Labonte's Passion Still Burns for NASCAR

Old NASCAR drivers don't seem to go away either. Either they get deals like Darrell Waltrip or Rusty Wallace or they keep getting back into cars like Bill Elliot and Terry Labonte.Supposedly, LaBonte retired after last fall's race at Texas Motor Speedway. But he returned to competition last week at Infineon Raceway. There he drove Michael Waltrip's No. 55 Toyota to a 35th place finish, two laps behind race winner Juan Pablo Montoya. He also plans to run the No 55 at Watkins Glen, the other road cource on the Nextel Cup circuit on August 12 and he recently did the pre-race testing of Busch Series cars at Montreal.
