“Watching the No.18 BHR-VA team win at Martinsville was a great joy for me, partly for the honor it brought to the memory of my lost friend Bobby Hamilton and partly because Dennis Setzer is one of the most underrated drivers in NASCAR,” Dunlap said. “His ability to save fuel is amazing and his mastery of short tracks even more impressive. Many people had relegated this team to back burner status and thankfully, nobody in the new shop in Martinsville was listening.”
“Bobby Hamilton Racing, without a doubt,” Voda said. “Dennis Setzer is fourth in points and one of only four drivers to win a race this year. That win in Martinsville was so much more than a checkered flag and a trophy. It was a symbol of determination and resilience...everything owner Bobby Hamilton represented. As I stood in Victory Lane interviewing Setzer that day, I looked around...and I don't think there was a dry eye to be found. It was one of the feel-good moments of the year.”
Despite the variance of opinion on any single topic, there is a true consensus on the surprise performance of the season … Bobby Hamilton Racing visiting Victory Lane at Martinsville for the first time since their leader’s death from head-and-neck cancer.
