| Jimmy and Katrina Spencer are a brother and sister duo who lead
a rather interesting life. These two teens are both anti-drug and
share a father that just happens to be NASCAR driver Jimmy Spencer.
We wanted to learn more about life behind, on and off the track.
Freevibe was able to wrangle a few minutes out of Jimmy and
Katrina's busy schedule to ask about racing, life on the road,
and staying drug-free. |

FREEVIBE: What's your favorite thing about the races?
JIMMY: Watching the cars.
KATRINA: I get to travel a lot and hang out with my friends at the
racetrack that I don't see during the week.
FREEVIBE: What's kept you away from drugs?
JIMMY: The thing that has kept me away from drugs is that I want
to succeed in life and I just think about what I want out of life.
KATRINA: Being with my friends. They keep me occupied with other
things.
FREEVIBE: What's the one thing you don't like about the racing
scene?
JIMMY: I don't like the injuries that happen.
KATRINA: Seeing my dad disappointed if he or his team is not performing
to the best of their ability.
FREEVIBE: What are your Anti-Drugs?
JIMMY: My Anti-Drugs are Baseball and Racing.
KATRINA: My Anti-Drugs are my friends and God.
FREEVIBE: How do you keep in touch with your Dad since he's working/traveling
so often?
JIMMY: I keep in touch with my dad when he is gone by talking to
him every day on the phone and when he's home I talk to him a lot.
KATRINA: Always talking to him on his phone every day.
FREEVIBE: What would you say to a friend who was thinking about
trying drugs?
JIMMY: I would say to a friend that was thinking about trying drugs
to ask themselves if they want to ruin their lives.
KATRINA: Well, I would ask them if they thought that they needed
to do it to have fun or keep them occupied. Then I would ask them
what they normally do with their free-time and tell them that this
would be the better thing to do with their time.
FREEVIBE: How do you feel about your Dad racing?
JIMMY: I love that my dad races and I think it is awesome and I
enjoy just about every bit of it.
KATRINA: We get to see new places, meet new people, and that is
what my dad loves to do and I support him in that.
