Bobby Labonte, No. 47 Kingsford Toyota, Phoenix Preview

Long Way to Go and a Short Time to Get To Phoenix for No. 47 Kingsford Charcoal Toyota Team

AVONDALE, Ariz. (February 28, 2012) – - NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams hustled back to North Carolina to turn around the transporters for Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) following a rain-delayed Daytona 500. Today, JTG Daugherty Racing unloaded the Daytona 500 primary and backup cars to load Bobby Labonte’s No. 47 Kingsford Toyotas and put transport driver Dale Lackey and his co-pilot David Ott on the road again.

“While in Daytona, there were still several employees back at the shop getting the primary Phoenix car ready,” Labonte said. “The Kingsford Toyota Camry was fairly close to being done last week (before Daytona). The spare is already done. It’s basically waiting for the transporter to get back and make a changeover. Every team has to do the changeover with their race cars.
