Terry Labonte is one of the most versatile and consistent racers ever to drive in Winston Cup. Trophies have been presented to him in Victory Lane in each of NASCAR’s top series (22 times in Cup, 11 in Busch, and 1 in Truck) and at every configuration of track, including short tracks, intermediates, superspeedways, and road courses. He has been the champion of the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring as well as three all-star races: the Busch Clash (now known as the Budweiser Shootout) in 1985 and The Winston (now the Nextel All-Star Challenge) in 1988 and 1999. Competing eight different years in a series that pits some of the world’s top drivers against one another in identical cars, his name was engraved on the IROC trophy in 1989. Including his two championship seasons, he has finished in the top 10 in the year-end standings 17 times, and his top-five and top-ten totals approach 25 percent and 50 percent, respectively, of his total races. No matter what the future holds for Terry Labonte, his career has been one that should land him in any Hall of Fame.
