Team owner Kevin Harvick announced prior to Friday's Silverado 350K at Texas Motor Speedway that Jack Sprague will drive the No. 2 Chevrolet next year. He'll join Ron Hornaday, driver of KHI's No. 33, as former NCTS champions on the same team.

Sprague has three Truck Series titles, winning the championship in 1997, 1999 and 2001. Hornaday won titles in 1996 and 1998 and is battling Mike Skinner for this year's championship. Hornaday fell to second in the point standings after a crash with Skinner resulted in an 18th-place finish at Texas on Friday night. He is 57 points behind.

Sprague, a 28-race winner in the NCTS, is in his second season driving the No. 60 Toyota for Wyler Racing. Sprague came into Friday's race with one win this season, with six top-fives and eight top-10s in 22 starts. He finished sixth in the Silverado 350K after crashing into the leader running second on a green-white-checkered restart.

KHI's No. 2 truck has made 14 starts this season -- split between Harvick, Clint Bowyer and Cale Gale -- and has two top-fives and five top-10s. Harvick has driven the truck to one top-five and three top-10s.

Late last month it was announced that Jeff Wyler and Michael Gaughan have formed Wyler-Gaughan Racing LLC, which will field two full-time Truck Series teams and will run a partial Sprint Cup Series team during the 2008 season.

WGR will field the No. 77 Toyota Tundra with driver Brendan Gaughan and the No. 60 Toyota Tundra. The driver of the No. 60 Toyota Tundra and sponsors for both teams will be announced at a later date. (read more)

Sprague is the second-winningest driver in the Craftsman Truck Series. Hornaday is first with 33 victories.
