Photographer Burned In Spencer Crash UPDATE: Bob LeSieur, photographer for Speedway Scene, was burned on his arms and face when Jimmy Spencer crashed on lap 194 and backed into the first turn wall. The car burst into flames and LeSieur wasn’t looking at the action because he was changing film in the camera. LeSieur was taken to the infield care center, treated and released. His eyebrows were singed and the burns weren’t serious so he returned to shooting for the weekly racing newspaper.(Insider Racing News)(11-17-2002) UPDATE: Bob LeSieur is the son of Speedway Scene editor Val LeSieur, who founded Speedway Scene more than 30 years ago. Ironically, their paper has covered Jimmy Spencer since the beginning of “Mr. Excitement’s” career.(11-19-2002)
