Veteran NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Ken Schrader will attempt to qualify Richard Childress Racing’s No. 33 Camping World Chevrolet for the May 24 Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
Schrader, 57, of Fenton, Mo, made his Cup Series debut in 1984 and ran his first full Cup Series season in 1985. After 20 full seasons in NASCAR’s premier division, the veteran racer has tallied one win, six top-five and 13 top-10 finishes in 44 starts at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
Camping World’s blue and gold paint scheme will adorn the No. 33 Chevrolet Impala SS.
- Coca-Cola 600 likely to keep name
- Bill Elliott to run Coca Cola 600 in the famed Wood Brothers #21
- Video: Casey Mears wins his first Nextel Cup race, the 2007 Coca Cola 600
- Almirola pulled from Coca Cola 600 entry list
- Coke Zero to sponsor Petty in Nextel Open/Coke 600
good luck Ken. now show them how it is really done. race the wheels off that 33.
Ken show the Kyle Schrub how to race with respect ……..
I once saw Ken race a Dirt modified at Big Diamond Speedway here in NEPA, and he couldn’t get out of his own way.
Wouldnt it bee nice to see Ken is victory lane… What a pimp he is
Ken is 53, not 57, even though he moves like he is. This could just be a way of Childress thanking Ken for being a friend to him and Big E. Letting him drive the best equipment he’s had (in years) at the waning end of his career.

you got a good point, although it is also sad to see past greats fall from grace, elliot comes to mind, as well as ken and a few others who keep diggin
Ganjadude (love the name
ha ha! Yeah it is sad but at least they keep diggin! I saw an interview with Ken and he said he gives it a couple more years of cup and then he will move on the next best thing in racing wich I could see being Nationwide or Trucks. He is a true racer at heart and will be racing for a long time to come.
