Sprague To Sport New Con-way Freight Logo And Colors Beginning At St. Louis

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (April 21, 2006) – Jack Sprague and his No. 60 Toyota Tundra truck will unveil a new Con-way Freight logo and paint scheme beginning with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Gateway International Raceway next weekend.

The new look results from of a major re-branding initiative that renamed CNF, a San Mateo, California-based transportation company, Con-way Inc. The change also affected the company's three less-than-truckload regional commercial freight carriers by putting them under the new Con-way Freight brand. The new logo on Sprague's Toyota Tundra will now say Con-way Freight on the hood, rear quarter panels and back panel. The new paint scheme features blue swishes moving from the door of the truck to the rear quarter panel, and a bright red No. 60 on the doors and roof of the truck.

The new truck graphics are part of a Con-way company-wide re-branding initiative that includes new logos and striping for its trucks and trailers, building signage, uniforms, business forms, web sites, sales, marketing and advertising materials. Complete conversion to the company’s new graphic identity is expected to take 24-36 months. Effective April 18 the company also has a new New York Stock Exchange symbol, CNW.

Sprague will hit the track with the new No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota at Gateway International Raceway, a track where Sprague has one victory (2000) and four top-10 finishes in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

He will pilot Con-way Freight’s new colors for the remainder of the 2006 season.

“It’s pretty cool to be one of the first trucks with the new Con-way colors out on the road,” Sprague said. “Con-way has a lot of great drivers out there, and I am proud to represent them and the new brand on the race track. St. Louis has been a good track for me in the past. The Wyler Racing team got off to a great start this year, but things really haven’t gone our way the past two races. Hopefully, the new colors will bring us some luck and help get the No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota up front again.”

Sprague and the Wyler Racing team have two top-five finishes in four starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this season and currently sit seventh in the points standings.

“I’m excited about the new colors,” Sprague said. “After all, I’ve done pretty good in blue, white and red race trucks in the past. Hopefully, I’ll have the same luck in the Con-way Toyota, and we’ll have the No. 60 in victory lane at St. Louis.”

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns to action next Saturday, April 29 at 7:15 p.m. ET from Gateway International Raceway in St. Louis. The Missouri/Illinois Dodge Dealers Ram Tough 200 can be seen on SPEED beginning at 7 p.m. ET and heard on MRN and XM Satellite Radio.
