NASCAR Star Schrader Continues Quest for DuQuoin Victory

NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Ken Schrader announced yesterday his intention to
compete in the Best Western Challenge for the Crate American Racing Series
Late Models at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds as part of the opening day of a
three day program of motorized events on the "Magic Mile".  Barring a
weather delay in the 500 lap NASCAR event at Bristol Saturday night, the
Fenton, Missouri native should be on the grounds Sunday morning to join a
growing list of C.A.R.S. pilots seeking the $1500 first prize in the late
model main event, which joins the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series for a
day of racing in Southern Illinois.

The fifty one year old Schrader made his USAC Stock Car debut at the DuQuoin
State Fair in 1979 and since that time has posted wins on the Indiana State
Fair mile and the Springfield mile in various types of machinery, but
ironically has yet to post a main event win on the "Magic Mile" at DuQuoin
in any type of race car.  Schrader considers the DuQuoin facility one of his
favorite tracks and the dirt fairground mile closest to his Fenton, Missouri
home.  Schrader continues the interest in the DuQuoin track by a number of
NASCAR Nextel Cup pilots that began with the appearance of Schrader and Tony
Stewart in 2001.  In fact, Schrader will have a second chance at a DuQuoin
win as he has filed an entry for the Labor Day Federated-Southern Illinois
100 ARCA RE/MAX Series stock car race.

Gates open at 9 a.m. with qualifications at approximately 11 and the flying
start of the Best Western-DuQuoin 50 at 2 p.m.  The CARS Best Western
Challenge late model feature will precede the main event for the ARCA
Lincoln Welders trucks and the CARS late models will be racing for a $1,500
first prize for capturing the 20 mile Best Western Challenge.  Tickets can
be obtained by calling the DuQuoin State Fair Box office at 618-542-1535,
Track Enterprises at 217-764-3200 or at any Ticketmaster location.  Tickets
are $15 for adults and just $5 for children.
