Kingdom
Racing Names Davey Hamilton For
Indianapolis 500
Kingdom
Racing
have announced that they have
signed Indy 500 veteran Davey
Hamilton for the 2008
Indianapolis 500.
Kingdom
Racing is making its first
appearance at the "500". By
supporting Davey, Kingdom Racing
seeks to attract sponsorship for
the team's 2009 IndyCar season.
This will be Davey's 10th Indy
500, as he intends to qualify for
the May 26 race at the
Indianapolis Motor
Speedway.
Davey
Hamilton finished ninth in the
race last year in the No. 02
Vision Racing
Dallara/Honda/Firestone. His best
finish over nine starts in the
"Greatest Spectacle in Racing"
came in 1998, when he finished
fourth. He also finished 6th in
1997. Hamilton's career was
nearly ended following a
devastating crash at the Texas
Motor Speedway on June 9, 2001.
Until 2001, Davey was a regular
series IndyCar driver, with 49
starts and finishing second in
series points twice, in 1997 and
1998.
"I
will do anything I can to race at
Indy," said Hamilton. "I'd like
to thank Kingdom Racing for
giving me that opportunity, and I
look forward to a great
partnership with
them."
Kingdom
Racing is owned by Houston
businessman George Del Canto. The
team's premier focus is to win on
the track, create value for
sponsors, and to change people's
lives through race-related
ministry events. Kingdom Racing
has several sponsorship
opportunities available for this
Indy 500 effort.
"Kingdom
Racing's vision is to deliver
God's Word through Motor Sports.
To do that, we must field a
championship caliber race team,
as only front-runners earn
credibility and deliver value to
the sponsors' investment," said
Del Canto. "We believe that Davey
Hamilton's inspirational faith
and courage displayed in his
comeback make him the ideal
driver for Kingdom Racing." "We
are now selecting the race
platform to give Davey a car
capable of winning the race." To
this end, the team is expected to
soon have more
announcements.
