Three-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion Jack Sprague will join the 2002 Championship team, Xpress Motorsports, in a second truck for the 2004 season. For Sprague, it's a return to the series where he's enjoyed the most success. "I'm extremely happy to be able to drive for Xpress Motorsports next season," said Sprague. "That team is all about racing and winning, that's what I'm all about. All I want in racing is to know that when my truck is unloaded from the hauler, we have a real chance to win. I race to win races and race for championships. I had that in the truck series at Hendrick Motorsports and I think I've found that combination again with IWX Racing." Sprague, 39, won championships in 1997, 1999, and 2001. Xpress Motorsports won the championship in 2002 with driver Mike Bliss. Currently, the team is second in this year's title hunt with Travis Kvapil -- only seven points back entering Wednesday's race at Bristol. "This team is about winning races and winning championships," said team manager Dave Fuge. "We did both last year and we're in the championship hunt again this year. Jack adds strength to our team. He's the only three-time series champion and second on the all-time win list, with 23. He is a very talented driver and we're happy to have him joining us next year. With Jack on board, we are now working to put the right combination of manufacturer and sponsorship together to achieve our goals. Our commitment is to continue winning in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for years to come."(
