Terry Labonte denies HOF gig UPDATE 2 maybe he will....: UPDATE 2: Terry Labonte cleverly avoided the question when asked Tuesday at TMS if he might drive a few races next season for the new Hall of Fame Racing team of Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach. "I'm not going to run a full schedule," Labonte said. "And I have a 10-race deal with Hendrick Motorsports. And I'm definitely not driving at Talladega." That still leaves some options. Labonte could drive for Hall of Fame Racing in the Daytona 500 and a few other events at the start of the season, to ensure the team would qualify. Labonte has a past champion's provisional. The team would build up enough owners' points early in the season to ensure qualifying at the other events with a full-time driver, who is expected to be Tony Raines. The team is announcing its driver choices Thursday at TMS.(Dallas Morning News)
 
Interesting makes sense for the team, not sure if it makes sense for Labonte, what kind of equipment will this team field? What engine builder are they using? Labonte should retire, along with Bill, running part time like this just doesn't seem to me to be worth their effort. Then again i'm only a fan who only knows what he hears and reads.
 
everything is being provided by gibbs. Engines, chassises, bodies, everything. at least thats what i know.

The equipment couldn't be any worse than what he's had at Hendrick. :sne:
 
More On Terry Labonte Rumors


Hall of Fame Racing's inaugural driver introduction Thursday at Texas Motor Speedway could be a double-feature. A source said Terry Labonte, a two-time Cup champion, and journeyman Tony Raines will be introduced as the first drivers of the start-up team co-owned by former Cowboys quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman. Primary sponsor Texas Instruments has scheduled a news conference as part of the inaugural Dickies 500 weekend in Fort Worth. Labonte would drive the season-opening Daytona 500 - NASCAR's Super Bowl - in February and the next four events. Labonte's past champion's provisional would assure the team of making the season's first five events even if the car is not fast enough to qualify on speed. Labonte is contracted to run 10 races of his choice for Hendrick Motorsports in 2006, including his final start at Texas Motor Speedway in November.(That's Racin')
