Bob Labonte, NASCAR Racing Family Patriarch, Dies at 90

Bob Labonte, a former NASCAR team owner and crew chief probably best known for guiding the early careers of NASCAR greats Terry and Bobby Labonte, has died. He was 90.

Bobby Labonte posted about the loss on his father on social media Tuesday:

"This week, Terry and I lost our Dad. To many of you who knew him around the garage, you know he was larger than life. To us he was our Dad and also a crew chief, a mentor, our biggest fan, our motivation at times, and our hero. He and our Mom dedicated their lives to our racing careers and to our family. We are deeply saddened by the loss of our Dad, although we know he is in a far better place. We thank everyone for their support during this difficult time."
