TERRY LABONTE BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
Terrance Lee Labonte (born November 16, 1956, in Corpus Christi, Texas) is a racecar driver in NASCAR. His father had worked on racecars as a hobby for his friends, so young Labonte’s interest in the sport seemed only natural. He started racing quarter-midgets when he was 7 and won a national championship at nine. But once he tried the local short tracks in a stock car as a teenager, he had found his calling. Driving on both dirt and asphalt, he won track championships in his hometown, in Houston, and in San Antonio from 1975 to 1977. During this time he also met the man who would become his first big-league sponsor and team owner, Billy Hagan. A successful businessman from Louisiana, Hagan offered Labonte a job on his Winston Cup team along with the promise to drive five races that year.
Labonte’s first start came in 1978 at The Track Too Tough to Tame, Darlington Raceway. He finished an impressive fourth that Labor Day weekend and competed for Rookie of the Year in 1979 along with Dale Earnhardt, Harry Gant, and Joe Millikin. Earnhardt won top honors in that department, but Labonte was one of three rookies to finish in the top 10 in points. The following year saw him win his first race, again at Darlington, in September 1980. |
