NASCAR Driver Bobby Hamilton Dies Of Cancer

POSTED: 7:12 pm EST January 7, 2007

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Longtime NASCAR driver Bobby Hamilton, who won the 2001 Talladega 500 and was the 2004 Craftsman Truck Series champion, died Sunday of cancer. That's according to family friend Liz Allison, who co-hosted a radio show with Hamilton.

Hamilton was diagnosed with head and neck cancer last February. A malignant growth was found when swelling from dental surgery did not go down.

He raced in the season's first three events, with a best finish of 14th at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He then turned over the wheel to his son, Bobby Hamilton Jr. The senior Hamilton then started chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

Bobby Hamilton was 49.
