BOBBY LABONTE WINS IN WINE COUNTRY ON THE ROAD COURSE

Sonoma, CA | Race 9/32

For the second time this season the driver of the Interstate Batteries Pontiac for Joe Gibbs was in Victory Lane. Bobby Labonte held off Jeff Gordon who led the most laps but was unable to get past Labonte in the closing laps of the race. This was the first road course win of his career.

Mike Skinner continues to dominate the rookie class with his 22nd place finish.

There were no DNF's and all cars were on the lead lap at the end of the race. Next week the Winston Cup Series heads back to a restrictor plate race on the high banks of Talladega in Alabama. These races are wild cards and the action is guaranteed to be intense going 3 and 4 wide.
