You're hired

1:44 PM

I am hearing that Jimmy Spencer is back part-time in the Nextel Cup Series next year with a new team called Revelocity Racing. It was formed by a group of four businessmen from West Virginia, and they plan on running all the Car of Tomorrow races in 2007.

I heard the team also talked to Ward Burton, but eventually went with Spencer.

Nascar needs Jimmy Spencer. He wasn't called Mr. Excitement for nothing.

GREAT - it is about time Mr. Excitement is back in NASCAR racing on a regular basis. I'm a WV guy and if he is driving for the Revelocity guys will definately be cheering them on!

I THINK JIMMY SPENCER IS A NICE GUY BUT I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE LET WARD BURTON DRIVE THIS CAR FOR NEXT YEAR.THE RACE FANS REALLY WANT WARD BACK DRIVING AGAIN AFTER I SAW ALL THE CHEERS FOR HIM FROM THE FANS ON TRACKSIDE LIVE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

Mr. Excitement? Would love to see him back on the track! W. Burton? All the personality of a book end? No thanks. Is he any relation to Fudd?

I wish they would've hired a driver from the TNT - NBC crew. I'm happy for Jimmy, but sad for everyone else.
