Bobby Hamilton Jr. has three cars racing in two different cities this weekend, and while he enjoys his ownership role, he still wishes he was driving. Hamilton Jr. is a co-owner of #24-Rensi-Hamilton Racing, which fields a car for Eric McClure in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. That shop is in North Carolina, and Hamilton Jr. is more of an investor in that organization. He is much more involved in his two Hamilton Racing cars running this weekend. Across from the Nationwide Series garage of McClure at Talladega, Hamilton Jr. stood Thursday in the Automobile Racing Club of America garage overlooking the car he owns for Chase Mattioli. That ARCA car was built in Hamilton Jr.s Nashville, Tenn., shop, as well as the Camping World East Series car he fields for Kristin Bumbera, who will race Saturday at Tri-County Motor Speedway in North Carolina. The 31-year-old Hamilton Jr., who hasn’t raced this season, has mixed emotions when he sees his cars pull out on the track. Hamilton Jr. just doesnt want to drive for himself. He doesnt want to worry about being the boss and driver at the same time, concerned about budgets and personnel as hes racing. Hamilton Jr. would like to see Hamilton Racing grow to a Nationwide Series team or Camping World Truck Series team.(Scene Daily)(4-24-2009)
