Jack Sprague To Drive of Kevin Harvick's No. 2 Truck In 2008 Season
Early in the year Kevin Harvick was looking for a sponsor for truck driver Ron Hornaday Jr.
Now he plans to field two fulltime trucks next season in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with a pair of multiple-year champions.
Three-time champion Jack Sprague signed a multi-year agreement to drive Kevin Harvick Incorporated's No. 2 Chevrolet and will be the teammate of Hornaday, who wheels the No. 3 KHI Chevrolet."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."
Sprague is the series' all-time money winner, second on the all-time pole (32) and win (28) lists and 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. 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."
Hornaday and Sprague competed for the championship in the series for years, but have also been friends as long as well, which should make for an interesting team.
"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."
