Spencer Wants Rid of the ‘Winners Circle’ Plan:

Jimmy Spencer thinks NASCAR’s “winners’ circle” plan , which distributes money each race to teams that have won in previous years, has outlived its usefulness. “They need to find another way to disperse the money to the car owners,” Spencer said. “A lot of car owners are struggling right now, and without sponsorship money they’re in trouble. NASCAR isn’t going to change the winner’s circle, but it’s the biggest joke there is right now,” Spencer said. “Even if I were on it, it would be a joke. The money goes to certain car owners, and it should be spread out to other owners that are 20th on back. Those are the guys who’re hurting.”( ThatsRacin.com ), what is the “winners’ circle” plan? see my Winner’s Circle page for info, money is a bit outdated but have not seen updates in quite a while.(10-19-2003)
