USAC is blessed to have hired James Spinks, I have dealt with James for 3 years now and his passion for the sport goes beyond words. He is very proffesional and is going to be a huge asset for USAC, KOIL 600 racing will miss him big time.
Good luck James and i look forward to working with you.

I have worked with James at the RCA Dome Indoor Midget event in 03, and at Columbus, Ohio on pavement twice. He brought a lot of cars, and was very progressive in promotion.
I noticed he was getting quite a bit of free PR in the Cincinnati newspapers.
I think he is the right man for the job.
