Jimmy Spencer, son arrested

[slick-nick]

Nextel Cup Series driver Jimmy Spencer and his son were arrested late Sunday night at Spencer's Cornelius, N.C., home, police said.

According to a Cornelius Police Department spokeswoman, Spencer interfered with officers Sunday evening while they attempted to serve a warrant on his son, James Johnathan Spencer Jr.

Jimmy Spencer was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting a public officer, both misdemeanors.

Police also served the warrant on Spencer's son, who was arrested for one misdemeanor charge of injury to personal property.

The arrests took place at approximately 11:20 p.m. Eastern Sunday, according the arrest reports. The spokeswoman said both processed within an hour.

Spencer, 47, drove in Sunday's Subway 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway Sunday afternoon for his Morgan-McClure Motorsports team, which is based in Virginia. He finished 29th.

Officials with the team could not be reached for comment late Tuesday.

Johnathan Spencer and another individual are accused of pouring paint on two cars at a Cornelius residence on Oct. 6, police said.

A message left for Jimmy Spencer went unreturned late Tuesday.

Spencer has earned the nickname "Mr. Excitement" for his brash speaking style and rough driving on the track.

Last season, fellow driver Kurt Busch filed an assault complaint against Spencer after Spencer struck Busch after a race at Brooklyn, Mich., while Busch sat in his car. Busch later dropped the complaint. Spencer was fined $25,000 and suspended for one week by NASCAR.

Kelly ... you better do something with your man !!!! :lol:

I sorry .... just teasing.

 

[42ILoveU]

PS you know he aint my man

 

[peyton shea]

I wouldn't claim him either hon.

 

[wolfcub]

Well it should be no big deal to NASCAR, after all they let a drunk continue to drive and Jimmy was simply defending his own blood versus a bottle.

 

[Steve007]

Who was the drunk?

 

[wolfcub]

Scott Wimmer

 

[Steve007]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

[sarcasm]There you go bashing a driver. Don't you know we are only allowed to say postive things about drivers on this forum? You, sir or madam, are walking a thin line in these here parts. [/sarcasm]

And, slick-nick, you of all people should know better than to bring a topic like this up. You, sir, have been called on the carpet many many times for your negative posts about our sainted drivers. Consider this your warning, sir...

Ah but hterer is a difference here and that difference is that my comment was a statement of fact. Mr. "glug glug" Wimmer was convicted AND NASCAR allowed him to continue to drive, therefore there is no driver bashing and merely the restatement of the obvious :lol:

I thought about him after I posted originally and thought I'd allow someone else to get yelled at tby the Speech Police, LOL Thanks for mentioning it.

 

[barelypure]

...therefore there is no driver bashing and merely the restatement of the obvious

[not to be taken seriously]While it may indeed be a restatement of the obvious and one which no sane person could positively find any fault in saying it is still a negative comment directed towards one of our saintly drivers which is not allowed on these boards. Or, haven't you been following all of the threads where people get so upset they are about to cry because someone points out the obvious. We must enforce the rules of having a kinder gentler board so as not to upset the weak of heart and cause them undue distress by our crass comments. No matter how true they may be. I'm sorry if you didn't understand that point before but I hope you are now clear on these directives...[/not to be taken seriously]

 

[wolfcub]

[washing mouth out with soap] how silly of me to induce such horrible behavior by voicing an opinion that chat boards such as this are designed for. This horrible behavior shall not occur again because the fear of winding up in "The Corner" is a nightmare I do not wish to have. [/NOT!!!!!!}

Well, not to add fuel to the fire, but to make some explanations,

Wimmer was intoxicated; it doesn't make him a drunk. Drinking alcohol is not illegal, DUI is illegal. As far as I can tell, NASCAR with the 2, 8, 40 Cup cars and the 22 Busch car, seems to support the alcohol industry.

Hmiel had some, what I'm assuming to be pot in his system. Pot or Marijuana is illegal. As far as I can tell, with none of the cars bearing marijuana companies or marijuana products, NASCAR does NOT support the marijuana industry.

As for Spencer, I don't really know what's going on.

Hmiel served his time without a ride and has come back to the Truck series in an explosive fashion. This shows how NASCAR does not support the use of illegal substances.

HOWEVER, with Wimmer, they really dropped the ball on showing that they don't support responsible drinking.

Spencer probably has nothing to worry about. If the past year or so shows anything, when he returns to NASCAR he will come down with a few W's to end the season.

I'd say a lot of this has to do with the age factor. Spencer should probably know better having been around longer. Wimmer, for some reason, they treat him like a kid, and if you've watched the NASCAR reality show, everyone around him, even his wife, treats him like a kid.

Okay so he was a drunk DUI, I can live with that

As far as I can tell, NASCAR with the 2, 8, 40 Cup cars and the 22 Busch car, seems to support the alcohol industry.

They support the right to advertise NOT to go out get drunk, flee police, wreck cars (your bosses no less), run from the police, and hide from them...Somehow I can see a big difference

Hmiel had some, what I'm assuming to be pot in his system. Pot or Marijuana is illegal. As far as I can tell, with none of the cars bearing marijuana companies or marijuana products, NASCAR does NOT support the marijuana industry.

Um, by allowing him to continue to drive "in any series" they have done just that

As for Spencer, I don't really know what's going on.

Hey, he is Mr. Excitement!!

HOWEVER, with Wimmer, they really dropped the ball on showing that they don't support responsible drinking.

Agreed

 

[barelypure]

I still have a problem with Wimmer being found guilty of DUI. He was not found in the truck. There were no witnesses that he was driving the truck intoxicated. He was found at home hiding.
My defense would have been, hey that Insurance squirrel jumped out in front of me and caused me to wreck. I was so shook up that I ran home and downed a fifth of Jack. Went to lay down to calm my nerves and rolled off the bed when I was startled by the cops knocking on the door. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. But, no, he wants to accept blame and all of the criticism that follows and look what happens.
Yeah, he acts like a kid...

 

[nascarup]

You have to love a standup guy like Jimmy Spencer. Some of us would have done the same thing.

 

[redrock]

Maybe I'm getting old, but wasn't Jimmy and or a son arrested before for stealing tires at a track about two years ago?

Agreed

A drunk DUI? Just because someone is drunk it does not make them A DRUNK. I have been drunk many times in my life, but I am in no way addicted to alcohol. As for Wimmer, I do not know him personally or know if he is an alcoholic, but neither do you.

NASCAR obviously doesn't support running from the police, etc. and, NEITHER DOES THE ALCOHOL INDUSTRY. Therefore, by logical reasoning and conclusion, it would seem that NASCAR does in fact, Support the alcohol industry.

NASCAR obviously believes in second chances as far as Hmiel is concerned. He "served his time" in the sense of being suspended for so long and has now returned to the fold. There is such a thing as forgiveness, I figured you would be aware of that.

well turtle, what was it ???

 

[slick-nick]

It's kind of hard to answer that when she isn't here...
Give her time, dude.

 

[97forever]

Agreed.

I couldnt find anything stating it ever WAS Mary J anyhow...that may have just been a wrong assumption from the start. Everything I could find on it stated either :"illegal" or "controlled" substance.(Re:Shane)

 

[turtle3539]

I'm not sure it's my place to be telling everybody over the internet. But I'm friends with Shane's former webmaster, and a girl who was dating a Busch official. She saw the report with her own eyes, and it was not marijuana or pot.

 

[Professur]

You're right. It's not your place to tell us. You have now interfered with our right to speculate wildly about celebrities we don't know, on topics we know nothing about. I hope you're happy with yourself.


But for the record, mairjuana and pot are the same thing. It's hash that's the odd one out.

But since you are telling us what it wasn't, did she tell you what it was? Not that I want to know.

 

[turtle3539]

I am very happy. Just makes my day. Na na na na boo boo, I'm not gonna tell you! :lol:
