In honor of Labonte's 14th career victory, International Home Foods (IHF), makers of Chef Boyardee®, Crunch N' Munch®, Lucks® Beans and Ranch Style® Beans plan to donate several cases of their product to the Barium Springs Home for Children in Statesville, NC.

Barium Springs is home to over 30 abused and neglected children. The center currently serves as a school, home, counseling and social center for some of the area's underprivileged children.

Dan Scott, Director of Residential and Family Services is very pleased to receive the helpful contribution from IHF. "We always appreciate any donation or anything that can help us meet the needs of the children in our care." said Scott. "We have several children in need of assistance. Sometimes they get forgotten, but it's nice when people remember that we are here trying to do this work."

Bobby Labonte, is no stranger to charitable causes or trips to Victory Lane. "Winning the Brickyard 400 is such an incredible triumph for me," said Labonte. "There is an amazing list of drivers that have won races at Indy, and I am so honored to be on it. "When I heard that IHF was donating food to Barium Springs on my behalf, I was touched. It is so important for my family and me to give back to the community as much as possible. They are the reason that I am able to do what I love."

"International Home Foods is happy to be a part of Bobby's win," said Erika Obser, Marketing Manager for IHF. "But we are even more honored to have the opportunity to celebrate it with a gift to the Barium Springs Home for Children. The community is extremely important to IHF and when there is a chance for us to help- we do."
