G.C. Spencer

G.C. Spencer

G. C. Spencer (born July 9 1925 in Jonesboro, Tennessee – September 20, 2007) was a NASCAR driver who competed in 415 Grand National/Winston Cup (now Sprint Cup Series) races from 1958 to 1977. Despite never winning a race, he had 55 top-5 finishes and 138 top tens, including 7 second place finishes.

Spencer drove for his own independent team for most of his career, and was one of the most successful independents of the day. His best season came in 1965, when he finished fourth in points with 14 top-5 finishes and 25 top-10s and his only career pole. Although he drove GM and Chrysler cars for most of his career, he drove Fords in 1965, where he found most of his success.

He died in 2007 at the age of 82.
