Bobby Sr. tells Bobby Jr. to move on

From Jayski-

That's the advice Bobby Hamilton Sr. offered his son, #32-Bobby Hamilton Jr., in regards to Hamilton Jr.'s ride with Cal Wells' #32 team. Ron Fellows, a road racing specialist, will drive for Hamilton Jr. this weekend because the team is outside the top 35 in car owner points and must qualify to make the race. Asked what he's told his son during this season, Hamilton Sr. said: "To find something else to drive," he said. "I mean, there's too many chiefs and not enough Indians there. They've got just enough employees to survive, barely get to a race track and survive a Nextel Cup deal. I think the world of the owner [Wells]. I know the crew chief and driver have a ton of talent together. Hopefully, they can land back on their feet someplace else.''

Craven did okay with this team, he managed to pin down some wins, and was consistently in the top 15. Rumors were Craven wanted an ownership stake in the team and Wells told him to forget it, thus he moved to racing Roush trucks. However, I think a lot of #32 fans would be happier if the younger hamilton did move on. He's not exactly the future of NASCAR, and he's definately not as good as his dad was. :)

That's a lot easier said than done. Unfortunately Jr has not proven to be a valuable commodity in Cup. Any of the top teams fighting over his contract? I don't think so.
 
How many phone books you reckon he has in the seat of that car? To save money I heard Call Wells made Ron Fellows use Bobby's seat in the Tide ride. Might explain why he qualified dead last.
 
Hamilton Sr has a team for Jr, I believe. Craven made a statement that he was the driver of the 32 tide car through 2006 last summer...not too much later, he was out of the ride. Sure he pinned down some wins, but I think that team just went to pot. Terrible, really. Hamilton, Jr, isn't that bad of a driver, so I really think its the cars. If Fellows qualified it in last place, then it sure as hell ain't the driver...that fellow can haul butt on a road course. if he had a decent car, he could win from the back, almost did in the 1 last year.

LOL
That's an advantage he has. The majority of better drivers are all short. :)
 
With Hamilton Sr. not yet able to lock up a sponsor for his own deal I'm sure that's good advice. HJr. doesn't seem to have the same fiery attitude he had in Busch. Or maybe he does and he just doesn't get on TV to show it. Either way Wells and HJr. could do better, if not together then apart.
 
maybe he could move on to sweepin floors at his daddys shop or somethin, his daddy was never much as a driver and i guess jr is following his footsteps.
 
Nah, he'd go back to bussing tables at the Courthouse Cafe, that he owns. Has anyone here ever eaten there? Springfield, TN, I think...
 
i think Jr would be better to move on....the driver and crew chief have proven they can run good together, and i understand that the learning curve is a lot steeper when you go from the Busch Series to the Cup Series....but these guys can do better than this....i think its got to be the cars...Jr isnt driving the same cars Craven was....i remember seeing an interview where Jr said that they were building all brand new race cars....apparently thats not working.

Id like to see him move on...Wells hasnt really done all that much in the Cup Series...and i think Jr could do something at a different race team....hell itd be nice to see him take Tide with him and go somewhere else.

I still think we'll see Tide on the 6 car next year though.
 
Hey put BH Jr on a different team and maybe we could see him step on TStewart, JJohnson, JGordon, Lil'E and the others necks and push their face into the mud (or whatever his ****y statement was just before his Busch team collapsed). :cool:
 
I don't see where he's all that good of a driver and basically is just another cry baby, blame it-on-everyone-else, whiner. Go back to driving donkey carts around the shire with Frodo.

You can bash a driver- just so long as it isn't a select few, then it's not allowed.

Welcome to Racing-Forums, ABG :)

True that. You can call some drivers a fa@@ot c^ck s*cking son of a b!tch that love to take it up the rear and you're ok. But, if you say so and so's driving was affected by a hang nail then you will be crucified by some on here. It's a way of life we have all come to embrace... ;)

Having bad thoughts again?

I don't have bad thoughts. Just remembering some of the arguments I got into when I 1st darkened these doors. Things have changed - marginally. At least the name calling has mostly stopped towards some drivers.
Hell, I remember not too long ago a 4 page war over spelling Stewart's name Toni and the angst that brought about. Along with calling a certain driver pretty much what I said.
But I move on...

That would be sweet! It would not hurt my feelings at all to see Viagra leave the series. I can't imagine the grief poor Mark Martin must've taken in the garage.
 
Pfizer is gone after '05 on the 6 car, that's for sure- there's been comments that they would not want a 'younger' driver piloting their ride. :)

I haven't heard any rumors on who's looking to go on the 6 car for '06.

In this joint stand in line buddy, stand in line.
I already had the Lil'E fans ready to lynch me and damn if the only BH fan in the entire universe hasn't joined in their cause.
Now don't get me wrong I liked BH Jr. in Busch if only for the comic relief. And I had hoped he would bring it to Cup as well. But, maybe the phone books he has to sit on to see out the windshield keep slipping or the pedal extensions aren't long enough but something just isn't working like it should.

I will have to show my admiration to BH Saturday night. When he was taken out, and probably for the Championship as well, at least he was smart enough to decline all interviews. Smart man, smart man. B)
 
Bh couldn't keep a cup ride. Nobody is knocking his door down trying to hire him. So he shouldn't be telling BH jr what to do in cup. :D
