At the age of 19, Spencer Clark leaves behind a great racing legacy. While he had not become a household name yet at the age of 19, he had accomplished great things behind the wheel of a variety of race cars. Racing had been a part of everyday of Spencer’s life. Whether he was spending time with his dad while he was competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series or preparing his own Legend, Super Late Model, ASA Speed Truck or Grand National West series car, Spencer’s love of racing propelled him into becoming a respected, talented and successful driver at a very young age.

Last weekend my grandson, Brandon Baumwoll, called me to tell me that Spencer came to him in a dream. Spencer said he was a little disappointed in the way Brandon was acting lately. Brandon was so affected by this that he promised he would behave better from now on.
The family was getting ready to go to the gravesite when my grandaughter Alex stated, "I hate the wind. The wind killed Spencer."
The way Spencer touched and continues to touch our lives should give you some comfort from your loss. We all miss him. - janet

Our family would really like to thank everyone who has posted messages, flowers and cards. Your sincere words are very important in remebering all the lives Spencer has touch.

Debbie: It was beautiful what everyone did in honor of Spencer at last night's Irwindale race. And there were so many people, that had so many good things to say. Ryan Partridge painting his car up for Spencer was very moving, the empty hauler spot, the 23 alone on the scoring, the missing car in the warmup, Bob's prayer and moment of silence. It all was so, so well done. You would have been proud. I imagine the Las Vegas tribute was very moving. I am sure Spencer felt the love last night. - Natasha

Like Chris Trickle, taken from us before his time, Spencer lives in our hearts in every race we run .... god speed my very fast young friend....JW - Tiffany Tapia
As a friend of Drew's for 15 years, I am so saddened by the suddend and tragic loss of these 2 young guys. I grew up with Drew and knew first hand what an amazing guy Drew was. He had the type of personalty that could light up a room the minute he entered it. His smile and laugh were contagious and it was hard not to be happy around him. Drew left a tremendous impact on all that he met. His heart was as big as he was tall. There is nothing that Drew wouldn't do for a friend. I find some comfort knowing that Drew was finally doing something that he truly enjoyed. There are many people that spend longer time on this earth, but there are few that will touch more while here. I will miss him tremendously and always carry him in my heart. My thoughts and prayers to the Clark and Phillips family. - Saturday night vigil
To all of those who want to be apart of the candle light vigil. Please try and bring your own candles due to the fact that with so much going on we havent been able to get candles. Please and thank you - Dave Blakeman

Our thoughts and prayers go out to both families in this time of sorrow. - Michael Krueger
Andy was my first cousin. a couple of months ago he drove down to Austin from Arizona to see me and then drove to Ohio to see his brother Anthony Phillips. I hadn't seen him in a long time. We had a good visit. He had just been hired on with racing and was so exited to be doing something again that involved competition. He loved to compete in anything.... Many people new him as "Big Red." This was a nick name given to him by his football team mates and directly reflected his size and color of hair... Andy always stood out and had great character. He was a good man.I will miss him. Me and my Family and Andrew's immediately family appreciate the support from all of you.. Keep Andrew and Spencer in your hearts and prayers for the times to come. We will meet again in the winners circle at the end of life's race in celebration. - chris oddo

He looked forward to talking with you on the telephone which the two of you did almost daily. You always had some thing nice to say. To the Clark and Phillip's families I pray for God to comfort you in your time of sorrow. Please know that your sons were loved very much by the people whose lives they touched. - Greg & Michelle Fowler

I want to extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of Spencer Clark and Andrew Phillips. We have all lost members of this extended NASCAR family and you never get used to it. No amount of words can ever take away the pain in your hearts of losing two truly loved people in your life. No one ever knows why God takes people, especially at a young age, from us. All we can do is keep them alive in our memories and our hearts. I pray that all of you find solace in the human beings they were while here on earth and may their souls live long in heaven watching down on all of you. I offer this prayer on your behalf:
Dark Clouds
by Charisma
When dark clouds covered sight
and daylight turns into night
within the tears of many souls
emotions flow without control
Helpless arms reached to sky
voices contain heart-wrenched cry
prayers and thoughts are sent above
united in prayers to our Lord of Love
to be with us in these days of sorrow
however we can face tomorrow
guide us through these darkest rays
light our path in these terrible days.
I pray that God lights your path in these terribly darkened days. God bless both of them and everyone whose lives they touched.
On behalf of Ash Motorsports and Brandon Ash Racing (Nextel Cup #02) - Tavo (CT) Hellmund
Deepest sympathy to both the Clark and Phillips families. - Tom Landreth
I am sorry about the loss of Spencer and Andrew. I always looked forward to talking with Spencer when I raced in Vegas.

To the Clark and Phillips family my prayers go out to you for God's comfort in your pain and for his strength to carry you on day by day. God Bless - DS Racing
On behalf of the entire DS Racing Family I would like to send our condolences to both the Clark and Phillips family, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Find strength in your families, friends and most important in God above, we know they are both up there with him.

Clark Family: I tried to leave a message yesterday, but couldn't find the words between phone calls of the news. My son Justen was one of the last people to see Spencer before they departed Mooresville. He is flying in this evening to be with us and to be here for the funeral. It's a difficult time for everyone who knew Spencer.
There are no words that I can say that will bring any level of comfort to your Family. But, I can say that answers can be found through Jesus Christ.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not upon your own understanding.
Life is short, but we all know that Spencer lived life to the fullest!
Our Prayers are with your Family.
Dow Woerner - Robby Guevara

Our thoughts and prayers to the Spencer and Phillips families. We are so sorry to hear of this tragic loss and hope you can find comfort somehow. - Bob & Kathy Butcher - MROA GN West Chaplains
TJ, Debbie, Candice, Britteny, Andy's Family, and the Team,
Our family's hearts go out to you in the deepest care, love and compassion for your great loss. We know the Lord's heart goes out to you even moreso despite the fact we understand so little. Sadly, we only are beginning to comprehend the devestating loss of our loved ones. Both so young and already "graduating" into eternal life in The Lord's presence may only be a witness to their character. Knowing Spencer only the far-to-brief time I have; only serves to know and trust in the Lord's love for him more. Both Kathy and I and my daughter and son-in-law that prayed with him and the team prior to races saw such a light and love of life shine from his eyes that we will always remember. We want to honor you as parents, sister, girlfriend, and team because those qualities reflect both your character and the huge impact on Spencer that you gave to him as a gift.
With tears as I write on behalf of our family, we feel huge loss for we now lack the ability to develop even deeper relationship with Spencer and Andy through the years. Fortunately however, we know eternity also brings reunion and even closer relationship once again. We will all cherish that day!
Please remember through these terribly difficult days and nights ahead we are only a phone call away 24-7.
With compassionate Love & Hugs,
Bob & Kathy Butcher

Thankyou for the ride in the lambo, the haunted house trips, and both proms. And most thankyou for loving Britteny more then anyone could.

I dont know...I love you...i miss you....good luck up there and one day when i see you again i think you owe me a sock in the face...
Reece:There are memories in everyone's life when they wish that they had more moments to cherish with somebody. We had an understanding of each other from the beginning, and a respect was formed that became a bond. Friends that are devoted and true are hard to find in life,but the times that we spent with the girls, I would not trade for the world. Thanks for all of the laughs and the smiles that you brought to everyone. We all love you buddy, and always remember that you have a brother here for you that will watch over Britteny and take care of her. The two of us watching her together will keep her safe forever. Thank you for everything brother. My prayers are always with you. Make sure you give Earnhardt a run for his money! Miss you buddy! - From:Orange Show Speedway

I am shocked...... a tragic incident. something that should never happen has happened. Spencer was and has been one of my heroes, ive always looked up to him and wanted to be like him someday. I will never ever ever forget the memories of watching him race, and I will never forget his finish at Irwindale Speedway between him and Bobby McGowan in the ASA Speed Trucks. As for Andrew Phillips, I don't think I ever knew ya bud but R.I.P.
For the families, I wish you the best through the tough times.
R.I.P.

To John Brown, thank you for sharing Andy with us. If you have a photo of your cousin, I would be honored to include it, so we may all remember him, too. I am still stunned. I am so sorry for you, your family, Debbie, TJ...everyone. It just doesn't seem real. I just cannot believe it. - j.turrigiano
So young, so young, special prayers sent to heaven for both families. Godspeed Spencer and Andrew. - John Brown
Most of you on this site knew Spencer well, or at least knew of him. I would like to share a few words about Andy. Andy is my cousin. Nicknamed "ulaulanui" (Hawaiian for "Big Red") by his college football teammates, Andy had just been with the Clark team for a short time, but made a huge impact (even though we never found a shirt to fit him!). After his NFL dreams were cut short by injury, he was excited about the prospects of a career in NASCAR. Andy was a gigantic human being, but his physical size was nothing compared to the size of his heart. Big Red, I'm glad I got to know you before you left.
To the Clarks, I can only say that Andy was proud to have been "adopted" by your family, much as I have been over the past few years. In losing Spencer, I feel that I have lost 2 family members today. Thank you for making us a part of your lives; your family is in my prayers. - Candace Muzny & Del Dalrymple
Candice we want to share a story with you.. A couple of months ago Spencer was working on his BUSCH car and we were working on our Late Model and Spencer started telling us a story about one time when you two were racing together. Somebody kept bumping you and giving you a hard time on the race track and in his own word, “he took them out!” We believe just as he was protecting you then, he will always be protecting you and your parents now. My heart cries for you and your family right now and we will celebrate his life and remember him always has the true talent and rising star. Our prayers are with you and the family of Andrew Phillips.
Sincerely Candace Muzny and Del Dalrymple - Tim and Joan OToole
TJ and Debbie, i was stunned to hear about this tragic event. You and Spencer are not just people I do business with, you are my friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless you all. Tim and Joan OToole - Nick Lynch
We will all miss this young man.... godspeed friend - Chris Walker
T.J, Debbie and family...My prayers are with you all....I am so sorry for your loss, Spencer was a great kid...I will miss him too. Anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask..Your Nascar family is here for you! - Debbie (IMAGE ON TRAK) and Kevin (VIDOVICH RACING) Clark
As long time members of the NASCAR family, it is never easy to lose one of our own, especially when they are taken from us way to soon.

To the families of Spencer and Andrew. I wish all the understanding possible with this tragedy. Truly a loss to the sport. But nothing that compares with the loss to the families. God Bless JK - Joe Maylish
My favorite memory of Spencer was when he stopped by 600 Racing West on April 7th. He had just finished rebuilding his Legends Sedan. We spent about 30 minutes out front just talking about the car, and the improvements he made to it. He was really proud of it. We talked a little about his career and how things were going outside of racing. He stopped for a second and he took a photo of the # 23 on the side of his car, for the wallpaper on his cellphone. He went to the track and won that night. He also won in the last Legends race he competed in on April 15th. Spencer could flat out wheel, more importantly he was a good person. From 600 Racing our prayers go out to the entire Clark family during this difficult time. - Ashley

Dear TJ, Debbie and Candice
Words Can't even express the feeling of loss that has happened. There are only a few people that you meet in your life time that truly have a love of life and when you meet them you want to be around them and absorb some of their wonderful energy.......Spencer was one of those amazing people. If you ever had the chance to hang with Spencer you know what I am talking about. I know that I am going to miss getting phone calls from the shinning star that Spencer always was to me.TJ, Debbie and Candice having suffered loss of my brother and mother in recent years I understand a little of what you may go thru, if you need someone to talk to I am just a phone call away. Spencer made an indelible mark on my life and many other racers over the years and he will truly be missed by me. God Speed Spencer you'll be missed but not forgotten. Thanks for making us all take notice.....and get to feel some of what you brought to this Life Spencer.
Sincerly
Lots of Love, J.D. Hendley #17 - john partridge
