Kaukauna, WI – Former NASCAR Cup Series winner Kenny Schrader will serve as Grand Marshal for the Gandrud Auto Group 250 this Tuesday, August 4, at Wisconsin International Raceway. Schrader is a winner at all three of NASCAR’s national touring levels and made over 760 NASCAR Cup Series starts between 1984 and 2013. In addition to serving as Grand Marshal, Schrader will also be available to meet fans and sign autographs during a special pre-race autograph session.
While his accomplishments on NASCAR’s biggest stages are well documented, Schrader has never strayed far from his short track roots. Throughout his career, he has remained one of the nation’s most active racers, competing in hundreds of events annually across the country, most recently in Dirt Modified competition. He has also enjoyed success in Super Late Models, Sprint Cars, and Midgets. Schrader is no stranger to Wisconsin International Raceway, either, finishing runner up to Joe Shear in the 1994 Dixieland 250.
