Married – Sue

Jeff Spraker has over 30 years of racing experience. He began his racing career with Go Karts in the Capital District region of New York state. During his high school years, Spraker worked as a crew member for the innovative "Hemi-Cuda" Modified and Supermodified team, where he learned invaluable skills for chassis dynamics, machining processes and fabrication.

In 1978, Jeff accepted a full-time position as a Test Engineer for a research and development firm in Latham, N.Y. In this capacity, he was responsible for the building and testing of prototype engines and vehicles for a NASA-related contract. At the same time, Spaker began pursuing a part-time career as a driver, by forming his own team to compete in the NASCAR Modified ranks. As an owner/driver in the series, he competed on a regular basis with some of the legends of the Northeast, including Richie Evans, Jimmy Spencer and the Bodine brothers. Spraker soon moved up to the newly formed NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (NKNPSE) and found great success as an owner/driver. He compiled top-20 finishes in the point standings seven times from 1988-1995, with a top-15 in 1990.

In 1990, Spraker expanded the race team into a full-time business in Schenectady, New York. During this time, Spraker's team began racing in several NASCAR Nationwide Series events, in addition to the NKNPSE races. In 1996, Spraker Racing competed in several NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races with Spraker behind the wheel.

In 2000, Spraker decided to move Spraker Racing Enterprises to a 12,000 sq. ft. facility in the Mooresville Motorsports Center in Mooresville, NC. Spraker put his own racing aspirations on hold, while he established his business in the racing capital of the South. He soon landed a consulting job with the NASCAR Sprint Cup team of Travis Carter and driver Darrell Waltrip. This successful relationship was the basis for establishing Spraker's reputation as a highly regarded chassis and set-up expert and race strategist. From this experience, Spraker turned his focus to his fabrication and consulting business, which led to successful endeavors in the preparation/set-up of cars and the chance to be a crew chief for the following drivers:

• Darrell Waltrip
• Scott Riggs
• Ron Hornaday
• David Reutimann
• Mike Bliss
• P.J. Jones
• Kerry Earnhardt
• David Ragan
