Gibbs fired Leffer today and they are bring in the older Labonte to be the temp replacement driver - Hendrick was ok with that. Labonte Bros. will be on the same team for a little bit.

That was yesterday. Hendrick is just continuing the help he gave Gibbs when he started.

Leffler was my biggest preseason-prediction goof. In 21 races, he went from my "comeback driver of the year" to the first big name out of a ride (Hermie Sadler, Stanton Barrett and Randy LaJoie don't qualify as such, at least at the Cup level).
