NASCAR Week: This interview is part three in a series of five articles this week on jobs in NASCAR.
"Keeping it real" could be the motto Lee Spencer lives by, but if you ask her about her rules to live by, she'll tell you it's just common sense.
As the senior NASCAR writer for FoxSports.com, Lee travels the entire NASCAR circuit each year reporting on the races, breaking news and providing in-depth features and analysis. A true voice of the fans, Lee brings her readers into the garage with her thorough reporting. But Lee, who has covered auto racing for more than 15 years, will tell you that respect in the garage had to be earned — and not just because she was a woman. It took years of trust building and hard work.
Lee also appears frequently on SiriusXM Radio and the Performance Racing Network, and when not at the track you can usually find her practicing yoga or taking in a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. Read on to hear more about her non-stop job, as well as her decision to have a family first, and then focus on her career.
