Comments on: Labonte, EGR A Perfect Match? http://lead-lap.com/2009/01/13/labonte-egr-a-perfect-match/ Tue, 11 Jun 2013 10:38:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: leadlap http://lead-lap.com/2009/01/13/labonte-egr-a-perfect-match/comment-page-1/#comment-288 leadlap Tue, 13 Jan 2009 17:36:45 +0000 http://lead-lap.mikejsmith.net/?p=740#comment-288 I agree. The interesting thing is, I think, that what’s attracting Labonte to EGR is sponsorship. I think most drivers, in today’s economic climate, would choose a guarantee that they could start all 36 races with sponsorship, rather than run part time with a more competitive team. Going to EGR gives him Target (most likely).

He also is said to have some sponsors interested in him, which, if it works out, would be a bonus for the team.

EGR needed someone to fill the role of statesman now that Martin is gone. Labonte went from a bottom feeder to a mid-tier team.
