McCumbee and Labonte set to fill in for Kyle Petty

Petty Enterprises on Tuesday announced its driver lineup for the No. 45 Dodge for the races beginning with the June 1 event at Dover through the July 12 race at Chicago.
Kyle Petty is scheduled to step away from the car at Dover to attend his daughter's wedding. Petty also will return to the broadcasting booth to cover the Sprint Cup races for TNT, which begin June 8 at Pocono.
Petty will return when the series makes its annual mid-summer trek to Indianapolis.
Chad McCumbee will bookend Petty's hiatus by getting behind the wheel at Dover and Chicago.

For the remaining five races, two-time Cup Series champion Terry Labonte will become a teammate to his younger brother, 2000 series champion Bobby, for only the second time in their Cup careers. The Labontes are the only brothers to both win the series championship and have combined to win 43 Cup races.

McCumbee previously filled in for Petty at Pocono and Michigan in 2007 and at Texas last month. McCumbee's best finish for Petty Enterprises came at Pocono (25th).
