Mind-blower

Both Labonte brothers are entered in Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway, their home track.

Neither have enough owner points to get into the race if they're slow in Friday's qualifying. (Bobby is 36th; Terry's No. 44 is making its first appearance of the season.)

The problem: Bobby has first dibs on the past champion's provisional. He won his Cup title in 2000. Terry won the second of his two in 1996. The tie goes to the guy with the newer championship trophy on the mantel.

When Terry was driving the No. 96 earlier this season, he needed that hall pass three times in five races. So does this mean Terry Labonte might miss the race at Texas? Yep, maybe so. I wouldn't want to be at Thanksgiving dinner if Terry got bumped by his own brother.
