Kyle Busch Motorsports announced today that Denny Hamlin will drive the team’s #18 Tundra in the Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway Saturday, Oct. 29. Toyota and Traxxas, the leading manufacturer of hobby-class radio-controlled vehicles, will serve as co-primary sponsors for the 200-lap race at the .526-mile oval. Hamlin, a native of Midlothian, VA., has won four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at his home-state track, including three of the last four, and has finished in the top-five in eight of his 12 Cup Series starts. The 30-year-old driver has posted five top-10 finishes in 11 career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts, including two top 10s in four starts at Martinsville. His career-best result behind the wheel of a truck was a third-place finish in the 2008 E-Z Go 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.(Kyle Busch Motorsports PR)(10-21-2011)
