JACK SPRAGUE QUOTES:

ON RACING AT MILWAUKEE MILE: “I love this track, I always have. We had an awesome Chevy Trucks Silverado last year and were headed for a strong finish until the motor let go. It has been a track that suited my driving style. It is a challenging, technical track that requires you to have a good handling package under your truck. It isn’t the easiest place to pass so you have to really carefully plan how you are going to get around someone and have the power under the hood to get a good run off the corner and make your pass on the straight away. Chevrolet is on a roll right now and we need to continue to do our part to keep that momentum going. I am excited to be back at Milwaukee and see if we can’t get another W for our Xpress Motorsports team and Chevrolet Silverado.”
