    I met KEN Schrader at TALLADEGA SUPER SPEEDWAY many many years ago. He was a REALLY GREAT PERSON. He would pose for photos and would just casually talk to WHOEVER. He never acted like he was in a hurry, but everyone knew that he was. That was probably 30years ago, it would seem as though Ken is still a GREAT PERSON.
    THANKS for the video.😎🇺🇸

      You nailed it on Schrader! He's so down to earth...and funny! I've always asked him if the constant attention and obligations to his fans gets old. He said, 'heck no...beats the hell out of getting a real job." Thanks! HMM

      @@HistoryMysteryMan Yep. When I talked to him, I asked if it bothered him for everyone to want his autograph, and he laughed and told me "Heck ! There's quite a few people that I want Their autograph. And I'm willing to stand in line to get it too." 🇺🇸😎

      @@HistoryMysteryMan If anyone needs to see for themselves just how down to earth Ken is, all they have to do is watch his interview about being the first person to Dales car after the crash. If that interview doesn't bring a tear to your eyes, then you are NOT down to earth at all.

    Don, what a nice behind the scenes look at Kenny. He said "The 3rd looser" after the featured race in your video. This tells me even after over 1000 races, he still covets that top spot.
    Kenny loves the sport. Totally. Hope he continues for many more years. He and his good friend Kenny Wallace.

    Another nice interview with one of the real nice guys in racing. Ken raced a Trans Am car on the road course at Brainerd International Raceway (Minnesota) during the time he was driving the Kodiak car. It must have been an off-weekend in NASCAR. As easily seen in this video, he's a very personable man. Unlike many drivers, he also takes a moment to sign a legible autograph.

I remember him loosing a piece of his thumb too, while he was still driving the #25 car for HMS. Seem like he was helping replace an engine in the 25 car I think. When I think of Ken Schrader makes me think of all the good ole boys Like Harry Gant, Buddy Baker and Neil Bonnet just to name a few...

    Ken Schrader came to our little clay track back in 1984 or 1985. He pulled in in a complete hauler with all his "fancy" equipment. Had some of the regular guys making not so nice comments about "Mr.Big Shot". By the time he left everyone realized he was just a racer. He treated everyone like they were equals. He couldn't have been nicer. A very classy man. He is what every racers should hope to be

    Mr Schrader I have so much respect for you. You never let anyone step on your opinion. But at the same time you are a good guy who didn't just go out and trash people for the hell of it.

    2 of the heros kenny listed, AJ and Mario, funny thing is Kenny became just like them, race anything at anytime and be competitive doing it. Thats what makes a great race car driver!

    All around nice guy I have always been a fan got to see him at a local track here in south ms and I believe the reason NASCAR is going down hill is because of the absence of drivers like him.

    @christolbert4628 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    He is one of my all time favorites. I remember when he was working on an engine, and he got his thumb cut off at the first joint on the fan belt. He still drove the next race even when the shifter broke. Lol. He shifted gears like this 👍

    I love Kenny Schrader. Not only is he a racers racer, he's a phenomenally humble, down to earth guy. He's the human prototype of Tony Stewart that he can drive and win anything.

      I do not know if that is supposed to be a compliment and/or a back-handed compliment or what, but, i think you owe Mr. Schrader an apology, either way.
      Also; Good Grief.

    • @peewee61693
      @peewee61693 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113 I'm not sure what your problem is. It's a compliment to both but before there was a Tony Stewart, there was a Kenny Schrader that could drive and win in any kind of car. The only thing I have to apologize for is that I think it's a good thing you can't reach your keg, sounds like you've has enough already. Perhaps that's why you've fallen.
