1997 Texas 500 Jimmy Spencer Crash

[gbpckr50]

You can see in the on board shot that Jeff was turning left the whole time, not his fault at all.

[TonyPizzaro]

i wanna hear spencer give himself a crying towel

[Porygonseizureman]

Jimmy Spencer and Jeff Gordon, two of the most rubbished drivers in that race. Jeff rammed into a slowed Ernie Irvan

[robmerrill888]

WOw, for that track be brand new back in '97, it is really ugly.

[JourneyRaisedOnRadio]

@robmerrill888

I was thinking the same thing! It looked 20 years old already! lol

[robmerrill888]

@JourneyRaisedOnRadio I mean yeah a new track may not have any black in it because their hasn't been any rubber put on, but shit, it looks like Daytona.

[jbowling74]

Yeah. I remember this .I am a Spencer fan. No doubt his fault tho.

[KimiRaikkonen4]

Can we get a translation for what the announcers said when the were showing Gordon's LIVE in-car view?

[WW2obsession]

It was Spencer's fault

[firesyde424]

I know people get on Jeff Gordon a lot. And I don't like the guy either. But, this wasn't his fault. He went below the white line trying to avoid Jimmy Spencer. Either Jimmy Spencer didn't see Jeff Gordon, or he was trying to block Jeff Gordon.

Having said that, Gordon has done his fair share of dirty racing and has spun opponents deliberately as well. This is just one of the rare cases where it wasn't his fault.

[JZhunter94]

im a gordon fan but i do agree on your comment but every one loses there cool once in a wile

[backlinelover]

ridicules statement gordan is the cleanest driver on the track, whether you like him or not there is no denying that, Now both Earnhardt are considered dirty racers.

[zachtm4]

that was 100% jimmy spencers fault

[RDarth]

Just like every incident he was ever involved in.

[HaIIoweenKingDiamond]

good old days when cigarette companies could sponsor cars, I also agree JS should of been using his mirrors noway Jeff would wreck him while leading

[RDarth]

How did Jimmy Spencer ever get sponsorship? I don't think these companies are looking for fat, ugly, talentless assholes to represent them.

[ripchrisbeniot11]

jeff was in the lead by alot why would he spin someone out? thats just retarded.

[dragknee650]

did you even watch the vid? jeff went below the line to not hit spencer.

[ripchrisbeniot11]

no i,m just a gordon fan

[rockypc24]

i was there and i was 16 and when this heppend my dad was all like haha fattass just got spun

[gordo39432]

what I wanna know is:

what were dick trickle's parents thinking when they named him...? lol

[Violent2Dope199]

I USED TO WONDER THE SAME DAMN THING!!! HAHAHAHAHA Then I thought... was Cole Trickle Dick Trickle's kid ??

[nonostop23]

@gordo39432 LOL. i get it now :)

[RNGSR2010]

@gordo39432 this comment if full of WIN

[24GREGSZOT24]

spencer deserves it

[bigd2699]

these cars where the shit back then because the wrecks actually had visual damage none of this bullshit hit the wall at 175 mph and come out 2 laps later with a shit load of ducktape on ur car

[1515ericgreen1515]

they still ductaped a shit ton back then too!!!!!

[ecwforeverhardcore01]

Lifes>Damage on car

It's better now. The cards know are way more protective.

[masurra]

but not best at looking in his mirrors lol

[jthornton17]

jimmy spencer was best at this..........entertainment. wrecking and trying to help kurt by straitning up his nose for him.

[drglinski]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH dick trickle..

[Adamwinters]

Spencer is probably the worst Cup driver I've ever seen. He was decent in Nationwide, but a disgrace in Cup. I don't know how he kept getting rides in the late 90s.

[jeffgordonfan71697]

JIMMY GOT OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!

[vteclobe]

spencers smokin' joe car is the most beautiful of that area era, IMO

[tylertjp]

I always liked the Camel car too. Kind of miss seeing it, as well as many other cars from that era.

[BadBooking]

With the wreck later in the race, I have one question, "Is karma a bitch Jeffy?"

[ballsthatclank]

I guess not, Gordon won the championship that year.

[BadBooking]

I was talking about later in the race and that multi-part crash there.

[gokeman07]

what, you dont like NASCAR graetest alltime driver, Mr. Jeff Gordon?

[BadBooking]

That was NOT the point. For the record, I do respect Jeff, I'm not the biggest fan. And if you see this, you'd realize that little tap would equal something bigger later.

[tylertjp]

Except that this wreck wasn't Gordon's fault. Look at the in-car view and you will see what he saw. It was Spencer's "fault." I don't really mean fault, because it was a perfect example of a just plain "racin deal." But it was Spencer who came down for the record.

[harvick293107]

good "old" texas.... they re-configured that bitch after one race. lol

[Drummin555]

Jimmy was good, good ol country boy!!Miss that camel and winston car he had, awesome lookin cars

[guitatr1]

Im not going to try and convience you that Jimmy is a great driver but check his record sometime.REDNECK>>>Wis and poles in a threee major Nascar series.. An elite group of drivers are in that club.Two time NATIONAL modified champion.Say what you like..Couldn't you have said it better than,Jimmy sucks????

[guitatr1]

my hero...no more drivers like Mr excitement in NASCAR...You go Jimmy

[redneckfromtexas]

Jimmy Sucks dude

[nascarfanatic24]

You know, he looks A LOT like that actor, Chris Farely, and acts a little like him, too. The only difference is that Jimmy don't bust coffee tables.

[HomeDepot20TS]

Jimmy took a lick.

[jc2sexay]

spotter never told Jimmy gordon was there

[BEJAN92]

i love this video keep them coming

[JBOreo]

jimmy spencer never forgets.. but i think he forgot about this one cuz i dont recall him gettin even w/ gordon that year

[kingofrunescapepking]

it wasnt gordons fault thats y he didnt get even

[thebiff16]

He took out Gordon the next week, but unfortunately, Gordon came back and won.

[JBOreo]

o yea.. that was martinsville i think

[thebiff16]

Yep.

[XxNOTINGxELSEXX]

Just a mistake...

Always happens...

lol
