DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series celebrated its 10th season in 2004. The year was especially significant because it marked the entrance of Toyota into NASCAR's national touring arena.

Hamilton was only one man who contributed to the latest chapter in the Craftsman Truck Series' statistical legacy, in 2004.
