| What do people think about Toyota Tundra ? |
| I've driven a 99 Chevy Silverado 5.3, Ford 2001 and 2003 4.6 and 5.4, 2002 Dodge four door with 5.9, and a 2000 Dodge 2500 with 5.9. The Chevy is powerful but the interior is lacking in quality. The Ford is built well and does most everything well but the design is dated and the 4.6 is weak and thirsty. The Ford with the 5.4 is still competitive though... |

Sprague On His Sponsor Con-way Freight Also Being The Title Sponsor of the Race:
Its cool for a driver to have a sponsor like Con-way Freight. They are still pretty new to NASCAR, but they are loving every minute of their sponsorship. Heres a sponsor that came into the sport in February, and they are so thrilled with the program that they are already sponsoring a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, too.
For me, its really important for the No. 60 Toyota to be out front at Michigan this weekend because Con-way is really blowing it out in a big way to celebrate their sponsorship of the Con-way Freight 200. My sponsor (Con-way Freight) is based about 45 minutes from the track in Ann Arbor and they are bringing a thousand or more employees and customers to celebrate their title sponsorship of the race and the No. 60 Toyota. I cant tell you how badly I want to bring home the checkered flag for them as thanks for their support.

Sprague On Racing at His Home Track:
Michigan International Speedway is considered the home track for the Spring Lake (Mich.) native, but his luck hasnt been the best at the two-mile oval for the three-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion. Sprague hopes to turn that around this weekend in his sponsors race, the Con-way Freight 200.
For Sprague, there might be some added confidence knowing that the 2004 race sponsors truck went to Victory Lane at Michigan International Speedway. (The No. 24 Line-X Toyota driven by Travis Kvapil won the Line-X 200 at Michigan in 2004).
Racing at Michigan International Speedway is always special to me because I still have a lot of family and friends and even a home in Michigan. Its pretty neat to go to a track, and have a lot of support from the fans. I guess in some ways, Im the home town favorite. This year, well have a lot of extra support from all the Con-way Freight employees and customers who will be there at the race. To get a win at my home track would be pretty cool. But I really want to win this weekend for Con-way. This race is right in their backyard, and a win at Michigan in their race would mean the world to all the people they are bringing. I hope that I can pay back Con-way for all of their support this season by driving the No. 60 truck into Victory Lane at Michigan.
Notes:
Sprague will make his 232nd career start at Michigan in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this week.
Sprague has 25 career victories (2nd highest in the Series) and 28 career poles.
