Gillett Evernham Motorsports Names Terry Labonte As Driver Of The No. 10 Charter Dodge At Pocono
Thursday July 24, 2008
STATESVILLE, N.C. – Gillett Evernham Motorsports announced today that Terry Labonte will drive the No. 10 Charter Dodge in the Aug. 3 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway.
Labonte, 51, the 1984 and 1996 Sprint Cup series champion, will substitute for Patrick Carpentier who is racing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race that weekend in his hometown of Montreal.
“I think anyone who follows our sport knows the caliber of driver and person Terry Labonte is,” said Tom Reddin, Gillett Evernham Motorsports CEO. “We appreciate Terry’s willingness to step in and help us out for a weekend.”
Labonte owns 857 starts in his career including six in 2008 with Petty Enterprises. He finished 30th at Pocono in June.
Carpentier is a veteran open wheel driver who moved to NASCAR late last season and is racing the No. 10 Dodge fulltime in the Sprint Cup Series. He finished second in the Montreal race last year and will pilot the No. 9 SUBWAY Dodge in the race on Aug. 2.
