FANTASY NASCAR Racin

was a NASCAR driver who raced in all three of the series top divisions. Sprague has finished in the top-ten in the points standings almost every year he has raced in the truck series, and won three championships in 1997, 1999, and 2001 while driving for Hendrick Motorsports. Sprague made his Xfinity Series debut in 1989 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Driving the #78 Griffin Racing Chevrolet, he qualified 28th but finished 41st after suffering engine failure early in the race. After a 40th-place finish at the Goody's 300 for Pucci & Associates, Sprague moved up to drive the #34 Keystone Beer car for Frank Cicci Racing in 1990. He competed in nineteen races and had a best finish of sixth at Orange County Speedway. In 1993, Sprague signed to drive the #74 BACE Motorsports car. Despite four top-ten finishes, he was released with just a handful of races left in the year. He finished nineteenth in points. Sprague began racing in the Trucks' first year of competition in 1995. He began the season in the #31 Chevrolet Silverado for Griffin Racing, winning the pole at Louisville Speedway. After the Action Packed Racing Cards 150, Sprague switched to the #25 Budweiser Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports. He ended the season with a pole at Phoenix International Raceway, and had three fourth-place finishes. In 1996, he slid over to the #24 Quaker State truck owned by Hendrick, winning his first race at Phoenix followed up by back-to-back victories at Nazareth Speedway and The

series, subbing for Ricky Craven at Bristol Motor Speedway, but finished 40th after a wreck. Despite winning the Truck Series championship, Quaker State did not return as Sprague's primary sponsor, forcing him to start the 1998 season unsponsored. After a one-race deal with Big Daddy's BBQ Sauce at Portland Speedway, Sprague won The No Fear Challenge in his debut for sponsor GMAC, allowing them to join full-time as sponsor. He won five races total that season and finished second in points. In 1999, Sprague won three races as well as the Truck Series championship by eight points wheeling the Hendrick owned, GMAC sponsored Chevy. He also drove at Watkins Glen in a Terry Labonte-owned car, finishing twelfth, and attempted the Exide NASCAR Select

Batteries 400 for Tyler Jet Motorsports, but failed to qualify. He won three more times in 2000, but crashes caused him to drop to fifth in the standings. In 2001, NetZero became his primary sponsor, and he won seven poles and four races, and took home his third championship trophy. After 2001, Sprague and teammate Ricky Hendrick moved back to the Xfinity Series, with Sprague driving the #24 NetZero Chevy. He won his first career Xfinity race at Nashville Super speedway as well as leading the points during the season, before finishing fifth in the final standings. 2003 also saw Sprague run the majority of his Cup races in his career. He made 18 or his 24 starts; and since NetZero had success with him in the Truck and Xfinity series they

agree to sponsor him for some races in the Cup series wheeling the #0. Sprague took over the 16 Xpress truck full-time in 2004, winning six poles and the UAW/GM Ohio 250. He finished seventh in points. The following season, he won at Texas Motor Speedway, but late in the season, was released in favor of Mike Bliss and took over at newly formed Wyler Racing for Chad Chaffin. Despite switching teams mid-season, he finished eighth in points. Sprague finished the 2006 season fifth in points with two wins and two poles. He returned to the Con-Way Freight Tundra for the 2007 season. Sprague started the 2007 season in the Craftsman Truck Series with a win in the Chevy Silverado HD 250 at the Daytona International Speedway. However, Sprague began to struggle throughout the year, even dropping out of the Top 10 in points. Sprague has not raced in any type of major NASCAR event since the end of 2008.
