SUN STAFF REPORTS

Reigning Winston Cup champion Terry Labonte has confirmed he will compete in Las Vegas Motor Speedway's 300-mile NAS CAR Busch Grand National race March 16.

Labonte, 40, of Corpus Christi, Texas, steered Rick Hendrick's No. 5 Kelloggs Corn Flakes Monte Carlo to a popular Winston Cup title last season. He'll drive the No. 5 Bayer Aspirin/Alka-Seltzer Monte Carlo in Las Vegas. His brother Bobby also will compete and fellow Winston Cupper Michael Waltrip also has committed.
