Peter Goodwill Hamilton (July 20, 1942 – March 21, 2017) was an American professional stock car racing driver.

Hamilton began racing in the street division in 1962 at Norwood Arena Speedway in Massachusetts, where he quickly earned the nickname "The Dedham Flash".

[1] Hamilton won his Twin 125 mile qualifying race for the 1971 Daytona 500 driving Cotton Owens' No.

[1] Hamilton continued to compete in short track races, and won the 1974 Snowball Derby in his late model racecar.

Pete helped Chrysler's Larry Rathgeb[2] develop their "Kit-Car", a weld-it-yourself Volare or Aspen late model stock car that any racer could order from Plymouth and Dodge dealers.

[3] He moved to Norcross, Georgia, and worked as a car builder and mentor to many drivers on the 1980s southern dirt tracks, launching successful racing careers for Marvin Oliver and James Shepherd.
