Driver’s Last Career Cup Start, Pontiac – Jack Sprague

07/31/2017 – Michigan native Jack Sprague is a 3-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Champion with 28 Truck wins on his resume.  His brief venture in Cup racing (24 career starts) was, unfortunately, nowhere near as successful.  A fierce competitor with a personality to match, Jack was not active in the truck series for 2003 and was tabbed to run Gene Haas’ NetZero Pontiacs that season.

Running the first 18 races of the 2003 season, Jack and the Haas team had a tough time, with no top-10’s and no laps led; he finished on the lead lap just once (the season-opening Daytona 500) which also was his best finish, 14th.  After a 40th place finish at Chicago that marked 3 consecutive finishes of 31st or worse in Haas’ Grand Prix, Sprague and Haas parted ways; Sprague has never raced in Cup or attempted to qualify for another Cup race since.
