In an effort to better align themselves in the NASCAR community, Bobby Hamilton Racing (BHR) and Arrington Manufacturing (AMI) announced today the formation of a partnership between its two companies. AMI consists of a joint venture between Mac Bailey, Mark Melling, Clay Campbell, Stacy Compton and Joey Arrington. BHR will continue to be run daily by Lori Hamilton with AMI management group. Accordingly, the company, founded by the late Bobby Hamilton Sr., will relocate closer to the hub of NASCAR in the coming weeks.(Bobby Hamilton Racing PR)(12-10-2007)
UPDATE: The late Bobby Hamilton developed a Craftsman Truck championship team at his Mt. Juliet racing shop. The shop is now headed east, and out of state. Bobby Hamilton’s son, Bobby Hamilton Jr., said his dad would not have allowed the team to move outside of the Nashville area had he still been alive. “He wouldn’t have done it,” said Hamilton Jr., currently competing in the Nationwide series. “My dad always said he wanted to keep it in Nashville because everyone told him it wouldn’t survive if it wasn’t in Charlotte.” BHR Racing plans to continue to field two trucks in the Craftsman Truck division.(Tennessean)(12-15-2007)
