LABONTE SURVIVES THE BATTLE TO WIN REVOLUTIONARY 99 Fifth Career Win in the SMART Modifieds for the former NASCAR Cup Champ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sophia, NC (July 7, 2024) - A wild battle in the Revolutionary 99 at Caraway Speedway in Sophia, NC, sees Bobby Labonte drive to victory lane in the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic. With two laps remaining in the 99-lap race, Bobby Labonte made it a three-wide battle for the lead. Coming off of turn two, there was contact amongst Labonte, Jimmy Blewett and Ryan Newman. Labonte was the only one unscathed in the battle, as Blewett and Newman recorded DNFs. “That was pretty exciting at the end,” said Labonte, who drives the Pace-O-Matic / Cookout number-18. “I was on the curb, there were two on the outside of me. I was going straight, as low as I could go and the caution came out.” For Labonte, of Corpus Christi, TX, it was his fifth career win with the SMART Modified Tour and his first with the series at Caraway Speedway, where he was the Late Model Stock Car champion in 1987.
