About this Custom Number paint

Bobby Labonte's Winston Cup career began to take off with his first win in 1995, but he still raced for the family team on a part time basis in the Busch Series, where he and the team had scored the 1991 championship. New for 1996 was sponsor Shell, taking over for long-time sponsor Slim Jim which had moved to Jason Keller's team. In 16 races that season, Labonte scored three poles and one win, the 320 lap race at the Nashville Fairgrounds. For 1997, the Shell 44 became a Pontiac and Tony Stewart picked up a few races in the car. By 1998, the car was a full Gibbs entry with Stewart driving the majority of the races, with Labonte and J.D. Gibbs each filling in. This paint reflects Labonte's pole winning car from the June Dover race in 1996. The Grand National Legends project is a series of paints dedicated to the most significant Busch Series drivers and cars of the 1995 through 1999 seasons. Follow me for updates: twitter.com/iam27paul
