Con-Way Transportation Services, Inc. will be the primary sponsor on the No. 60 Wyler Racing team for the 2006 race season in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
"Con-Way's entry into racing by our association with the Wyler organization and their driver, Jack Sprague, is an exciting new way to extend the Con-Way brand into the marketplace. The Con-Way 60 truck will be campaigned by a first class racing organization and offer significant branding, customer entertainment and employee participation opportunities," said David S. McClimon, president of Con-Way.
The race team is owned by Jeff Wyler of the Cincinnati-based Jeff Wyler Automotive Family of Dealerships and competed in 15 Craftsman Truck Series events during the 2005 season. Three-time series champion, Jack Sprague drives for Wyler.
"We are extremely excited about our partnership with Con-Way," Jeff Wyler commented. “We couldn't be more pleased for the opportunity to work with them. Crew Chief Tony Furr has put together a top flight team in a short period of time and together with Jack Sprague and Con-Way we will be a serious contender for the 2006 championship."
Sprague, who made the switch from Chevrolet to Toyota, dominated the fall 2005 Atlanta race leading 45 laps before a last turn accident spoiled the win. He went on to bring home the team's best finish at the season finale at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in the second place position. With a successful test at the Daytona International Speedway behind them, the No. 60 Con-Way Toyota Tundra team is focused on the season opener Feb. 17 at the Daytona Beach International Speedway.
