Wow, Bobby Hamilton dies ...

Man, I thought Bobby was doing OK after his treatment ... very sad to hear.

For those of you who may not be aware of Bobby Hamilton, he was a NASCAR driver and has always been considered to be one of the 'good guys' of the sport. He was 49 years old.

R.I.P. Bobby and prayers to the family and friends.

Oh man, I hadn't heard, he's one of the good guys in racing. My heart goes out to his family, I had thought he was doing better too. I heard that Benny Parsons is in ICU in Charlotte with throat cancer, hope he gets better.

RIP Bobby. I have heard that Benny was back in the hospital as well, but I had heard that there was no more cancer.

I thought that he was ok, but apparently not. I'm sorry to hear about this, I had no idea. RIP Bobby, you will be missed. I hope Benny is ok. My prayers are with the Hamilton and Parsons families.

Steve & I were shocked by the news as well. Bobby Jr. was just interviewed a few days ago on Sirius and said that his dad had some good days and some bad days and told of Bobby helping him in the shop a couple weeks ago with his late model.

Our prayers go out to his family.

Was very sorry to hear about Bobby Hamilton's passing. He was one of the reasons I had'nt given up being a fan of racing, really. An old-school, foot on the floor racer who could turn a wrench back in the shop. They don't make 'em like him anymore.

My condolences to the Hamilton family and everyone at BHR.
