Will Petty team lose Labonte?
Posted: Saturday April 12, 2008 09:49AM ET
Petty Enterprises lost its sponsor, General Mills, for next year to Richard Childress Racing - and its top driver might not be far behind. Heading into tonight's Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway, Bobby Labonte is far removed from the championship driver he was in 2000 with Joe Gibbs Racing. Labonte, 21st in the Sprint Cup standings, moved to Petty Enterprises in 2006 to revive that team, but has not had the same success he enjoyed at Gibbs. With RCR starting a fourth team next year and Labonte's contract ending with Petty, it would appear an ideal fit.

Is this new news? Did the New York Post really have to print what is very easy to think will happen?
