Jack Sprague Named Driver of Kevin Harvick
Inc.s No. 2 Truck for 2008 Season
Kernersville, N.C. (November 2, 2007)
Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) announced today that Jack Sprague has
signed a multi-year agreement to drive the No. 2 Kevin Harvick
Inc. Chevrolet Silverado in the NASCAR Truck Series beginning in
2008. A primary sponsor has been secured and will be announced
at a later date.
Sprague, a three-time NASCAR Truck Series champion, will
begin a new chapter in his racing career as he joins two-time
Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday at KHI in 2008.
I am very happy about this opportunity that has come about
at Kevin Harvick Inc., Sprague said. I have known Kevin and
DeLana for a long time. Kevin is a racer and he knows the
importance of having good people around. The whole organization
at KHI is very impressive and I look forward to having the
opportunity of winning more championships.
The Spring Lake, Michigan native tops the charts as the
Series all-time money winner with more than $6 million in
earnings over the course of his career. Sprague is second on the
all-time pole and win lists with 32 poles and 28 wins to his
name. Sprague also holds the Truck Series record for the most
top-five and top-10 finishes.
Jack Sprague brings years of racing experience to KHI and
will be a great asset to Ron and the entire truck program, said
Kevin Harvick. Ron Hornaday and Jack Sprague are what truck
racing is all about, Harvick continued. They are both
hard-core racers. I know that they will both give everything
they have until the checkered flag falls, and those are the kind
of guys I want driving for me."
Sprague, who is second in career wins behind his 2008 KHI
teammate Ron Hornaday, is excited about this opportunity. I
have a lot of respect for Ron, said Sprague. We have been
racing together for several years. I have thought before about
how cool it would be for Ron and I to retire as teammates. I am
really excited and look forward to running for another
championship with my new teammate.
Veteran driver and current Truck Series points leader Ron
Hornaday is looking forward to having Sprague make the jump to
Kevin Harvick Inc. in 2008. Jack is a very intense driver and
having him as a teammate is a big plus for the entire KHI
family, said Hornaday. The truck program is strong now, but
running two full time truck teams in 2008 and having the extra
support will make it that much stronger.
