Sprague On Racing at Kansas Speedway:

I love Kansas. Its a fast track, and its a lot of fun to drive. Its really important to have a lot of horsepower and a sound aero truck at Kansas. Ive always run well at Kansas even though my finishes dont show it. Weve been up in the top 10 in every race at the track, but something has always happened to take us out of contention for the win. The first race there in 2001, I was leading with about 40 laps to go when the motor went sour but my teammate Ricky Hendrick won the race, so that was pretty cool to see.

Career at Kansas Speedway:

Sprague has three career starts at Kansas Speedway in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. He has one finish in the top 10.

Wheres Jack Promotion in Full Swing with Con-way Freight and Its Employees:

In an effort to get its employees more involved with the newly founded Con-way Freight racing program, the sponsor of the No. 60 Wyler Racing Toyota driven by Jack Sprague came up with an innovative tool to encourage support and excitement around its NASCAR sponsorship. The Wheres Jack? program encourages Con-way employees to take a cardboard cutout of their driver, Jack Sprague, to interesting locations and have their picture made with him.

Each week, employees submit their photos for consideration. The two most creative photos are chosen, and the winning employees are awarded race and hospitality tickets. The winners are also made honorary pit crew members for the No. 60 Con-way Freight team at that race.

So far this year, the Wheres Jack? program has found Sprague deer hunting in Texas, touring in Japan and even working as a plumber.

I get a chance to look at the pictures every week, and there are some very creative and funny people out there, Sprague said. Its so cool for me to be involved with a sponsor like Con-way Freight. They are so excited to be part of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and they really make sure that their employees and customers are excited about racing, too. Im excited to see Where Jack turns up next.
