#7-Jimmy Spencer learned that his trackside souvenir sales increased 40 percent over the three-day Bristol weekend as fans swarmed the Team SIRIUS souvenir location to buy Mongo T-shirts, hats and banners. If that wasn’t enough to prove the public’s affection, the deafening cheers of 165,000 people at Bristol Motor Speedway when the #7 SIRIUS Dodge rolled out was. Only problem, Spencer wasn’t there to see it.( Jimmy Spencer site ) UPDATE: Jimmy Spencer said a week’s suspension by NASCAR won’t change his aggressive driving style, but added that he has no intention to continue bickering with Kurt Busch. ”It’s over as far as I’m concerned,” Spencer said yesterday in his first public appearance since being suspended for punching Kurt Busch following a heated race at Michigan two weeks ago. ”But I won’t change the way I drive. I’ll still drive hard. It’s the only way I know to race.”( Tenneseean )(8-29-2003)
