Since Jimmy Spencer doesn't have any driving talent,Aparently he got "the call". How else could he win a pole ?

Jimmy has been having a very respectable season this year and he has been qualifying real well of late. So, I am not that surprised but I did feel that a Gibbs or Yates car would win the pole.

Jimmy is much better driver than generally given credit for. He came out of NASCAR's modified division so he has a good background in learning to race on the edge. He has a tendency to not use his brain on occasion but there are a number of drivers like that throughout motorsport. Jimmy is a good guy and fortunately, his heart is as big as his belly.

Tim, I think McDonalds parted ways with him as a sponsor because he kept requesting free double quarter pounders w/cheese and super size fries from the Drive-Thru.

The story that I heard was that it had a lot to do with the qualifying draw. Qualifying was on Sat morning and Spencer ran early while the track was still cool. As the track heated up, the times slowed down. (Gordon & Labonte were the last to run and started 27th (?) & 15th.) Seems the Travis-Carter guys got a good draw and had it all together.

(The left side weight probably did help!

Todd and Jimmy seen to have the qualifying setup down, but the race pkg.and adjustments through out the race have been a little off for Jimmy and a lot off for Todd! I wouldn't mind seeing either one win! I like Jimmy because he usually says what's on his mind,I have been following NASCAR for 40 years and I don't like sugar coated,PC correct answers from the drivers! Thank you,Emfa.

40 years, eh? You got me beat there. I've been into racing for 40 years, just not always NASCAR. I took an interest in racing when I was 5, but I liked dragsters at the time. NASCAR became the big thing when I was about 15 or so.

I don't much care for that PC **** either. It's boring...

That's why a lot of "old time" fans love to hate poor little Jeff ,He's too clean cut ,Perfect,Boring. Blame some P.R. firm . Jeff's just along for the ride (he's a driver) and besides, Who among you can knock his driving talent ?

No talent, humm, won a race at Daytona, and Talladega, yeah, take no talent to win at either track, and this was when there were no restrictor plates!

As a 43 year fan of this series, I agree with 1togo on this one.
