The 43 Days of Daytona -- 40th Place in 2005
Over the 43 days leading up to the Daytona 500, I'll be doing a short review/preview of the Top 43 Drivers of 2005.
----------------
Terry Labonte
#44 - Kellogg's
#96 - Texas Instruments DLP® HDTV
"Texas" Terry Labonte ran a couple of different cars for different owners last year. He drove the #44 for Hendrix Motor Sports in the majority of the races he appeared in in 2005.
He's going to split time in the #96 seat with Tony Raines. The #96 is owned by Hall of Fame Racing, the Troy Aikman/Roger Staubach racing venture. Terry will drive the car in 7 races with Raines driving the balance of the season.
In addition, Terry will appear in the #44 for Hendrix for a couple of races as well.
He appeared in 14 races in 2005. He finished 40th in points He pulled 1-Top Ten. His average start was 29th. His average finish was 29th. His winnings for 2005 in the NEXTEL Cup came to $1,202,520.
Terry continues to enjoy a long slow retirement...spending part of his time in Joe Gibbs power and part of his time in Hendrix power, that makes him a threat to win a race this season.
Do I think he could go win a championship? No. He's not going to run enough races to be a threat for a championship.
Do I think he could win a race or two and have a good season? Yes.
