Ken Schrader Race Quotations

I have a strong tie to tracks like this. These are the places where you grew up as a race car driver. It's like home. Our homes are all of these different race tracks scattered throughout the country. And some of them you just take a liking to - like this one.

I think it's a real good excuse. A Saturday night with a Winston Cup race doesn't effect us (at the I-55).

That's what I do. I like to race.

Yeah, you can say I like speed, ... Mostly, I just like being around race cars and racing people. It was my hobby and it became my job and I still love it every bit as much as I did when I started.

It's a short little race that pays a lot of money.

It really boils down to what kind of role model you are going to be. You are either going to be someone people, especially kids, can look up to, or you are going to be someone their parents like to point at and say, 'Don't be like him!' I'd much rather be on the front page of the paper for winning a race than being arrested for something.

The racing is no different if it is day or night except you see the lights and the sparks. You run the race the same. The day or night doesn't really affect the race.
