#71-Bobby Labonte, the 2000 NASCAR Cup Series champion, was spotted in Tuesday’s Grand-Am test at Daytona International Speedway in a TRG Porsche. Labonte drives Kevin Buckler’s TRG NASCAR Sprint Cup car and plans to compete in the Rolex 24. Labonte, who has three Rolex 24 starts, will join the defending GT winning #67 TRG Porsche GT3 in the 2010 race, co-driving with Andy Lally, Spencer Pumpelly and Tim George Jr. “Kevin really didn’t have to talk me into it,” Labonte said. “I’ve always been a big fan of the Rolex 24 since I started racing and I raced a go-kart on the same track back when I was 15. He didn’t have to twist my arm.” (Daytona Beach News Journal)(12-9-2009)
