Charles Robert Hamilton Sr. (May 29, 1957 – January 7, 2007) was an American

Craftsman Truck Series circuit and the winner of the 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship, Hamilton owned Bobby Hamilton Racing. Hamilton's son, Bobby Hamilton Jr.

, was also a NASCAR driver.

Hamilton may be best remembered for two of his

superspeedway race run since the death of Dale Earnhardt at the 2001 Daytona 500 two months earlier. A physically and mentally exhausted Hamilton slumped to the ground after exiting his car and was given oxygen from a tank before giving the standard post-race Victory Lane

interview while sitting on the ground, leaning against the drivers door.

Early life

Born in

Fairgrounds Speedway, racing on the weekly circuit at the legendary track, where he won back to back Late Model Stock Car Championships in 1987 and 1988. In 1988, Hamilton won an unprecedented four races, in three different divisions, in one night, at Nashville Fairground Speedway. Hamilton began to be noticed within the NASCAR ranks after racing in a special four-car "Superstar Showdown" at Nashville in 1988 against Cup Series drivers Sterling Marlin, Darrell Waltrip, and Bill Elliott

.

NASCAR career

Days of Thunder

Hamilton broke into the Winston Cup ranks in a very unusual way. He was asked to drive one of the "movie cars" for the

Exxon-sponsored Chevrolet

, portrayed in the movie as being driven by Rowdy Burns.

1988–1994

Hamilton made his NASCAR debut in the

Richmond International Raceway. He made his Winston Cup debut in a "Days of Thunder" car owned by Hendrick Motorsports. He led five laps but finished 32nd after an engine failure. He matched his 11th-place points finish in 1990 with Filmar Racing, when he was picked up by Tri-star Motorsports to run Winston Cup full-time beginning in 1991, driving the No. 68 Country Time Lemonade Oldsmobile, posting four Top 10 finishes and narrowly defeating Ted Musgrave

for Rookie of the Year.

In 1992, he had two Top 10's and finished 25th in points. He began 1993 with Tri-Star but was released early in the season. He spent the rest of the season in the Cup and Busch Series, posting two Top 10's for

SABCO Racing to driving the No. 40 Kendall Motor Oil Pontiac Grand Prix

. He had just one Top 10 finish and left at the end of the season.

1995–2002

For the 1995 season, Hamilton moved to Petty Enterprises to drive the No. 43 STP Pontiac. He posted ten Top 10's and moved up to 14th in the final standings. The next season, he finished a career-best 9th in the points standings and won his first race at Phoenix, the first for Petty Enterprises since 1983.^[4] He also formed his own Craftsman Truck Series team and began competing in the series part-time. He won at Rockingham in 1997, but departed the team after falling to 16th in points.

He then signed with

Morgan-McClure Motorsports in 1998 and in their eighth race together, he won from the pole, leading 378 of 500 laps at Martinsville Speedway. He ended the season, finishing 10th in the points. He had another ten Top 10 finishes in 2000 and finished that season off 30th in points. He left for Andy Petree Racing to drive the No. 55 Square D

Chevy. He won his final Cup career race at Talladega and finished 18th in points. He posted three Top 10's in 2002 but suffered a broken shoulder late in the season, causing him to miss several races.

Although his Cup Series run in 2000 was not successful, he made history regardless as he joined

Craftsman Truck Series

race at Martinsville.

Craftsman Truck Series

Due to the injury, as well as an unstable financial situation at Petree Racing, Hamilton left the Winston Cup Series for the Truck Series driving for his own team, taking the Square D sponsorship with him. Driving the No. 4

Dodge Ram Hamilton picked up two wins in his first year on the circuit and finished 6th in points. The following season, he picked up four wins and clinched the championship, marking the first time since Alan Kulwicki

's championship in 1992 that an owner-driver won a NASCAR championship. He switched to the No. 04 in 2005.

In 2005, he started his Truck series season with a bizarre finish. He led the final laps of the 2005 Dodge Dealers 250 at Daytona International Speedway when

Jimmy Spencer

got by with a few laps left and the white flag flew just before a crash occurred in turn 1. During the accident, Hamilton passed Spencer for the lead. Due to the scoring-loop rules, before the accident it was initially believed that Spencer won. Spencer drove to victory circle, but not long afterward it was determined that Hamilton won; Hamilton was at the final scoring loop as he was in the lead.

Hamilton later won at Mansfield and went on his way to another 6th-place points finish.

He drove the No. 18 Fastenal Dodge for three races in 2006, but was diagnosed with cancer and never raced again, with his son finishing out the season.

Illness and death

On March 17, 2006, Hamilton announced that he had been diagnosed with head and neck cancer.^[5] He took part in the Craftsman Truck Series race that night, before starting therapy the following Monday.

Kyle Busch paid tribute to Hamilton two months later for the Truck race at Lowe's Motor Speedway by driving a truck painted to resemble the Rowdy Burns car in Days of Thunder, complete with the No. 51 and "Rowdy" decals, a tribute that Busch continues today in late model and truck racing.

Hamilton returned to the track for the race at

Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, with his family by his side.^[6]
