They both did pretty doggone well for their first sprint tri. Most drivers today are very focused on fitness. Michael Waltrip did a tri last year and Tony Kanaan (who drives in Indycar) did the Kona Ironmana a while back. Bobby Labonte is an avid cyclist and, in fact, has put on several “share the road” charity events in North Carolina. I don’t know if any of this makes a difference with most fans.
