| Sprague On Racing in His Owners Backyard: Jeff and David Wyler call Kentucky Speedway their home track. They have car dealerships all around the speedway in Cincinnati, Louisville and some other places. So coming to Kentucky Speedway this weekend is a big deal for everyone associated with Wyler Racing. This team just celebrated its first year in business, and Im so impressed with all that we have been able to accomplish in just a years time. We havent won yet, but we have been beating on the door for sometime now, and this weekend would be the perfect time to finally roll the No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota into victory lane. I want to win for my sponsor, but this is Jeff and Davids home track, and it would be cool to see them celebrate the teams first victory right in their backyard with all of their family and friends. Career at Kentucky Speedway: Sprague has four career starts at Kansas Speedway in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. In four starts, Sprague has scored one pole and three top-five finishes. Kentucky Speedway is a great race track. It is smooth and wide and there is plenty of room to pass no matter where you are on the race track. Kentucky has been a great race track for me in the past, and I have a lot of confidence that well have a strong run in the No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota this weekend.

We easily had a Top Three truck last weekend at Kansas, but we had some freaky oil line failure which put us several laps down early on. It seems like if it isnt one thing, it has been something else for the past few weeks. I dont know if I need a horseshoe or a four leaf clover or what, but we need our luck to change. And I cant think of a better time for it to change than this weekend at Kentucky Speedway. The whole Con-way Freight team really wants to win this race for Jeff and David Wyler. They are such great owners to work for, and we really want to give them their first win on their home turf. Were going to do everything we can to change our luck around and get this No. 60 Con-way Freight Toyota into Victory Lane.
