The late Bobby Hamilton, the 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion, took pride in the fact his team—no matter the odds—never gave up.
The 14 months since his January 2007 death provided challenges that well would have sunk lesser groups.
Driver changes, lost sponsorship and a move from the Nashville area to Martinsville, Va., proved daunting, but ultimately led to redemption.
“Obviously, the emotions are running high right now.,” said Hamilton’s widow, Lori. “We all said after Bobby passed away if we couldn’t do it with him, then we would do it in honor of him.
“So to win at Martinsville, which is now our new home track in the fashion that Dennis did, is an amazing accomplishment for us and our new-found partners and family.”
