Spencer use to run junior dragsters at the Motorplex and other tracks in the area. He pretty much went from juniors to Gene Snow's top alcohol dragster. He's been running top fuel for the past 2 or 3 years.

This is Spencers 2nd year in a fuel car, he won the IHRA world championship last season in his debut year. I grew up racing jr's with Spencer and its awesome seeing him do well in the fuel ranks. Kid definatly has a nack for the sport.

He raced a super comp car, then stopped driving and worked on various Top Alcohol teams in Division 4 then after Gene's wreck a couple years back he took over the A/Fuel car. It was all uphill from there.

Well if you are starting from the bottom with the SNOWMAN, I hear there is no where to go but UP! It's apparently a "HANDS ON " experience!
