Spencer Pumpelly

Spencer Pumpelly (born December 28, 1974) is an American professional racing driver who competes part-time in IMSA, driving the No. 44 Acura NSX GT3 for Magnus Racing with Archangel Motorsports as well as part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 07 Chevrolet Camaro for SS-Green Light Racing. A veteran sports car racing driver, Pumpelly has competed in IMSA and its predecessor series, the Rolex Sports Car Series and the American Le Mans Series since 1998 and 1999, respectively. He also has competed in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge and the ARCA Menards Series in the past.

Racing career
Pumpelly made his stock car racing debut when he competed in the ARCA Re/Max Series race at New Jersey Motorsports Park in 2009. Driving the No. 09 for TRG Motorsports using RAB Racing's owner points, he qualified fifth, and in the race, he led 7 laps, and finished third.

Pumpelly drove for Flying Lizard Motorsports and BGB Motorsports during the 2013 season.

Pumpelly competed in the American Le Mans Series and Rolex Sports Car Series before the two series merged to become the IMSA SportsCar Championship Series in 2014.

On May 17, 2021, it was announced that Pumpelly would make his debut in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in the series' new race at Circuit of the Americas. He would drive the JD Motorsports No. 6 car, replacing its normal driver Ryan Vargas. Vargas had struggled during the season and with the race at COTA having qualifying and a smaller field of 36 cars (instead of the typical 40 in races without qualifying), the No. 6 car was in danger of failing to qualify due to being low in owner points.

In 2022, Pumpelly returned to the Xfinity Series to attempt two races as a road course ringer. He drove the No. 08 car for SS-Green Light Racing in the series' new race at Portland instead of David Starr, finishing 29th. He replaced Ryan Vargas in the JD Motorsports No. 6 car in a race for the second year in a row, this time in the race at Watkins Glen, although he would fail to qualify for the race.

In 2023, Pumpelly returned to SRO competition, joining Pedro Torres and ACI Motorsports in the GT World Challenge America. On June 27, it was announced that Pumpelly would return to SS-Green Light Racing to drive their No. 07 car in the new Xfinity Series race at the Chicago Street Course.

Personal life
Pumpelly lives with his wife Lindsay, son Ryder, and daughter Parker in Atlanta. He has been a vegetarian since 2003 and a vegan since 2010. During a visit to the Farm Sanctuary in June 2011, Spencer was quoted, saying "I'm honored to support Farm Sanctuary and the people who are devoted to defending others."
