SPRAGUE QUOTES:
On
MBNA America 200 at Dover: "Dover has always been a good track for me. I almost won the NASCAR Craftsman Truck race there in 2001 and finished fifth
and third there in the Busch car in 2002. It is fast and there is room to pass. You need horsepower there but handling is really critical to tire wear. There isn't much difference to me running on a concrete track like Dover versus
a paved track. Dover is a fun racetrack and I am looking forward to a good finish in the #16
