  For Jack Sprague, there’s no place he would rather be racing than in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Leading the Series’ as a three-time Champion, there’s no place that fits Sprague’s hard-charging driving style better than the rough and tumble Truck Series.  The tough competition and the fender-to-fender battles on the track are exactly what Sprague thrives on.

In fact, Sprague has already carved out a place for himself in the Series’ record books. He’s the only three-time Champion in Series’ history and tops the charts as the Series’ all-time money winner with more than $6 million in earnings over the course of his career. Sprague is second on the all-time pole and win lists with 29 pole awards and 27 wins to his name.  Sprague also holds the records for the most top-five and top-10 finishes.

And for Sprague, there’s no better time than the 2007 season to add to those records as he competes in the No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota for Wyler Racing.

“I think 2007 is going to be our season,” said Sprague. “We overcame a lot last year and ended on a strong note, which has really given us some momentum heading into the New Year. I expect nothing less than wins and a Championship this season.”  Momentum is not the only thing on Sprague’s side as most of the team returned for the 2007 campaign.  “The team has really matured together and with crew chief Tony Furr leading the way, I’m confident that the No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota will be a force this season.”

“I gave Wyler Racing their first pole and first victory on the same day last season,” explained Sprague.  “This year, I want to give them their first Championship.”

Championships are something familiar to Sprague who first began his racing career by driving street stock cars at a track near his hometown of Spring Lake, Mich.  After winning a pair of Track Championships at Thunderbird and Winston Raceways in Muskegon, Mich., Sprague made the move South to North Carolina to seek other challenges in racing. 

Sprague began racing in the NASCAR Winston Racing Series Late Model Division and enjoyed immediate success, capturing the Big Ten Championship at Concord Motorsports Park in Concord, N.C. and the Cracker Classic at New Smyrna Speedway and the Speedworld 100, both held in Florida.  Over the next two seasons, Sprague established himself as a force to be reckoned with on the Late Model circuit, winning more than 30 events and another Big Ten title along the way. 

In 1990, Sprague’s resume continued to grow as he began racing his own entries in the NASCAR Busch Series.  Over the next three years, Sprague ran a limited schedule in the Busch Series with great success. Sprague scored poles at Lowe’s Motor Speedway and Dover International Speedway and posted his best finish of second at New River Valley Speedway in 1992.
