Frank Kerr will remain with the #47 JTG/Daugherty Cup team as crew chief for Bobby Labonte, team owner Tad Geschickter confirmed Saturday. Kerr has served as crew chief for Marcos Ambrose, who is leaving the team at the end of the season to drive the #9 Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports. Labonte, the 2000 Cup champion, was hired to replace Ambrose. Labonte and Kerr tested recently at Gresham Motorsports Park in Jefferson, Ga., and were pleased with the results. ‘We did hit it off really well,’Â Labonte said. ‘Hes a hard worker, and theyve got a good, solid foundation. Im looking forward to hopefully being able to step right in and pick up where theyre at today and hopefully just improve, just because thats what everybody wants to do.’Â(Sporting News)(10-10-2010)
