Labonte going to RCR? - NASCAR - Yahoo! Sports
With 1) Bobby's contract expiring at the end of next year and 2) Bobby driving for RCR in the Nationwide (Busch) Series and 3) RCR adding a new car for next year, it seems like Bobby is not a far-fetched place to start your wish list, but isn't this starting the 2009 silly season a bit early?

According to R. Childress, Bobby is probably staying with the Petty's. I'm on the fence about the issue of Bobby staying with the Petty's but they have been taking steps to get better like moving to a shop that is closer to the available pool of potential employees. At this point I would be very surprised if Bobby makes the move unless performance really
tanks.
Here's one comment alot of people over look about Bobby and what he's doing in '09. Bobby's marketing company, Breaking Limits is General Mills Motorsports Agency. Yahoo, already leaked that they where a package deal being Bobby & General Mills. I honestly think, Richard already knows what Bobby's going to do. Plus, should Bobby tip his hand too early. Petty could remove him from the car, switch Kyle to the 43 and put Chad in the 45. Or do what JGR, did with the 11 car have a couple of drivers try out for the ride and the best finishing one gets it. Or the deal with sponsor General Mills, says he has to be the driver till the contracts up. Let's face it, the King's looking for a business partner, Kyle needs to retire, they have no one as replacement, and if they lose Bobby basically that the end for Petty Enterprises. So they are desperately trying to keep him and shopping Bobby as driver to get it done.
Now I always will be a fan of Bobby's no matter what he does. Personally, I see no reason to stay with Petty Enterprises (Sorry, that's how I feel), but if he stays I'll accept it and but would rather see him driving for RCR in a Impala.
