Well deserved.

A true racer's racer! Someone who would race anything, anywhere, anytime. I believe he used to have streaks where he'd literally race every night in any given month over the summer...midgets, sprints, late models, and obviously his NASCAR career. They used to have Kenny Schrader night at LaSalle back in the late 90's. I remember him starting and finishing 8th one night, and it was clear he was wired to think "This thing has to last me 500 miles" even though it was a 25 lap feature.

A very clean, smooth driver, and a genuinely nice person. Glad to see him being honored!

Congrats to Kenny on a well-deserved honor. I'm looking forward to seeing him run his IMCA modified this Friday in Jackson, Minnesota.

Litey would be bragging 24/7 on here if only.................

I can't remember exactly, but back in I guess the 90's, I read he raced like 200 plus nights a year.

Wasn't it Kenny's dad who put a post of some sort in the yard, with a rope from the post to Kenny's peddle car and the very young racer was born?

Used to watch him on the half mile at tri city..had the red baron late model seen him pull off on the white flag there more than once idk if to give someone else a shot to win or what..that was late 80s early 90s...

Yeah but he didn't "win shT" at Chicagoland :cool:

[klemmabyna]

all I can say is if you can slow him down and catch the guy when he isn't heading to another race there isn't an easier guy to talk to. seen him handle the drunks, the idiots, the know it alls, and every thing in between.

not sure where I fit in (probably all three at one time or another!)!!!

Class act and a great ambassador for racing. If you ever get the chance to talk ask about his memories of Larry Phillips, some great stories.

[CIRF]

Kenny says in his biography that he idolized Larry Phillips, Dean Roper and Sheldon Kinser. He named his son after Sheldon Kinser.
