Jack Sprague's victory at the O'Reilly 200 at Memphis Motorsports Park was his 26th career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win. This is Sprague's first win driving the No. 60 Con-Way Freight Tundra for Wyler Racing. He has 19 career starts with the Wyler Racing team, 14 starts in 2006 and 5 starts in 2005.

Sprague's last victory before tonight was at Texas Motor Speedway a year ago (June 10, 2005). Before tonight, Jack Sprague's best result driving the No. 60 Wyler Racing Tundra was second-place finishes at Milwaukee (2006), Mansfield (2006) and Miami (2005).

This is Jack Sprague's second career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win at Memphis. He previously won the NCTS race at Memphis in 2000.

Jack Sprague, Wyler Racing, No. 60 Con-Way Freight Tundra:  "This is the first win for Wyler Racing and the first win for Con-Way, and the first win for me in a while. This is a new race team and it's easy to get derailed. There are a lot of guys that haven't worked together, and good things make everyone feel great and bad things kick everyone in the gut. Dennis (Setzer) was better than me on the long runs, there's no doubt about that. But, the up-to-40 lap runs we were pretty good and could get away and lead. Then I would just get too tight. Something happened to Dennis on the last pit stop, which is unfortunate for him, but what I needed that to happen to win. We had 20 laps to go, I think I was going to stay out front. I wasn't quite as good at the end as I was in the middle."

The last restart? "I wasn't going to hit him (Erik Darnell) to win it, and it's a good thing he didn't hit me. It all worked out great. I got by him clean and he didn't take me out. That's all good."

How sweet is this win? "The older you get, you wonder if you're ever going to win again. It's sweet. There are many more wins for this race team. This is a great race team. We just need to get a little more consistency as a team."
