According to Casino Speedway owner/promoter, Todd Brink, some big excitement is coming to the track this summer. NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader of Concord, N.C., will strap on his helmet as he competes in his own USMTS Modified during the 6th Annual USMTS Summer Slam, July 29th at Casino Speedway. While Schrader, formerly of Fenton, Mo., is best known for circling America's superspeedways with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, he is a highly-regarded prolific dirt track racer with a pedigree. It was on the dirt tracks where Schrader's career began. He started out driving mostly open-wheel cars and won in every division he raced, including two USAC championships — 1982 Silver Crown and '83 Sprint Car.
Schrader is a veteran second-generation racer and a part-time competitor on both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series circuits. He currently appears as a television analyst on Inside Sprint Cup on SPEED Channel, and is also the owner of Ken Schrader Racing, which fields entries for himself in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the Whelen All-American Series.
*Please note that due to commitments with NASCAR and the SPEED Channel... all dates are subject to change as Ken's schedule changes.
