Terry Labonte back for more

| | Comments (0) |

Terry Labonte will be driving the No. 55 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Labonte was in the No. 55 Toyota, normally driven by Michael Waltrip, for the Cup race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma.
“While we’ve planned to bring Terry back for the Watkins Glen road course event, I felt having him in the car next weekend at Indianapolis would be a great opportunity for me to continue to evaluate my entire organization from an owner’s perspective,” said Waltrip, owner of the three-car Michael Waltrip Racing. “The feedback related to road course racing that Terry was able to provide my team after Infineon Raceway was very valuable. We look forward to more of the same input after Indy.”
Labonte, a two-time Cup champion, started the race in Sonoma 25th and finished 35th.
“It felt good to get back in the car in Sonoma and while it wasn’t the finish I had hoped to deliver to the guys at MWR and NAPA, I believe we learned quite a few things in which we can build on,” Labonte said.
In 11 starts at Indianapolis, Labonte's best finish came in 1996, when he finished third driving for Hendrick Motorsports.
