Craftsman Truck Series

Purchasing equipment from the defunct Fiddleback Racing, the 60 team began running in 2005 at The Milwaukee Mile, when Chad Chaffin finished seventeenth. Chaffin ran ten races for the team that season, posting a top-ten at the Sylvania 200. At the end of the season, he was replaced by Sprague, who had three top-tens in five starts for the team. In 2006, Con-way became the team's new sponsor, and Sprague responded with two wins and a fifth-place finish in points. The following year, Sprague won the first race of the season at Daytona, but fell to ninth in the standings.

Sprague and Con-way left at the end of 2007 for Kevin Harvick Incorporated and Roush Fenway Racing respectively. The team was to merge with South Point Racing to form Wyler-Gaughan Racing in 2008, but the deal fell through. Richard Johns was to be the driver of the #60, bringing along sponsorship from [http://www.havfun.com/ havfun.com] for both the 2008 and 2009 seasons, but the deal fell through, possibly due to the site's former association with Jamie Lynn Spears.Fact|date=January 2008 The team replaced Johns with Terry Cook, who was originally scheduled to drive a second truck, the #06. Cook had two top-fives and was running tenth in points when the team released Cook and replaced him with Sprague.
