In the year 2000 Bobby Labonte became my driver. I love his personality, humility, and the person he is. He has been my hero since then and still is. Loved the stories from him and you today! To this day I still rep the Interstate Batteries swag.

Terry and Bobby were my favorite drivers and after this fun interview Im convinced I made the right decision to root for Terry when I was a teenager then Bobby when he started racing. How humble Bobby is so refreshing in a world full of arrogance. Great job Kenny and I love all your videos. You always speak your mind which is usually aligned with my opinions

First saw the Labonte's in 1969 Portland Oregon Grand nationals, had red metal flake curtis cars number 44 , then just Bobby in Baylands California in 1972 , we all thought they had the best southern accent ever back then. GREAT PEOPLE. Always told my Mom n Dad look how well they did racing. Always been a Fan.

Hey Herm, Great interview with Bobby. Have to agree with everything Bobby said. One of my all-time favorite drivers. Being ya'lls age, I remember the decades of when you had car manufacturer wars, race on Sunday sell on Monday and drivers were complaining about Ford, Pontiac, Chevrolet or whoever's nose had more down force or whatever. Drivers, brand and sponsors went hand in hand. The days of drivers were recognized by the sponsors because sponsors could afford to put their name on a car for years. Back in those days it was easier for a fan to follow their driver on track or on TV just by the sponsors colors or car manufacturer. Now days, except for a hand full of drivers that have a full-time sponsor, it makes it hard for a fan to buy driver merchandise because the sponsor changes every week. Back in the day, I could tell you what driver drove what brand, what sponsor and what number. Now days, I probably could only list 15 drivers just by their number as drivers and sponsors change so often it's mind blowing. Will NASCAR ever get back to what I consider the glory days, probably not. Those days are long gone, times change. It is what it is. With everything wrong with NASCAR, it's still better racing than a lot of other motorsports.

Kenny, it’s a real pleasure seeing my ol legend’s, always liked Bobby and Terry, great humble guys who started at the bottom. Kenny, you are one of the ol legends also. I raced and know the price ya pay. I was the oldest rookie of the year in thunder trucks back in 2000 at LMS. Ron Hornaday helped me with my setup when the nascar trucks ran at Louisville. I got real fast after his help.

Several years ago you had a driving experience program. You had two or three cars there with double seats **for that. If you ever do that again it’s on my bucket list Kenny. PLEASE 🙏

Thanks Kenny for having Bobby on! He's been my favorite driver since I was a little kid. I lived in the Pacific Northwest and only once did I ever get to go to a NASCAR race (Sonoma in 2004). But I never got to meet Bobby, though I wanted to. So hearing his interviews with Dale Jr. and yourself is great!

Only if joe gibbs had someone driving that 18 car this year. They could run a throwback interstate batteries paint scheme from 2000 at darlington to honor bobby labontes 2000 cup series championship. I always use him on nascar rivals. He deserves more recognition for what he as done for the sport imo.
