Text Box: Labonte Brings Home Top Ten Finish at Clash Bash Pine Hall, NC: Justin Labonte, driver of the #44 Dodge, ended his first full season in the Carolina Clash right, with a 10th place finish in the Clash Bash at 311 Fastrack in Pine Hall, NC. This finish was good enough to move Labonte up to 8th in the overall point’s standings. The Carolina Clash wanted to make sure they put on a show for their fans with two nights full of racing. Friday night the 34 drivers took to the track to try to make the 24 car field. Labonte qualified 14th overall. With only a few cars making the main field through qualifying Labonte raced in one of four heat races. With a strong car Labonte held on to third place until the last lap when he got stuck on the outside on the final lap and brought in a 4th place finish. This put him on the pole for the second B Main race. Labonte finished 3rd in this twelve lap race, putting him starting 18th for the main event. “We knew going into this weekend it was going to be a lot of tough racing,” said Labonte. “There are a lot of really good cars here.” When the A Main race began Labonte wasted no time moving up through the field. At the half way point Labonte was running 14th and continued to move up. With twenty laps to go he was running in 11th. Labonte was able to make a move on the outside and move into 10th with ten laps to go. It was a battle to the end of this 60 lap race but he was able to hold on to his position, finishing 10th. “I am pretty happy with the way it drove,” Labonte commented. “We were trying a totally different setup and it seemed to work. A top ten finish was a great way to end the season.”
