Even at the age of five, Bobby Labonte knew he was going to be a race car driver. Folks that watched him race quarter midgets then in his hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas, knew, as well.

His older brother, Terry, was also a prominent NASCAR driver; the two are the only brothers to have both won the championship in NASCAR's top series (the other family pairs to have titles, Lee and Richard Petty and Ned and Dale Jarrett, are father-son combinations).

Labonte was the first driver to win both the NASCAR Winston Cup championship (2000) and the NASCAR Busch Series championship (1991). He also won the IROC (International Race Of Champions) title in 2001.

In his career he has over 20 NASCAR wins, 200 top 10 finishes and over 25 poles.
