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.

The 46th annual Daytona 500 was shortened due to rain on lap 109. Michael Waltrip was the winner of the event. Waltrip was followed by Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick and Mark Martin. Sprague was the highest finishing rookie of the event and holds down 14th place in the point standings.
