WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. - Petty Enterprises' Bobby Labonte was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation following a hard crash in Sunday's Centurion Boats at The Glen at Watkins Glen International, but he has been released and cleared to resume competition.
Labonte was one of nine drivers caught up in a late-race crash ignited by contact between Michael Waltrip Racing's Michael McDowell and Yates Racing's David Gilliland. Labonte had nowhere to go and was slowing when he was hit from behind and sent careening into the retaining wall in a hard hit. He climbed from his car in obvious pain.
Bill Davis Racing's Dave Blaney, Chip Ganassi Racing's Reed Sorenson, MWR's Michael Waltrip, Haas CNC Racing's Max Papis, Penske's Sam Hornish Jr. and Furniture Row Racing's Joe Nemechek were also collected in the crash, which created a red-flag period beginning on lap 82. Gilliland and McDowell were instructed to meet with NASCAR officials following the race.
