Behind the wheel of the Team Rensi Motorsports McDonald's Ford Fusion will be the son of Hamilton, Sr., Bobby Hamilton, Jr. The McDonald’s Ford has been redesigned to carry the identical paint scheme of the car Hamilton, Sr. drove to his final Cup victory in 2001 at Talladega Super Speedway. On that special day in April, Hamilton, Sr. drove the No. 55 Square D sponsored car for team owner Andy Petree to victory lane. Team Rensi Motorsports President Ronnie Russell was a long time friend of Bobby Hamilton, Sr. “Bobby was a very special person and he helped me and Team Rensi Motorsports grow over the years. With the return of Bobby, Jr. to Team Rensi Motorsports, we felt this was the perfect opportunity to honor his father's accomplishments in NASCAR. Everyone at Team Rensi Motorsports is excited about seeing the car on the track in Daytona Beach. With Bobby, Jr. behind the wheel, we feel strongly that the car will be in the lead pack all afternoon.” Team Rensi Motorsports co-owner, Gary Weisbaum worked with Bobby Hamilton, Sr. at Petty Enterprises. “We are proud to be running this commemorative scheme at Daytona and would like to thank McDonalds and all of their business partners for allowing this to happen. Ronnie Russell and I had the opportunity to work with Bobby Sr. when he was driving for Richard Petty in the 90's and we were there for his first Cup win at Phoenix. He will be missed." Team Rensi Motorsports will offer special t-shirts and hats with the car design for sale at the track. The items will be available on the Busch All-Stars souvenir trailer at Daytona International Speedway. Race fans may also order by calling 1-828-456-8228. A donation to cancer research will be made following the sale of these items. Team Rensi Motorsports would also like to encourage race fans to make a donation to their preferred cancer research charity in the name of Bobby Hamilton, Sr. To learn more about Team Rensi Motorsports, please visit us on the World Wide Web at www.teamrensimotorsports.com.

I wish they'd run Bobby Sr's Country Time car from his rookie year in 1991. I remember that well as I was a senior in high school back then (can't believe that was 16 years ago).
