For Snohomish [Washington] native and NASCAR Busch Series driver Kevin Hamlin, returning to Evergreen Speedway to compete in tonight’s season-opening Speedway Chevrolet 125 will be doubly sweet. First, there is the return to his racing roots on the track where he was named rookie of the year in 1997. Second – and perhaps more important from his perspective – he’ll be racing competitively for the first time this season. Hamlin, whose first Busch race is slated for April 7 in Nashville, is sharing driving duties in the #42 car with Juan Pablo Montoya.(The Daily Herald)(3-31-2007)
