Ken Schrader, now 55, is a 30 year plus veteran on the NASCAR circuit (1975
- present). Over his career Schrader has collected a total 732 Cup starts
and more than $30 million in earnings. He has four wins to his credit in the
Sprint Cup ranks (Talladega, 1988; Charlotte 1989; Atlanta, 1991; Dover,
1991) as well as 64 top-five and 184 top-10 finishes. Schrader has also
recently seen success in the Camping World Truck Series with 97 career
starts, one win, 10 top -five and 35 top-ten finishes. Fans will have an
opportunity to meet the NASCAR legend at the on track autograph session on
Saturday afternoon following the Legends 50 lap feature. (Time and weather
permitting)
Since he was a little boy growing up in Fenton, Mo. Schrader has found some
of his greatest happiness driving in circles, and after 20 full seasons in
NASCAR's elite series, Schrader still can't wait to put on his helmet, strap
in his driver's seat and chase the checkered flag every Sunday afternoon or
any other day of the week for that matter. It is that desire and dedication
to drive that has earned Schrader the reputation around the garage as a true
racer's racer. It's nothing for Schrader to run a couple of dirt races
during the week, compete in a NASCAR series on the weekend, and then show up
at another dirt track show on Monday night.
"I want to spend my time racing," Schrader said. "It's not only my
job, but
it's also my hobby. I love the time that I get to spend behind the wheel,
and as long as I can, I'm going to race whenever I get the chance."
