My Take
Bobby Labonte is, to me, a quietly iconic figure from NASCAR's golden run. Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1964, he won the 2000 Winston Cup championship, a credential that puts him firmly in the sport's elite. What I respect most now is his second act: serving as an analyst for NASCAR on Fox while still climbing into a car part-time on the SMART Modified Tour. That is a racer who simply cannot let go of the wheel, and I find that devotion admirable. Champions who stay close to the grass roots of their sport earn a lasting kind of loyalty, and Labonte has it.
