Sprague wins caution-filled UAW/GM 250Updated: Tuesday May 18, 2004 1:18AM 
MANSFIELD, Ohio (Ticker) -- Jack Sprague started in front based on last year's owner points and finished in front because of his driving. Sprague survived 13 cautions Sunday to win the inaugural NASCAR Craftsman Truck series UAW/GM Ohio 250. The series' lone three-time champion held off Dennis Setzer off a restart with six laps left to notch his first victory since 2001 at Richmond. It was his 24th career Truck series win and fifth from the pole. Sprague became the fourth different winner in as many races this season. Driving a Chevrolet, Setzer finished four truck lengths back in second place but took the points lead from Carl Edwards. Terry Cook crossed third in a Ford, ahead of Bobby Hamilton, Tracy Hines and Mark McFarland.
