\u201cI am really looking forward to the Whelen Modified Tour race at North Wilkesboro,\u201d Labonte said. \u201cI was able to race there at the last race in the Cup Series in 1996 and then went back last year in the Modified races there. With all the improvements that have happened there, I am really looking forward to going back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
