Bobby Labonte is a former NASCAR Cup Series champion who now spends his time … racing. Labonte is keeping busy with SRX and modifieds, as well as television work for Fox Sports. Labonte explains what keeps him coming back to SRX; how competitive the series is; getting to compete against the best drivers from all over; how this chapter of his racing career is different; why it’s hard for drivers to give up racing; Labonte’s relationship with the media as a driver to how its changed doing Fox Sports work; giving opinions and looking at the sport as a whole; how TV has changed his view or understanding of the sport; his first booth experience at Darlington with Fox Sports versus second one recently at Martinsville; the disconnect between what fans enjoy in a race and what drivers enjoy; if he wants to do more booth work; if NASCAR has a responsibility to keep former drivers involved; how to define this version of Bobby Labonte.
