Hamilton victimized Shane Hmiel, a first-time series starter at the .75-mile track, who saw a half-second lead erased by caution on the 187th of 200 laps by Rick Crawford's spin in Turn 3.

The 23-year-old Hmiel couldn't block Hamilton's late charge off Turn 4, which came a lap after the restart and a split-second ahead of the race's ninth and final yellow flag. Hmiel, driving a Chevrolet, wound up .423 second - about two truck lengths - off the bumper of the winner's Dodge.

The victory was the second of the season for the 47-year-old Hamilton, who started third in the 36-truck field. Hamilton, from Nashville, became the first Tennessee native to win in his home state. His son, Bobby Jr., won Memphis Motorsports Park's NASCAR Busch Series race last October. More
