In one quick motion, the hopes of Bobby Hamilton went down the drain at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Early in the 200 lap race, the driver of the McDonald’s Ford was forced to pit under green flag conditions for a tire issue. The untimely pit stop costs Hamilton two laps to the leaders and placed the Tennessee native in a bad position he would never recover from. The trouble led him to a 33rd place finish and a drop of 5 positions in the Busch Series Point’s Championship. Four of the five drivers to pass in the point’s race were full-time Nextel Cup drivers.
“We will put this entire weekend in the rearview mirror and head to Dover next weekend,” Hamilton said. “I have come close to winning on the Monster Mile before, and hope we can put the McDonald’s Ford up front on Saturday afternoon.”
The Busch Series will take the green flag in Saturday afternoon at 3:00pm on ESPN.
I think he will do well on the Portland Cement (not concrete, asphalt is concrete as well as portland cement concrete, the white stuff with joints is portland cement, sorry, a little civil engineering anxiety closet deal there) track. He seems to be a patient driver that doesn't mind staying in line, taking his chances when the odds are with him and moving up through the pack over long runs. This will play well for him in Dover I believe. Can't help those cut tire deals. It happens.
Why are they running Portland cement in Dover and it is not even cement but asphalt cement in Dover ?? Wouldn't it be better to run the natural asphalt from Dover or the cement in Dover already there??? Why go to Portland to get cement / asphalt???
