Robert Sprague (born December 26, 1959) is an American former professional stock car racing driver. He competed in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and NASCAR Winston West Series.[1]

Racing career

NASCAR Winston Cup Series

Sprague attempted races in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series between 1989 and 1994, making one race at Sears Point International Raceway in 1991, where he led a lap but finished 39th due to engine issues.[2] He failed to qualify for four other events, including the 1994 Brickyard 400.[3][4]

NASCAR Winston West Series

Sprague attempted nearly the entire 1989 NASCAR Winston West Series season, skipping only the fourth race of the season, and failing to qualify for the Winston Cup Series combination race finale.[5] He attempted most of the 1990 season, only skipping the season's second race, and he again failed to qualify for the finale.[6] Sprague ran the full season in 1991, although he did not start the season opener at Evergreen Speedway and failed to qualify for the finale at Phoenix Raceway.[7] Sprague only ran three races in 1992, running the fourth, fifth, and sixth races of the year.[8] He increased his schedule to five races in 1993 and scored a career-best third place finish at both Coos Bay Speedway and South Sound Speedway.[9] Sprague's final starts in the series came in 1994, where he ran three races, as well as attempting the inaugural Brickyard 400.[10]
