RIP Bobby Hamilton, who would have guessed he was only 49?
Hamilton, 49, dies after battle with neck cancer
Bobby Hamilton, the 2004 Craftsman Truck Series champion and a four-time winner in the Cup Series, died Sunday. He was 49.
Hamilton, a native of Nashville, Tenn., had been battling cancer for nearly a year. He announced in March 2006 that he was undergoing treatment for neck cancer. He immediately turned over his driving duties in the Craftsman Truck Series to his son, Bobby Hamilton Jr.
"He will be greatly missed as a husband, a father, a grandfather, an owner and a friend," Hamilton's family said in a statement. "We want to thank everyone for their love and support of our racing operation and the outpouring of care and concern during his cancer battle. One of Bobby's greatest loves in life was racing and we will continue on in his honor."
In addition to Bobby Jr., Hamilton is survived by wife Lori and a granddaughter.

Raines, Johnson top first preseason test session
Blaney gets Toyota going with pair of top-11 times around Daytona
If Jimmie Johnson was bothered by the splint on his wrist, it didn't show Monday during the first testing session of Preseason Thunder at Daytona International Speedway.
Johnson, the 2006 Nextel Cup champion who broke his wrist during a charity golf tournament in December, posted the second-fastest time in the morning session. Johnson sped around Daytona in 48.948 seconds.
Tony Raines led the session in the No. 96 Chevrolet, with a time of 48.920.
Dave Blaney got newcomer Toyota off to a fast start. Blaney had the third-best time in the No. 22 Camry at 48.978 seconds. Blaney also posted the 11th-fastest time.
Rain washed out the afternoon test session. NASCAR will allow teams to extend the scheduled three-day test to Thursday morning.
