Labonte Joins Motor Racing Network at Darlington

Motor Racing Network will add another NASCAR Hall of Famer to its 50-year long list of guest analysts during Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Sport Clips Haircuts VFW 200 at Darlington Raceway, when  2020 inductee Bobby Labonte handles the role of guest analyst in the MRN booth.

"I am really looking forward to joining the MRN booth for this weekend’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Darlington, it's something I've wanted to do," said Labonte. "I still love racing and have always loved racing, so to have the opportunity to talk about it live while it's happening is going to be really fun for me."

Labonte is no stranger to success at “The Track Too Tough to Tame.” The 1991 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion has a pair of series wins at Darlington. He also won the 2000 Southern 500 on his way to the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship that year.

He joins an illustrious list of NASCAR Hall of Fame Inductees who have worked a broadcast for Motor Racing Network, including drivers Ned Jarrett (Class of 2011), Rusty Wallace (Class of 2013), Dale Jarrett (Class of 2014), Benny Parsons (Class of 2017) and Bobby Labonte (Class of 2020), along with Squire-Hall Media Award recipients Barney Hall (2013), Ken Squier (2013) and Chris Economaki (2014).
