Spencer to hook up with Shelmerdine

Jimmy Spencer still has not been picked up by another Cup team – nor by a Busch or Trucks program – for a full-time ride in 2005. With few opportunities, Spencer may be relegated to driving for a second- or third-tier team, or may have to be content with occasional fill-in stints in Cup, Busch or Trucks. There have been rumors about Spencer driving on an occasional basis for No. 72 Kirk Shelmerdine, but those do not appear to have much substance behind them. Yahoo Sports
