NASCAR Podcast: Spencer Gallagher on the thrill of racing
Spencer Gallagher is one of the brightest personalities in the NASCAR garage, and that makes for a great podcast guest.
This week Spencer joins Kelly Crandall to explain how GMS Racing "stacking pennies” in the Xfinity Series has been paying off with a fast start to the season; the investment Comcast/Xfinity has brought to the series; and even provides a lesson in Bandolero racing.
Of course, Spencer also digs into what the thrill of racing is for him.
"People wonder why I’m all smiles at the racetrack, it’s because I’m loving every second of being there,” he says. "I can picture no happier place for me.”
Also, hear Spencer talk about being a computer nerd, which was almost his full-time job, being involved at GMS as more than a driver, and the crazy ideas he has for a victory celebration.
