(Bill W) April 6, 2009 – Ken Schrader is the latest entry in the 6th Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Nationals presented by SuperClean. The event will be held October 1-3, 2009, and will pay out over a quarter of a million dollars in prize money, including $40,000 to the winner!
Schrader joins fellow Sprint Cup Drivers Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman in the sixty-six car field. Ken will pilot the Ken Schrader Racing #9. This will mark Schrader’s fourth consecutive appearance at the Late Model Nationals, but he is no stranger to the track in other forms as well.
