Nascar’s Labonte To Honor WV’s Fallen Miners

Bobby Labonte will honor the 29 fallen miners in the Upper Big Branch tragedy by wearing a special paint scheme on his car during the Coca Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Labonte drives the No. 71 Chevrolet for TRG Motorsports.

The NASCAR driver is hoping to raise awareness and hopefully raise money for the families.

Labonte partnered with the Upper Big Branch Family Fund, started by WVU head basketball coach Bob Huggins, to raise money for the families who lost loved ones in the mine explosion.

Labonte has family in both West Virginia and Kentucky that work in the coal mines.

Pennsboro Speedway Reunion to Be Held at 42nd Annual Hillbilly 100

The historic Pennsboro Speedway Reunion at the 42nd Annual Hillbilly 100 at West Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells, WV is set for Sunday, September 5, 2010.

The magic of the Pennsboro Speedway will be alive and well as former and present racers converge back to the Mountain State for a trip down memory lane, paying homage to a true icon in the sport, the Pennsboro Speedway and the brave racers who accepted the challenge of besting the Ritchie County oval.

The Pennsboro Speedway was an important track in the history of our sport and of our racing heritage. The “Boro”, as she became known as, was the scene of history-making races.

She has been the birth place of some terrific careers, provided Cinderella stories for some and crushing twists of fate for others. She was also known for having some record breaking purses and was the setting for one of the most special atmospheres in all of motorsports.

Pennsboro always prompts some great stories when mentioned to anyone who was there as a spectator or a participant. This truly historic facility, filled with great racing memories, will be shared and remembered by those who were lucky enough to witness the magic that was Pennsboro.

The reunion events will include a fan friendly driver meet and greet autograph session with the legends of the Pennsboro Speedway. This will allow the fans a chance to meet their former racing heroes in a casual atmosphere where they can take pictures, get autographs and just enjoy recalling the glory days of the past.

Prior to the running of the 42nd Annual Hillbilly 100, there will be on track interviews and presentations. Also, there will be a once in a life time collector’s item raffled off, a framed photo of the legendary Pennsboro Speedway signed by all participating reunion legends.

A display of vintage race cars and lots of great Pennsboro racing memorabilia, and more will be on display all weekend.

For more information, participation questions, etc. contact Event Coordinator Robert J. Helmick at “pennsboro1j@cfl.rr.com”.

Watch for more exciting news in the future regarding the Inaugural Pennsboro Reunion details, times, events, and participants and be sure to make plans to join us at West Virginia Motor Speedway for this monumental event.
