Bobby Hamilton, Jr. Finishes a Solid Eighteenth at Lowe’s Motor Speedway

From a disappointing 31st qualifying position, Bobby Hamilton, Jr. and the Team Rensi Motorsport/John Morrell Off The Bone #25 Ford Fusion finished a respectable 18th in the Carquest Auto Parts 300 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway this past Saturday.

“Our John Morrell Ford handled well all night,” said Hamilton. “I would have liked to have been a little faster, but we had what we had and did the best we could with it. Charlotte can be a very tough race, so we are happy to walk out of here on a positive note and take some energy to Dover next week.” With the lead-lap finish, Bobby was able to move up one slot in the all-important driver points standings.

Kyle Busch won the Carquest Auto Parts 300 Saturday night under caution when Mike Wallace's wreck slowed the race after Busch had taken the white flag for a green-white-checkered-flag finish that took the event two laps beyond its posted distance of 200. As the second- and third-place finishing teams confronted each other in the pits, Kyle Busch was taking bows for his fourth NASCAR Nationwide Series victory of the year.
