Dale Jr. Download: Bobby Labonte's Rise to NASCAR

Bobby Labonte joins Dale Earnhardt Jr. on this week’s episode to dive deeper into the NASCAR Hall of Famers family history, successful career, and current racing endeavors.

Much of Labonte’s NASCAR career is well-publicized but Dale Jr. is curious about the path that led the Corpus Christi, Texas, native to rise from the shadow of his older brother Terry Labonte to assert himself as a NASCAR champion.

After the family moved to North Carolina to follow Terry as his career took off, Bobby began racing go-karts as a teenager. He tells stories about racing big events at tracks like Daytona and Rockingham. Plus, a story about racing in a late model against Dale Earnhardt.

Around the same time, Bobby began helping out his brother Terry’s team in the shop. He worked under “Suitcase” Jake Elder and even earned a nickname. Find out what his role was and why the name was so fitting.
