Hamlin Hoping to Drive #42 this Year:

Kevin Hamlin said he hopes Chip Ganassi Racing can put him in its #42 Busch car later this season. Hamlin is under contract to Ganassi as a development driver but hasn’t raced this season. “The plan was to put together another ride for me, and Casey [Mears has] been running it,” Hamlin said. “They’re working on getting some funding put together for the 42 car this year, and then, hopefully, run it full time next year. We’ll just see what happens.”(NASCAR Scene)(06-15-2006)
