Jimmy Spencer's Winston /No Bull/Food City #23 Ford Taurus Nascar race car from the 1999 season
Hello, everyone especially, race fans. This is Jimmy Spencer's( Mr. Excitement) #23 personnal Nascar race cars from the 1999 season. This is a rare chance to own a real Nascar race car untouched since being raced by jimmy Spencer himself. In the 1999 season Jimmy had 4 top ten finishes ans 2 top 5 finishes.
Now before I get to far into the description I wanted to give my contact tel # which is 570-875-7109. If anyone has any questions they would like to ask or discuss prices please feel free to call.
Now I am sure I will be asked how can I prove it is one of his real cars. I know it is real. My friend, who owns the car, knows him very well along with other Nascar drivers they come to his house on occasion. When I took these pictures my friend, who owns the car, called Jimmy from his cell phone and asked Jimmy to write up a letter to go with the sale of the car stating that it is one of his, that he raced and he will sign it as well. So again this will come with a personal letter from Jimmy to prove it's authenticity( it will be made out directly to the new owner) It will be signed as well. Now possibly Jimmy might be able to be there when the car is picked up as well to meet the new owner take pictures, etc., but I will have to see if we could work that part out but it is a real possibility. This is the real deal.
This is owned by a personnal friend of Jimmy's that I know very well. He asked me to sell this car for him so since I know alot of Nascar fans go on Ebay to search for small to big items I figured I would try Ebay once to see if the car can be sold here before I go elsewhere to try to sell it.
Now brief history on Jimmy spencer he was born Feb 15, 1957 and raised in Berwick, Pa.
Jimmy Spencer followed his father, Ed Spencer Sr. (Fast Eddie), in racing. Spencer started in Late Models in Pennsylvania. He captured his first racing win in the Late Model division at Port Royal Speedway in 1976. He moved to NASCAR Modifieds at Shangri-La Speedway (Owego, New York), then branched out to bigger events throughout the Northeast.
In 1984, Spencer was one of the top contenders for NASCAR's National Modified Championship, at a time when all sanctioned races counted toward that title; after running over sixty races, he was second to Richie Evans in the final standings. When NASCAR changed the National Modified Championship into the smaller-schedule Winston Modified Tour (now Whelen Modified Tour) in 1985, Spencer continued to run, and won the title in 1986 and 1987.
Spencer debuted in the Busch Series in 1985, finishing 19th at North Carolina Motor Speedway in the #67 Pontiac for Frank Cicci Racing, which was also his Modified team. The team ran twice in 1987 with a best finish 36th, then ran the full season in 1988, finishing seventh in the point standings in the #34. In 1989, Spencer won his first career Busch race at Hickory Motor Speedway, then won two more races over the course of the season, finishing fifteenth in the final standings.
In 1989, he moved to the Winston Cup Series, driving the #88 Crisco Pontiac for Buddy Baker's team in 17 of the 29 races. He posted three top-tens and finished 34th in points. He then ran full-time in 1990, finishing in the top-ten twice for Rod Osterlund Racing. During the season, he posted two top-tens in the #57 Heinz Pontiac and finished 24th in points. In 1991, Spencer moved to the #98 Banquet Frozen Foods Chevrolet for Travis Carter Motorsports. Despite six top-ten finishes, Spencer dropped one position in the standings due to twelve DNFs. He began 1992 with Carter, but moved down to the Busch Series to drive the #20 Daily's 1st Ade Oldsmobile for Dick Moroso after Carter's team folded early in the season. He responded with wins at Myrtle Beach Speedway and Orange County Speedway.
Late in the 1992 season, Spencer joined Bobby Allison Motorsports' Cup team and posted three top-fives in the last four races of the season. He signed to drive Allison's #12 Meineke Ford Thunderbird full-time in 1993, and finished in the top-five five times, resulting in a career-best fifteenth-place in the final standings. In 1994, he drove the #27 McDonald's Ford for Junior Johnson and won his first two and so far only career Cup races, at Daytona and Talladega. He also won his first career pole at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
After finishing 29th in the standings in 1994, Spencer left to reunite with Travis Carter, who was now fielding the #23 Smokin' Joe's Ford. He finished in the top-ten four times in 1995 and in 1996, Spencer had two top-fives en route to a fifteenth-place finish in points. He fell to twentieth in 1997.
In 1998, Winston/No Bull became his team's new primary sponsor and he was eleventh in points when he suffered injuries at the Brickyard 400, forcing him to sit out the next two races to recover and fall to fourteenth in points. During the season, Spencer formed his own NASCAR team, Spencer Motor Ventures, which fielded the #12 Zippo Chevrolet Monte Carlo in the Busch Series for himself and several other drivers. The team expanded to two cars in 1999, fielding the #12 and the #5 Schneider National Chevy for Dick Trickle. In 2000, he moved his team up to Cup to run the road course races with Boris Said in the #23 Federated Auto Parts Ford Taurus. The team ceased operations at the end of the season.
After a 20th-place finish in 1999, Winston left the team, and Kmart became the team's new sponsor, causing Spencer to switch to the #26 to accommodate the new sponsor, who was already backing the #66 car driven by Spencer's teammate, Darrell Waltrip. Spencer had two top-fives and in 2001 won the pole positions at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Lowe's Motor Speedway and advanced to sixteenth in points. He departed the team at the end of the season.
Jimmy Spencer is no longer racing, his last race was in 2006 at the Pennsylvania 500. He now is a full time analyst for the SPEED channel.
Jimmy Spencer is only 1 out of 20 drivers to ever have a win in all 3 Major Nascar series.
In 1999, when this car was used for some races, Jimmy came in 20th in points at 3312. He had 34 starts and had 4 top ten finishes and 2 top five finishes.
Sorry for the long description, most Nascar fans would know all of this. Anyway, if you follow any of my auctions I usually put a 10 minute walk around video with the car starting and running. Sorry to say that where the car was located( with other high end car) I could not start it without pulling it outside and that would have been a pain. Anyway I can assure you that the car has NOT been altered in anyway since it was raced. It is the exact same condition as it was when Jimmy drove it. It does start up and can be driven.
Now I would like to get to the full page pictures of the car.
                                         
I hope that everyone can view the pictures full page. Again if anyone has any questions or wants to discuss prices please feel free to give me a call at 570-875-7109.
Also please really think about it before hitting the buy it now or offering an offer. Please be a serious buyer. If you are a series buyer you are welcome to come view the car in person.
Thank you for taking the time to view this auction and have a great day....
