Jack Sprague Quotes:

MILWAUKEE HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN A GOOD TRACK FOR YOU. WHAT IS THE SECRET OF GETTING AROUND THE MAGIC MILE? “There really is no secret.  You just need to have a good-handling race truck.  One key thing is to keep the fenders on the truck all race long.  It is a short track so it is fairly tough to pass. That makes qualifying and track position pretty important.” 

THE RACE IN MILWAUKEE IS A ONE-DAY SHOW WITH PRACTICE, QUALIFYING AND THE RACE GOING FROM EARLY MORNING UNTIL LATE NIGHT.  DO YOU LIKE THAT SORT OF SCHEDULE?  “Well, it makes for a really long day.  But I have to admit I like that schedule.  It is not fun for the guys if something happens in practice or qualifying because you’re scrambling to fix the truck.  However, one-day shows are good for the fans. They can come watch everything we do in one day.  Plus, I hate waiting around so I like it when everything happens back to back.”    

CHASSIS HISTORY: The Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) No. 2 RVs.com team will be taking chassis No. 025 to The Milwaukee Mile.  This is a brand new chassis with no laps on the race track, but has been tested in the wind tunnel and produced some promising aerodynamic statistics.  No. 025 is a short-track chassis very similar to the truck the team ran at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway where the team recorded their first pole of 2008.   

FRIENDS ‘TIL THE END: Last week Sprague enjoyed being back in his home state of Michigan. He and KHI teammate Ron Hornaday decided to use the week leading up to the Camping World RV Sales 200 in Milwaukee spending some quality time together at Sprague’s home in Michigan.   

“It is nice to have a little time to relax and not worry about traveling all the way back to North Carolina, only to have to leave again on Thursday,” said Sprague.  “Hornaday and I are going to do some relaxing... maybe pull out the four wheelers and hang out with some of our friends up here.” 

PREVIOUS RACE RECAP: Jack Sprague and the No. 2 RVs.com team were relegated to a 30th-place finish after a lap one incident with fellow competitor Mike Skinner.  The contact resulted in a flat left-rear tire that knocked a brake line of the truck.  Sprague went eight laps down and was unable to recover finishing the race in 30th position.
