While the Chevy Silverado 250 has produced eight different winners in its eight-year history, one team - Bobby Hamilton Racing-VA - has managed to win it a record three times.

Bobby Hamilton Racing-VA has captured the season-opening NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event with Joe Ruttman (2001), Robert Pressley (2002) and the late Bobby Hamilton (2005). The only other team to win the Chevy Silverado 250 multiple times is Roush Fenway Racing with Carl Edwards (2004) and Mark Martin (2006)

Entering the ninth annual Chevy Silverado 250 on Friday night, Feb. 15, Bobby Hamilton Racing-VA, which has recently relocated from Mount Juliet, Tenn. to Martinsville, Va., will have Dennis Setzer in the No. 18 Dodge and Stacy Compton in the No. 4 Dodge.

Compton will actually be behind the wheel of the same Dodge that propelled Hamilton to his 2005 Chevy Silverado 250 win.

"We made a few changes on the truck before we came down and we unloaded and it's good and it's fast," Compton said. "It's fast on its own. We went out in drafting practice and I told the guys, 'I see why Bobby won with this truck, it drives so good.'

"The 18 truck is actually a new truck, brand new configuration, something we're trying just a little bit different. But that 4 is the same truck that Bobby won in. It is several years old and it doesn't have but six races on it and I think it's won three speedway races. It's a good truck and drove awesome yesterday in the draft. I'm pretty pumped. The way it drove as fast as it is on its own, we're looking forward to coming back."

Compton, who is part of a new partnership formed at Bobby Hamilton Racing-VA that also includes Joey Arrington, Clay Campbell, Mark Melling, Lori Hamilton and Mac Bailey, has always been a stronger restrictor-plate racer at Daytona International Speedway and sat on the outside pole for the 2001 Daytona 500.

"I love these places," Compton said. "It's fun to get out there and play the chess game and do all the parts of what it takes to go fast at a speedway race and stay out of trouble."
