Labonte's trophy dash

Track position paid off for Bobby Labonte on Sunday, as he held on to win the Virginia 500 under caution at Martinsville.

After starting 15th, Labonte had the No. 18 Interstate Batteries Pontiac ahead of Dale Jarrett, Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart for a caution restart with seven laps to go. While Jarrett and Kenseth battled side-by-side, Labonte used that to his advantage and pulled away and into Victory Lane. More
