Jimmy Spencer: Media Portrayed Me To Be A No-Good SOB
Ойын-сауық
One of the most outspoken drivers in NASCAR history lets it fly with Dale Earnhardt Jr. in part two of this much-anticipated conversation.
Dale Jr. gets Jimmy and co-host Mike Davis to reminisce and share hilarious stories of their time working in NASCAR together from almost getting Mike fired during his first race and the time he got punched out at a Jimmy Spencer autograph session. The two long-time friends also share their favorite Henry Benfield prank stories.

Yes absolutely. The best I've ever seen
Jimmy is the definition of what you call Real. He said what he meant and meant what he said
Years ago, some friends and I got full access passes to Talladega. While walking around the teams' big rigs, we saw Jimmy Spencer cooking hot dogs by his hauler. He was ripping a reporter a new one when we walked up. He stopped the interview, took the time to talk to us, and offered us a hot dog. After speaking for a couple of minutes and declining his offer for a 'dog, we went on our way and Mr. Spencer went back to a very animated (and colorful) conversation with the reporter. Good times and great memories- Thanks Jimmy!
Can Jimmy have a weekly-Nascar segment on this podcast? 🤣🤣 I love this guy
Dale and Mike I always love Jimmy Spencer he was a hell of a race car driver and then he had his show with ESPN fantastic thanks for the moment she brought me on your show

Listen to the full podcast - Jimmy reveals a few things. He believes he has Alzheimer's or at least is suffering the effect of repeated concussions. He talks about why he got out of broadcasting and now just enjoys his life with his wife and grandkids. It is kind of bittersweet. Reminds me of the last time I saw Sterling Marlin and how much Parkinson's has taken him over and he's still out there racing; I'm not sure Sterling could do a Dale Jr Download.

I named my cat Sterling after Sterling Marlin and Stirling Moss, lol. I remember Sterling Marlin running that Kodak car for Morgan McClure and it had some particular headers or something that made the car have a high pitched sound. The announcers called him "Nigel Marlin" as Nigel Mansell was in full swing in Formula 1 at the time. He won back to back D500's and went onto a good career, though to this day when a friend wants to leave the car at a bad time I still say "Stay in the car Sterling!" As for my cat, he was a big tuxedo longhair who was very laid back and only feared the vacuum cleaner. He went senile in the end and I had to euthanize him as he was no longer happy. I sat with him so he wouldn't die in a room full of strangers and it was the hardest thing I had done. I wish Mr. Marlin all the best, but I miss my cat.

I'm 26 years old, going on 27 in 2 months, and it is hard to look at mid 60's Jimmy Spencer versus when he was in his 40's when I started watching racing. Where do the years go man? It's hard to wrap my mind around.

Great podcast with Jimmy. Miss him! He seems to remember things a lot differently than Mike at times. It’s funny how we see things the way we wanna see them. Wish they would have mentioned how Kurt Busch hascompletely changed from the early 2000s, early 2010s. Kurt deserves a shout out.
Jimmy isn’t lying about the hamburger steak with potato and onion. My dad was good friends with Jimmy and we had multiple restaurants right near Jimmy’s family garage and junkyard and they would always come in and Jimmy would either order lasagna or steak with potato and onion. Every time.
Laughed my ass off on this one lol
Probably the best DJD series I have seen to date. Jr. let Mike and Jimmy take over the show and tell a great set of stories.
Damn. I miss guys like Spencer in the series! I didn’t know if I would enjoy this one or not but Mr. Excitement was well worth the listen!!
Hilarious! Jimmy and Mike cracked me up topping each other’s stories. Good ole days.
I just love these Mike Davis & Jimmy Spencer stories!!! Sounds like some really good times.
This was one of the best ones ever
Dale I realized that you let Mike run the Spencer interview which makes a GREAT BOSS and Friend. Thank and love U2
Wow I've never see this side of Jimmy..he's really an awesome ole dude.
Spencer is the $h!t. Love and miss this cat in NASCAR.
Fascinating stories!!!!
I always liked Jimmy. I've seen many times where he got the raw end of the deal by the media.
It’s nice seeing and listening to the men I grew up watching racing. Great storyteller… he needs his own podcast fr
I met spencer at watkins glen .i was like 12 .the older girls ventured off and came back to our site with jimmy freaking spencer!!! I remember i shook his hand and it felt like he crushed it! He stayed for hours playing beer pong.and dad made him some stiff drinks. then sunday shortly after the start his car blew a motor.. i figured it was a bit to do with a hangover 😂😂 i still remember that day like it was yesterday. Ty for a core memory mr spencer!! Edit.. that same weekend I watched dale jr in a teal suv just flying out of the glen and off to somewhere. Still Wonder where jr went
I'm really loving hearing these great stories from when I first started watching NASCAR. Those were the days. What a life Jr has led to grow up with all the oldies and the goodies, and the newer guys too.
Best interview yet guys! I miss that crazy SOB Jimmy! 😆
Damn, I love these, and really miss the good ole days of NASCAR...
I always liked Jimmy and his tales are great, but the Mike Davis back stories are priceless - who knew?
Laughed start to finish, great job on this one, could listen to these stories all day
This was really good and i hope Dale got some closure on what he said bc that was really rotten what he said and I really do think Jimmy is sorry for saying it.
Brilliant, please keep these guest and their stories coming
Jimmy Spencer has always struck me as a good guy. He is the regular at the pub that is always there
miss jimmy in nascar, outspoken in a loveable way and downright hilarious on other occasions especially with the crying towel and steve byrnes.
Funny comments guys! Mike and Spencer had a wild ride......watching Jr's reactions has been fun too
I hurt myself laughing
"Where my Friends Go?" LOL
Would be nice to have Henry on the show!!
I remember Jimmy Spencer back in the days and always thought he was a Big Cry Baby but he turned out to be a good guy. Thank you Jimmy

What makes this so good is that Dale just turned on the microphones and let Mike and Jimmy go 😂
This is fuckin great, this is what we want to hear. Not the bullshit broadcast we hear
When they tagged Jimmy with nickname "Mr. Wonderful" that was perfect!
Bruh. Soaked toilet paper with gasoline. Haha
I love ole Jimbo. One of my favorites.
Great to Mike talk never knew about these stories!
Jimmy was racing at Reading, Pa. Back in the 70's, was always friendly and very successful. I was a neighbor to Hal Browning and worked on Jack Carroll's modified. We were all happy to see Jimmy get a chance at the big time racing, but it just seemed that the fans didn't accept him from the get-go. I like to hear about him, especially the interviews with Jr.
Dale is such a good hype man. You woulda never thought he would be THIS if you remember him in 2010. He's come so far out of his shell.
OMG that was funny.....Tioga Speedway could get a little sketchy back then I miss that place.
Absolutely love this show. Please keep up the good work Dale Jr. We love you man beyond words you connect so damn good with all of us fans of Nascar and the whole community.
Hey I tell yall what one of my first paint schemes my dad did for me since I was 10 then..... the old #7 Sirius car from 03. Ran that online on the old papyrus nascar 2003 pc game for a while. 🤙 I always liked Spencer.
