Spencer Jr. Moves to Car Owner July 16, 2005

Jimmy Spencer Jr. has been a regular on the Hooters Pro Cup tour for the last two seasons. But in the Greased Lightning 250 at Motor Mile Speedway, Spencer moved into a new role on the Spencer Motor Ventures team as a car owner.

Spencer hired Jason Sarvis to replace him in the No. 36 Focus/Smith Transport Pontiac for the Motor Mile race. Sarvis ran in the top five for the first half of the race before finishing eighth.

"We had a competitive car tonight and ran in the top five the first time out," said Sarvis, who drives the No. 16 Naturally Fresh Ford in the Southern Division. "If there’s open weekends that I can drive for Jimmy again, and they want me to drive, I’ll be there."
