It's been an up-and-down year for Bobby Labonte, with few ups and a whole lotta downs. Initially optimistic at the idea of running in the No. 96 Ask.com, things turned sour recently when Labonte was excused from the seat, to put it politely, to make room for Erik Darnell. But he's back in the 96 this weekend, running a special pink car to highlight Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We discuss that, and also the Hall of Fame and other matters of interest throughout the season, including the way Bobby was treated way back when he showed up in Cup-level racing. It's fun stuff, and you can get an advance look at the car Bobby will be driving in Charlotte after the jump.
