JACK SPRAGUE POST RACE QUOTES -
"The NetZero Pontiac Grand Prix was a little tight
all day, but we could run pretty well up high," said Sprague. "Most
importantly, we kept our nose clean and stayed out of trouble, which is half
the battle here. It's a shame the race ended the way it did, but this is a
great accomplishment for the NetZero team. This is a new team and we needed
a boost and we got it here today."
NOTES OF INTEREST -
Jack Sprague was 28th quick in qualifying for the
Daytona 500, which lined him up in 14th for the second Gatorade 125
Qualifying race. Following his 13th place finish in the event, Sprague was
set to start his NetZero Pontiac in the 26th position for the event on
Sunday. A penalty levied to the No. 2 team moved Rusty Wallace to the back
of the field and ultimately resulted in the NetZero starting the Daytona 500
in 24th.
