Bobby Hamilton executed a dramatic, high-groove pass on leader David Starr with eight laps remaining to win Saturday's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Toyota Tundra 200 race at Nashville Superspeedway.

Hamilton, driving a Dodge, ran a conservative pace through much of the 150-lap, 200-mile event, refusing to show his truck's full potential to his rivals.

But Hamilton, who started 15th and was fifth or higher from lap 40, had Starr's Chevrolet in his sights when the race restarted from the fifth and final caution. He pulled outside Starr entering the 1.333-mile concrete speedway's first turn and the pair ran side-by-side down the backstretch.

Hamilton was able to brake later than Starr entering the third turn then pulled away to his fourth victory of the season. His final margin was .795 second - about three truck lengths. More
