NASCAR has lost a racer’s racer with the passing of Bobby Hamilton at age 49.

I thought he was a year or two older than that. I’ll remember his Craftsman Truck Championship, his win in Cup at Phoenix for Petty Racing, and his win at Talladega, driving for Andy Petree Racing.

I thought he was recovering from the cancer that ultimately killed him.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

He was an old-school kinda guy. I like that.
