Jimmy Spencer having his TV segment was one of the best thing I’ve ever seen… Literally got paid for roasting people 😂

Jimmy was kind enough to hold the door for me at McDonalds in NC . He looked like he had a lot on his mind. Much respect.

Mr excitment is a legend. God bless that man

One of the most underrated nascar drivers. Incredible guy. Thanks for bringing him on

I cannot articulate how much I miss the golden days of NASCAR. Man, racing was great back then. I haven't watched a NASCAR race in years now. Shame.

Why don't y'all put the whole podcasts on KZfaq. I'd rather watch then just listen.

Spencer's stories are gold. I could listen to that guy and not get bored.

I'm an English guy who has never been to the states, let alone to a Nascar race, but I could listen to these stories from these old boys all day! I just dont believe in 30 years time we will be hearing the same type of stories from all these rich kids of today like Blaney and Elliot and the likes of Logano etc etc!

I wasn't watching Nascar during the time of Jimmy Spencer, but his personality feels like something Nascar of today is desperately missing.

NASCAR needs guys like Jimmy in the sport

I would sit and listen to Spencer for 4 hours. And he could do 4 hours. One of the best shows ever. Spencer don't hold back on anything.

I don't know why, but I could listen to Jimmy Spencer ramble on about his racing exploits for hours. He is absolutely riveting!

Jimmy Spencer's train of thought stays on the rails about as well as John Force.

It’s nice to see Junior clear the air with Spencer and talk with him

Just a good ol boy speaking his mind. Can't hate him for that. Everyone has a wild side just depends on how much they show it.

This turned out to be a really important interview. Can't wait for part two next week. Good on you Dale and Mike for making this happen. 👍

I could listen to Spencer stories all day long,old school driver who has seen it all,and will tell you about it non stop!!! 😆 LOL!!!

Jimmy Spencer wow ! I miss the good old days 80's, 90s NASCAR was king ! Jimmy Spencer never forgets !!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ❤

Jimmy Spencer was an excellent driver. He's loyal and determined. And Yes, very stubborn!

Jimmy was great for racing. Anyone who uses the third person during most interviews is entertaining to say the least.

One of the best interviews I've heard in a long time. Spoken with true emotion.

Ole Spencer, he still gets fired up 🤣. Old school racing, hell Dale Sr knew all about it...thats why I loved the Intimidator! Ya gotta beat the man, to be the man! I liked Spencer

The pride of Berwick, PA... Mr Excitement!

I used to help Jimmy when he raced his modified. He and his dad were the best and I think his dad won over 500 races .

Let’s be real, we all waited FOREVER to see Jimmy on DJD!

Jimmy Spencer is one in a million I really miss hearing him talking about racing Wishing everyone there well Take Care Guys

Spencer was one of the best from Pennsylvania, often misunderstood because he was old school, but he could drive the hell out of a racecar! No BS with this guy, I hope this cleared the air somewhat, Jimmy is a great driver, but a better person

Jimmy is a good guy! Loved watching him race! Junior Johnson's shop was just right up the road, back in the day you could go in and walk around the cars and everything that is when he was in the Smokin Joe Camel car! He is awesome guy and love listening to his stories!

Oh i cant wait! My brother was on Jimmy's pit crew when he drove the Heinz car!

Saw Jimmy come back from 3 laps down and win a Busch Grand National race at Myrtle Beach Speedway in 91 or 92.

I personally would like to see more of Spencer on nascar. He's always had a hell of a personality.

Hearing Spencer mention all those fantastic OG drivers is so great. Such a great passionate guy.

Interesting to see Jimmy on the show. I could've sworn that Dale Jr said that he would never be on the show. I guess things changed.

I love when he started talking about Evans, Cook, Kent, And Magic shoes….the good ole days. The “Northeast Modifieds “ were a close second to dirt track late model racing. NASCAR is a distant 10th lol

I can't wait for parts two three and four. Jimmy Spencer tells a colorful story.

You can bet the farm I will be listening to the entire podcast for Jimmy Spencer. Helluva great driver!!!

I have a new found respect for Jimmy Spencer! Miss him on Speed!

I see Jimmy hasn't changed at all love Jimmy the good old days

Please do your best to get Sterling Marlin on. It will be a tough but probably your most viewed episode.

Jimmy Spencer, one of the very few NASCAR drivers that didn't fear Dale Sr ever.

It felt like Mike was doing the interview with Junior periodically asking a question or making a comment.

How can you not love jimmy . He carries alot with him one of those things for me is respect. Great interview. I hope that he comes back for more. I'm waiting for sterling merlin . It'll probably never happen but I'm waiting. Good job kid.

A lot of people in racing liked Spencer...he got bashed for being to aggressive or causing wrecks, but there were a lot of drivers who were like that including Earnhardt. It never panned out for him when he went to Travis Carter...if he could've drove for Junior Johnson at the right time I think he could've won quite a few more races...maybe that's what Junior meant when he said your about 2 or 3 years too late.

I'd rather somebody be like Jimmy and John Force with no damn filter. Just be real, I'm glad to hear Spencer and Dale chat, good to hear people's stories. Nice to hear some about his relationship with Sr, I imagine Jr completely related about trusting his advice, and his word was all you needed.

Jimmy Spencer has to be my favorite all-time guest. Of all the drivers I’ve met over the years, he’s one guy I never got the chance to talk to.

How can you not love Jimmy Spencer? He’s such a funny and sincere guy who has such a genuine love of NASCAR and racing.

Oh man, this is fantastic stuff, just fantastic. Mr Spencer - So wonderful to see you again and hear these old stories. My wife and I were fans of yours from day one and you will always hold a special place of admiration for a true "driver" ... damn, you really shook things up when you came to Winston Cup. It is because of you and the clips they would show during a race of you winning races that introduced a lot of people to Modified's. Some folks came along for a while but there are those that left an impression and you certainly are one of those who left footprints on the sport while you were there. Can't wait to see more of this sit down. I haven't grinned this big for a while.

Jimmy spencer added a ton of personality to nascar. It's what nascar is losing right now. The Busch brothers are the only ones to speak their mind nowadays. On another note, remember when Spencer knocked Kurt upside the head? The good old days.

"we got questions about the 94 car" "well i got a story about money"

I love Jimmy Spencer. Brutally honest

I miss jimmy in nascar .. Love how real he was.. God bless you jimmy

Jimmy Fennig was a miracle man as a crew chief. He could perform miracles with an underfunded team. I remember when he was chiefing the Bobby Allison team with Derricke Cope and the Mane & Tale sponsorship, and he had them as a top ten team and almost winning a few races when you could tell they had no money. The Alison team went under shortly after that. Then he went to Roush, where he did have money, and led Mark Martin to his best seasons. But Fennig never had the big public image like other crew chiefs like Andy Petree or Shelmerdine or Evernham or Knauss, and he was rarely talked about, but if you were paying attention you saw he was always having success. If the NASCAR Hall of Fame is legit, Fennig should be in it. One of my NASCAR favorites. I always thought of Spencer as a 300 mile driver. He'd be great for 3/4 of the race, then something would always happen. That's why he had better results in the Busch series (and in his modified career), in shorter races, than he had in cup. I don't know if it was because he was a fat guy who wasn't in good enough shape to last in the days when most races were 500 miles.

I'm a native of PA Hughesville PA. Right down the road from Berwick . Jimmy is a wheel man.

Man, this is great stuff. Love it. Someday I hope the entire video archive is posted on KZfaq. Listening to the podcast is great, but I really enjoy having the visuals too.

A great interview thanks JR. What a piece of nostalgia and brought back many memories. These guys made NASCAR interesting with their unique personalities and driving. It’s clear that when they started leaving so did big portions of the entertainment we all enjoyed back then and really miss today. Jimmy is an emotional and loyal hard driver who is missed.

Lord let someone bring this man back to our televisions , representing NEPA and Central PA ( Berwick is kind of both ) to the rest of the country . Fun Fact , he also hails from the same area as 80s and 90s HS football dynasty Berwick Bulldogs , PA has racers and PA has ball players.

NOW, JIMMY SPENCER WAS A REAL RACER. ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

I could listen to Jimmy tell story's for days lol That was one of the best shows iv seen. Very entertaining hahaha

love Jimmy speaks his mind and not pandering to anyone,!!!!!

Wish I'd known more about J.S. earlier in his career I'd have been a big fan of his, I am now for sure ‼️ Loved the looks on your face D. Jr you really got into the stories ‼️🤘

Jimmy Spencer was arguably the best modified driver ever! When he came to our local track Holland &Lancaster he dominated!

Dang what a great interview. Growing up in Talladega, Al I met a lot of these guys back in the 90's when racing was still really racing. That is why I love this podcast.

I was hoping for Jimmy to bring back the crying towel like Nascar Race Hub.

I loved Jimmy Spencer. One of a kind… old school….

These are priceless! This is the era I was neck deep in NASCAR and remember bits and pieces of all these stories. Thanks so much for the trips down memory lane.

Always liked Jimmy, I've got a couple limited edition die cast cars with tobacco sponsorship.

Great podcast Dale , always liked jimmy Spencer

I always liked Jimmy but, you can tell he's still feeling the effects off the multiple concussions he's endured. Some of the hardest hits you'll ever see, NO soft walls then.

People including myself are now searching for that video and are completely happy watching classic JS back when NASCAR was fun and exciting. Thank you JS for the awesome memories

Can't tell you guys how long I've been waiting for Mr. E to be on the show! Hope you guys had a great time talking to him, and hopefully Dale Jr feels better about the 2001 comment now too :)

"my fat ass was wore out!" haha We need a Jimmy Spencer.

Love Jimmy he drove hard every time even in some junk cars.

I am from Upstate NY and remember going to Stafford Springs, CT with my grandfather seeing Jimmy race. the good ole days!

I love to listen to people like this talk. If you don’t like it then why are you even watching? Let these guys tell their story. I’m here to listen and I love every min, every detail. That’s what makes it for me

I met Jimmy Spencer at an autograph session the first year they raced at Kansas. Hell of a nice guy.

Love Jimmy Spencer. His passion and honesty is what's been missing from today's NASCAR. It's been vanilla for too long. Get rid of the playoffs and bring back the importance of each race result so drivers can shine.

Damn a lot of drivers really open up on this show . Good stuff. Dale Jr was made for this show.

This is a great place to tell my story. I was a guest of Siemens at Bristol, their Busch driver was Scott Wimmer. Spencer was driving the orange yellow freight car. Saturday night Spencer defeated Wimmer by half a car length. Sunday before thr cup race we had a Q&A with Wimmer, somebody asked "Why didn't you just knock Jimmy out of the way"? Wimmer gave some non answer platitude. I think Spencer had him beat before the race ever started.

I got to meet jimmy at altamont raceway in tracy ca. Truly a gentleman with a helluva sense of humor. This was back in 2000-2001, we had a great laugh about the day he gave ol kurt a attitude adjustment. That same note also had Greg biffle, stering marlin and Matt Kenneth. They were all great people. They drew 4 cars from our weekly late models and had 2 exhibition races, but they helped all of the teams with advice and just hung out in the pits with us all nite. I was a crew member on both a super stock and late model teams. There were a bunch of nascar people there that nite as it was a Sears Point (sonoma) weekend. Wish our boys could run against them though, but I guess they couldn't risk getting hurt on a sat nite with race day on sun, but we had a few drivers that would of given those guys a run for there money. Thanks for all the fun times jimmy, hey dont you go race in Tony's srx, you and Tony could go back and forth, you both have the the same " dont f#%^ with me attitude", plus it's just cool seeing the OGs going at, I'm sure that they would make a spot for ya go do it man

It’s great you have Jimmy on here so the folks can hear the real side of the stories. Great guest an one of the memorable drivers from the not so distant past.

Thank you Dale. I love these old stories. I've been a fan for years. Love Spencer. Keep up the great work.

Love it, It was great. One of the best interview could listen to Jimmy all day man great stories good job. 👍🏾

Jimmy Spencer is such an entertaining driver and person

Dirty Mo and the guest you guys bring on fill my soul. These episodes really are that important to me. Thank you

Jimmy Spencer talking about being broke multiple times, while wearing a Rolex Submariner, is a great sign of reliance and perseverance!

Jr just love your interview this year, knocking it out of the park man .great job

Very good to see these two talking cordially. Both both good people

l know i have said it before but these shows get better every week . thank you dale and everyone involved .

Brad Teague is one of my relatives. I think he still owns an auto shop in Johnson City.

Thanks for this interview with Jimmy Spencer one of the best just because he just tells it how it is. Cant wait to hear the rest of it

Loved watching this guy race! Best guest EVER!! Needs his own podcast. He's got the memory of an elephant. Love these stories!

I use to watch Jimmy in the 80s in Owego NY at Shangri-La Speedway. That man could wheel a modified. High and wide and on the outside. However he was a hot headed M/F

I’ve always loved Jimmy! Great stories.

I agree nascar needs ppl like Spencer. I love hearing old stories from the ppl that lived it! Thanks dale for doing this show! Love it!!! And Go Johnson!! Lol

I miss Uncle Jimmy Spencer

J.S should be racing SRX Tony get him in ONE

Fantastic interview! Looking forward to the second half.

If there was a Jimmy Spencer on the track today nascar wouldn't be so routine

Speeeeeence.. miss him around.

Jimmy cracked Kurt and I don’t care.
