A malignant tumor was discovered after dental surgery in which swelling did not go down.
Liz Allison, family friend and widow of NASCAR driver Davey Allison, said of her good friend, "The thing I loved about Bobby Sr. so much is that he treated everybody the same. It didn't matter if you were one of the drivers he competed against or a fan he'd never laid eyes on before.
"He didn't have a pretentious bone in his body. I think that's why people were drawn to him. He was just very real and had a way of relating to everyone."
Bobby Hamilton is survived by his wife, Lori, son Bobby Jr. and a granddaughter.
