“Last week it was announced to the media that Jimmy(spencer) had signed a contract for 1998 with car owner Travis Carter to drive the #23 Ford. After his Bristol win Jimmy remarked on national television that the team was still sponsor-hunting for 1998. RJ Reynolds, who also sponsors the Winston Cup series, didn’t let that comment hang very long, and agreed to sponsor the team for another year.”( Jimmy Spencer Page )(8-29-97)
