USG Durock 300 - Justin Labonte Notes

Labonte/Haas U.S. Coast Guard Racing Chicagoland Pre-Race report

Justin Labonte, driver of the U.S. Coast Guard Shield of Freedom Chevrolet, will make his 58th NASCAR Busch Series start when the green flag drops for the USG Durock 300 at Chicagoland Speedway July 9th.

LABONTE ON CHICAGOLAND... "The win last year was really special. It was my first Busch Series win and it was done in my Dad's equipment. Looking back I realize how hard it is to get a win in the Busch Series with all the tough competition that you are up against week in and week out. You always have to be on your game; you just can't have an off weekend in this series. I think that when I get my second win I will appreciate it just as much as the first if not more because I know how lucky you are to be able to say you are winner. This year I hope we have just as good of a finish, this team really needs it. Last week we were taken out with a couple laps to go after having one of our best runs of the season, so this weekend we just need to bounce back and have another great performance."
