Quick Facts
• Owner of three NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series entries, including the No.
18 Dickies Dodge Ram driven by Chad Chaffin, the No. 8 Dodge Ram driven by
Bill Lester and the No. 4 Square D Dodge Ram driven by Hamilton.
• In only 24 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts, Hamilton has two wins,
five top-five and eight top-10 finishes.
• Hamilton has four career NASCAR Winston Cup Series victories at four
distinctly different tracks: Talladega, Ala. (Apr. 22, 2001); Phoenix
(Oct. 27, 1996); Rockingham, N.C. (Oct. 27, 1997); and Martinsville, Va.
(April 20, 1998).
• In only his first season with Andy Petree Racing, Hamilton won the
Talladega 500 (Apr. 22, 2001) claiming the first victory for sponsor
Square D and APR.
• In the Pennzoil 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway (Nov. 12, 2000),
Hamilton celebrated his 300th career NASCAR Winston Cup Series start. On
the same day Hamilton’s son, Bobby Hamilton, Jr. took his first career
Winston Cup Series start.
• Hamilton earned his first Winston Cup victory in 1996 and became the
first driver to win in a Petty Enterprise’s car since Richard Petty won in

ten top-10s en route to notching the 14th spot in the final points
standings.
• In 1991 he earned NASCAR Winston Cup Series’ Rookie-of-the-Year honors.
