Foundational Bricks—The 1994 Brickyard 400: 34th, Jimmy Spencer

Join me as I take a look back every Monday at the starting lineup for one of the biggest races in NASCAR history, the inaugural Brickyard 400. 


Starting 34th: Jimmy Spencer #27 McDonalds Junior Johnson & Associates Ford


Finished: 43rd (DNF—Crash)


Career Highlights: Two Cup Series race wins, most-recent race-winner entering the 1994 Brickyard 400, two-time Modified Series champion, never forgets.


Total Brickyard 400 Starts: 11

Spencer's 1994 car

Best Brickyard 400 Finish: 8th (2003)


1994 Fun Fact: Jimmy went from top to bottom in a week’s time in 1994, winning the previous race at Talladega then injuring himself in a crash at the Brickyard, coming home last.  Somehow I bet he managed to blame an Earnhardt-centric conspiracy again.

Cody Ware Walking Around Garage with “Money in the Bank” Briefcase

This is a parody

A dull “race to the Chase” in Cup may be getting spiced-up a bit, as perennial backmarker Cody Ware has been seen walking around the garage today with a WWE “Money in the Bank” briefcase.

“I bought this on the WWE website”, Ware said, “and the way I figure it, this will get me a one-on-one match-race for a Chase spot.  Sure, everyone’s seen me in 400 lap races, but wait till you see me in a 25 lap sprint against just one guy.”

Nascar has not yet ruled on the legality or validity of the “Money in the Bank” rules Ware has proposed.

“We usually don’t allow outside gimmick concepts in Cup—we have enough inside ones as it is, lord knows”, a Nascar spokesman said from the New Hampshire Motor Speedway garage this morning.  “Still, considering how boring the battle for Chase spots is looking, we’ll allow it and rule on it in the near future.  We just wish it was Ross Chastain or Austin Dillon holding the briefcase.”

Ware currently sits 35th in points, easily the worst of all the full-time Cup drivers. However, to hear him tell it, Ware has been planning this out for some time.

“It’s all about getting the rest of the field to let their guard down”, Ware said while tapping the briefcase.  “Once I spring this baby on the likes of Austin Cindric or SVG, they won’t know what hit them.  And hey—it’ll be nice to hit another car instead of just the wall for once.
