]

no excitement. its like he's narrating a finish that he's seen 10000 times, or reading a book.

[dalejrredneck88]

bobby aint doin to well nowadays but he definetly had his day and has already proven himself as a top notch NASCAR driver but sorry to say i think his days on top are over.not sayin he sucks and cant win but his days as a definite threat every week are over.

[chaoticalways]

i wish bobby was runnin good again. hes always been a class act. i think if he gets into a good car then he will be the bobby of old, hes just been driving crap cars for the last couple of years. u can put the best driver in his car and u will get the same result. if bobby drove for hendrick or rcr i believe he would be a contender again

[NAVGFan]

I agree! That's why I've been pulling so hard for Bobby to get a ride with RCR.

[111cados111]

@NAVGFan After what happened when RCR added a 4th car last year I dont think the'yll add a 4th for a long time if ever. What about Stewart-Haas? He and Tony used to be teammates, he's got a champions provisional if he was to drive a 3rd car that started with no owners points, and he's popular and so can bring sponsors.

[zandylovesrisk]

@111cados111 I was hoping for the Stewart-Haas thing to happen but then Stewart a a hard time keeping full-time sponsors with the other 2 cars

[zandylovesrisk]

@111cados111 I was hoping for the Stewart-Haas thing to happen too but then Stewart had a hard time keeping full-time sponsors with the other 2 cars

[43labontepetty]

go bobby! his cars are getting better with the 96 team but nowhere near as good as when he drove pontiac with gibbs. sorry i don't know how to spell pontiac

[PanterArocks1992]

kyle busch almost "die" in that race. I remember that.

[PNSAforce]

Ok, so there is about to be an amazing finish, and the commentators start talking about where the start/finish line is? Come On!

[F2pSkill99]

no excitement from the commentators

[labontefn96]

bobby labonte is the bst driver ever. 2009 is hs seson. wooo #96

[zandylovesrisk]

since you and me both like him, why don't you check out my background

[bryantb0mbz]

to be honest i think nextel cup drivers shouldnt drive in the nationwide series, i think the nationwide series should only be for young drivers so they'll have there chance to shine. not just harvick, edwards, steward and all the other nextel drivers who always win the nationwide series by like 800 points its plain unfair.

[nascarfanatic24]

I think they should only be allowed to race in the Nationwide series one of a few conditions:

1) A full time Nationwide driver shouldn't have a Cup championship.

2) A full-timer shouldn't have a Nationwide championship

3) Anyone who don't qualify from the first two, can't drive anymore than 10 races

[zandylovesrisk]

i thought that each Sprint cup driver could race in 10 Nationwide races a year so none of the sprint guys could win the championchip

[tazertaze]

that was the most impressive shit in nascar ive ever seen im not a big labonte fan but that was damn amazing

[3760987]

yeah!! go bobby!!! booby labonte is the most underrated driver in NASCAR today along with Sterling Marlin they da best along Dale Jr.

[Earthling122]

i bet old tony was pissed

[zandylovesrisk]

not really he said that if he was going to get beat by somebody it would be the guy who taught him everything

[IamTheShermanator]

The ESPN commentators sound so bored.

[asman9]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT FINISH AND A BAD CALL. Punch sucks at broadcasting soooooooooooooooooooo much. If Allen Bestwick, Larry Mac, BP, Mike Joy, or DW called the race, it would have been differnet. ESPN/ANC SUCKS!!!

[chadloflin20]

That was the old slingshot move that the old school guys used to use.

[RaidenX2007]

wooooooooooo go bobby labonte =]

[liquidnickel]

Woah woah... rewind. I thought Labonte drove 43 after Petty gave it to him?

[Sebbe87]

That was a busch race, there he drove for Kevin Harvick Inc. In 2008 he drive for Richard Childress in the Nationwide Series.

[bibbler227]

KHI 1-2

[chadloflin20]

To pull out and pass; and to pull away that far is amazing. I did'nt think that he could do it before the start / finish line.

Go Bobby.

[dhamlinfan11jgr]

GO bobby !!!

[NSracing1]

thats the old fashion slingshot right there

[chadloflin20]

Good to see Booby do well

[427BELAIR]

another awesome talladega finish

[mastershak3416]

I was soooo happy that stewert didn't win

[conrail1990]

I swear. I jumped through the damn roof when I saw this.

[HILARYFAN06]

lol

[nascarsmyworld43]

wooohoooooo yay Bobby you diserved that win......and dr jerry punch sucks when they crossed the line he was talking about where the start finish line is

[NSracing1]

1 of the best races i have ever seen

[funboy8]

for some reason fox anouncers are much better making races exciting.

[OlsonFan]

Slick move. Stewart didn't have a chance to do anything to hold off Labonte.

[robbob06]

horrible, horrible, horrible call by jerry punch!

[nadeau1064]

Yeah, unfortunately I'd have to agree. In a finish like that, your voice better go up an octave and sound a little like this: "Stewart leads, they're three-wide behind him for second, but here comes Labonte! Labonte's gonna make a bid on the outside of Stewart for the win, they're dead-even! Who's gonna win it?!"

[ejs1978]

That finish was about twenty times better than the cup race in which Jeff Gordon won the very next day.

[MissChickVicious]

when was the last time bobby won any kind of nascar race

[Zardoz99]

Look it up...give yourself a hobby.

[ejs1978]

Martinsville truck race in April of 2005.

[bobalbright]

BLab 4 life

[NAVGFan]

Bobby Labonte rocks! He's one of the best drivers to have ever raced, and this video shows exactly why!

[Stormchaser182]

I was at that race. Every one was going nuts!!! felt like the bleachers were going to collapse from all the fans jumping around.

[bobby43dodge]

Woop woop!!! Awesome driver pulling an awesome move!

[philinmaine]

great video. even better race. long time bobby labonte fan here.

[PsychedelicGuy]

One of the best BGN races in a few years!! That was some old school racing, a classic slingshot! Great to see Bobby win one, and great to see Tony got passed after he caused 2 crashes in the race, he sure loves controversy.
