NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow Debuts in Bristol

The much ballyhooed Car of Tomorrow will make its debut this weekend at the half-mile oval in Bristol, Tennessee. The drivers really don't know what to expect as Bobby Labonte points out in his pre-race analysis.

Teammate Kyle Petty and Bobby qualified 27th and 28th, respectively for the race (the Food City 500). Jeff Gordon got the pole, the first ever with the new styled cars. Bobby is hoping to repeat his strong fifth place finish from last year's race. He's in 17th place in the standings and only a few points out of the top 12 teams which will qualify for the "Chase for the Nextel Cup".

Here's Bobby discussing strategy with "the King", Richard Petty.



Best of luck in Bristol.
