Bobby Labonte leads all active drivers with six Atlanta wins.

I really hope this is his breakaway week. He's been on a bad streak for way too long, but I feel it's just a matter of time before he gets back to his winning ways.

[glock rocks]

I hope I remember to pick drivers myself this week. I forgot last week.

[glock rocks]

I agree. Bobby's one of the good guys. He knows tires like Dale knew air.
