Favorite Terry Labonte Highlight

Two-time Cup champion Terry Labonte has had many highlights in his career, but there’s one victory I’ll never forget, as the 22-time winner gets ready to hang up his helmet after Sunday’s Dickies 500.

There’s many victories to choose from including his four at North Wilkesboro, to his last win at Darlington Raceway, but it’s Labonte’s 1995 victory at Bristol that ranks as my favorite.

Labonte stood in victory lane with a demolished race car after he crossed the finish line by .10 seconds over Dale Earnhardt. Labonte kept in the gas after contact with Earnhardt and slid to the checkered flag. The victory also set up for a Earnhardt/Labonte feud at Bristol which came back in 1999 when Earnhardt “rattled" Labonte on the last lap sending him spinning again, but this time it was Earnhardt that came out on top.

What's your favorite Terry Labonte career highlight?

Right after the Dickies 500 when he hung it up. That's my favorite moment!

His victory lap with his brother after Bobby won the '96 Atlanta race and Terry won the championship.  That was the moment.  Also when he tied Richard Petty's consecutive start record and won the race at North Wilkesboro...
