Bobby Labonte on joining Brewco Motorsports and Cub Cadet Racing:
“I’m really excited to get in the Cub Cadet Ford for these two races. They’ve got a good group of guys at Brewco Motorsports. Newt Moore and his team always bring strong cars to the race track. I really like Chicagoland and Michigan and I know that we’ll have the Cub Cadet Ford in contention to win.”
