While Tyler was happy his dad won the race, he was even more elated to learn that one of his favorite food products, Chef Boyardee had helped him get to victory lane.

"It's great to have Chef Boyardee on this year as an associate sponsor for Joe Gibbs Racing," said Labonte. "Everyone is excited about their involvement, especially my son Tyler. He didn't even want to wear anyone else's hat after the race."

IHF, a proud associate of Joe Gibbs Racing, hopes there will be more victory lane surprises for Tyler and Bobby in the 2000 NASCAR Winston Cup season.

International Home Foods, Inc. is a nationally prominent manufacturer, distributor and marketer of food products.
