Editing Bobby Labonte (section)

===Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity===
====1990====
By 1990, Labonte had finally earned enough money to race in the Busch Series on a full-time basis. He founded his own team and drove the No. 44 [[Oldsmobile]]. He was successful, winning two poles (both at [[Bristol Motor Speedway]]), scoring six Top 5s, and 17 Top 10s. He ended up finishing 4th in the standings and was also voted the Busch Series' "Most Popular Driver."

====1991====
In the [[1991 in NASCAR Busch Series|next season]], he continued his second-division success by winning the NASCAR Busch Series championship with two wins, 10 Top 5's, and 21 Top 10's. He also won his first Busch Series race, at Bristol, then won again at [[O'Reilly Raceway Park]] in August.
In addition to his Busch Series schedule, he made two [[Winston Cup]] starts in a Bobby Labonte Racing car at [[Dover International Speedway]] and [[Michigan International Speedway]], finishing 34th and 38th, respectively. He won his first Busch Series title.

====1992====
Labonte's 1992 season was a successful one, and he ended up winning three races (at [[Lanier Raceway|Lanier]], [[Hickory Motor Speedway|Hickory]], and Martinsville respectively), but lost the championship title to [[Joe Nemechek]] by three points. That championship finish is, to date, the second-closest finish in the history of NASCAR's top three series (behind the tiebreaker between [[Tony Stewart]] and [[Carl Edwards]] in the Sprint Cup Series in 2011).

====1993====
In 1993, Labonte was called up by [[Bill Davis Racing]] to drive in the Winston Cup Series. He signed a contract to drive the No. 22 [[Ford Thunderbird]]. In his rookie season, he won his first pole at [[Richmond International Raceway]], collected six Top 10's, and finished 19th in points. He was also second place behind [[Jeff Gordon]] for [[NASCAR Rookie of the Year|Rookie of the Year]] honors. He also competed in two Busch Series races, winning a pole and finishing 2nd and 24th respectively. Also, Labonte continued to operate his main Busch Series team, hiring [[David Green (NASCAR)|David Green]] to drive for him. Green finished 3rd in points for Bobby Labonte Racing.

====1994====
The next season, 1994, Labonte achieved his second major success as a car owner when his Busch Series driver, [[David Green (NASCAR)|David Green]], won the championship. It was the second championship, and fifth Top 5 points finish in five years for Bobby Labonte Racing. He also ran in the Busch Series himself, making 12 starts and earning a victory at Michigan in August. In addition to his Busch Series exploits, Bobby continued running full-time in the Winston Cup series for Bill Davis Racing. He collected one Top 5 and two Top 10's and finished 21st in the standings, just missing out on the Top 20 because of [[Todd Bodine]]'s two-position points standings gain in the final race of the season.

====1996–present====
In 2007, Labonte won the Busch Series race at Talladega Speedway in April 2007, edging [[Tony Stewart]] to the line in a thrilling finish. This was his first Busch Series win since 1998. In the offseason following the 2007 season, Labonte agreed to a 15-race contract to drive the No. 21 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing in the now-[[Nationwide Series]] for the 2008 season. RCR's No. 21 team earned six victories in 2007 with driver [[Kevin Harvick]] and has earned two of the organization's four series championships.
