Terry Labonte, No. 45 Richard Petty Driving Experience Dodge Kyle Busch continued his dominant 2008 season as he picked up his sixth victory in Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400 at the Daytona International Speedway, which ended under a caution period. After spinning early in the race, Busch and Carl Edwards were side-by-side when the final caution came out. Busch was awarded the victory after several reviews. Daytona has produced some of the closest finishes in NASCAR history and Saturday night was no different. Several late-race caution periods forced the race into a “green-white-checkered” finish. When yet another caution came out in “overtime”, the race was over and Busch was awarded the victory after a video review showed that he was ahead of Edwards at the moment the caution light was illuminated. Bobby Labonte and the No. 43 Cheerios Racing Dodge team came home 13th in Saturday’s event. B. Labonte started the race from the 20th position. He radioed to crew chief Jeff Meendering early in the race that his car was “tight,” especially coming off turn two. After several air pressure adjustments B. Labonte radioed that his car could run just about any line on the track and he began to show the rest of the field that he had a fast car. As the track surface began to “tighten” up the No. 43 Dodge did as well. More aggressive adjustments were made and the car went from the “tight” side to the “loose” side. Meendering gradually brought the car back to a “neutral” condition and B. Labonte was able to pass a lot of cars in the lower line to finish with a solid top-20. “Well, we missed all the wrecks and that’s something in itself,” said B. Labonte. “Those last 15-20 laps was about the wildest I have been a part of. We were pretty good at the start of the race but the track just tightened up on us. We made some adjustments and the car just swung the other way. We’ve seen that a lot this year. You make fairly easy adjustments and the car just goes from tight to loose. It’s hard to find a neutral. But Jeff and everyone did a great job and it was a good point’s night for us. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will head to the Chicagoland Speedway for the LifeLock.com 400. The race will also mark the 50-year anniversary of “The King” Richard Petty’s first NASCAR start. Qualifying for the event will be held on Thursday night. It will be televised on the Speed Channel and broadcast on the Motor Racing Network (MRN) and Sirius NASCAR channel 128.
