Brandon McReynolds Cleverly Delivers Top-10 For
Spraker Racing At Greenville-Pickens


GREENVILLE, South Carolina (April 5, 2011) - - An 11th hour agreement between 
rising star Brandon McReynolds and Spraker Racing Enterprises (SRE) paid off 
for the duo in the postponed Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet 150 at Greenville-
Pickens (S.C.) Speedway last Saturday night.McReynolds, 20 made his NASCAR 
K&N Pro Series East debut in the No. 37 Spraker Racing Enterprises Chevrolet 
at the tricky GPS. However, the inexperience of the Mooresville, North 
Carolina native could not shake his abilities behind the wheel as McReynolds 
cleverly maneuvered an eighth place finish in his inaugural NKNPSE outing.
The team guided by racing veteran Jeff Spraker unloaded solid off the 
trailer. McReynolds and Spraker continued to adjust their Chevrolet bowtie 
between practice and qualifying – hoping to attract a soothing setup for the 
race.
In qualifying, McReynolds, nicknamed “the franchize” wheeled his No. 37 
Spraker Racing Chevrolet Impala to the 15th fastest time overall, a 
respectable starting berth for his Greenville debut.
During the course of the 150-lap event, McReynolds, the son of former NASCAR 
Sprint Cup Series crew chief and current NASCAR analyst battled a tight 
racecar but continued to steadily and patiently negotiate his black and grey 
automobile up the ladder. With the limited adjustments prone to the series, 
McReynolds had to masterfully save his tires for the end of the race, which 
ultimately changed the handling of his race car to a “looser” feeling.
Despite the change, McReynolds, the multiple UARA Series winner would 
counteract with his car’s condition but further battled his way past the 
competition to take the checkered flag in the eighth position, claiming his 
first top-10 in a NASCAR sanctioned series.
“I am really proud of Brandon,” said Spraker. “He showed maturity years 
beyond his age and proved to everyone why he is becoming a popular name in 
the garage. For having never competed at Greenville before in one of these 
heavier cars, he did spectacular. There was hardly a scratch on our car. 
Brandon showed patience and aggressiveness at the same time but easily was 
able to adjust those tactics as he saw fit on the track.”
Spraker continued, “our goal was to go to Greenville and prove that Spraker 
Racing has equipment that can run competitively in the top-10. Brandon did 
that and more. We’re talking about working together for some more races and 
honestly, I’m hoping it can happen, because with a little more time behind 
the wheel – this kid is going to prove a lot.”
