(Huntersville, NC) -- Bobby Labonte celebrated his 13th career NASCAR Winston Cup win in victory circle at North Carolina Speedway with son, Tyler on his lap and Joe Gibbs Racing's new associate sponsor, International Home Foods (IHF), makers of the Chef Boyardee line of products.

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. Its significant established brands include Chef Boyardee prepared foods, Bumble Bee, Orleans, Louis Kemp, Clover Leaf and Paramount seafood, PAM cooking spray, Libby's canned meats, Gulden's mustard, Crunch `n Munch glazed popcorn and pretzels, Campfire marshmallows, Ro*tel tomatoes with green chilies, Dennison's chili, and Ranch Style and Luck's beans.
