(AP) --  Former NASCAR champion Bobby Labonte has
terminated his contract with TRG Motorsports.

 Labonte says he is exploring his opportunties for the remainder
of this season in all three of NASCAR's national series.

 Labonte says he wants to compete for wins, which he's not been
able to do in the No. 71 Chevrolet. Labonte doesn't have a single
top-10 finish through 16 races and his highest finish this season
is 21st.

 Labonte was the 2000 Cup Series champion. His last victory was
in 2003 with Joe Gibbs Racing.
