DARLINGTON, S.C. -- Terry Labonte outran Ted Musgrave to lead second-round qualifying yesterday for the TranSouth 500 NASCAR stock car race.

Labonte, a former Winston Cup champion, improved from Friday's lap of 159.611 mph to 161.567, just a bit quicker than the 161.381 by Musgrave.

Labonte's second-round lap would have been good enough for eighth if he had turned it Friday.

Musgrave, who finished second to Bobby Hamilton in the 1991 Rookie of the Year battle, improved from 159.797 in the opening round.

Labonte and Musgrave will start 21st and 22nd in today's 39-car lineup, which is headed by record-setting pole-winner Sterling Marlin, who qualified Friday at 163.067.
