KEN SCHRADER - USAC HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2017

Ken Schrader, of Fenton, Mo., is among the most accomplished race drivers of all time. The 1982 USAC Silver Crown Champion followed that in 1983 with the USAC National Sprint Car title. He scored 21 wins in the USAC Midgets and added six wins in the Silver Crown cars and four in the Sprint Cars. His versatility spreads across numerous racing disciplines and he won in nearly every form of the sport on oval tracks. A participant in the acclaimed “International Race of Champions,” series, he recorded three consecutive pole starting positions in NASCAR’s famed Daytona 500 from 1988-1990 and finished second in the 1989 race. In 1983 he attempted to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, but a practice accident ended that bid. A winner in NASCAR’s premier division, he is among its all-time prize money leaders and in 1989 and 1990 won the prestigious “Busch Clash.”
