How Ken Schrader Lost His Thumb

KS,,, Thats a true race car driver, many others have driven racecars, but he is a true racer.

I get the biggest kick out of Ken Schrader stories. The man is a total bad ass! But, doesn't act like it. Ken ran here in Michigan at Flat Rock Motor Speedway earlier in the season this year. He ran a borrowed Street Stock and finished like 6th. He was right behind my neighbors car for more than a few laps, I thought Man don't spin him or I won't be able to mention Kens name no more at the garage. Just a legend and a very nice guy.

I remember this ..! My cousin was racing in the Craftsman truck series and i was at the track and we heard about this… believe it or not i think about this every time the hood is open , really careful and watch where my hand are…! 😵‍💫🏁🏁

Crazy stories. ALWAYS, make sure everyone is on the same page. Right thumb was lanced open to the bone in 3 places, on a spinning-down Derale Tornado 16" fan. Thought it was a yellowjacket sting, till I flung blood everwhere. Off to the Emerg for them to scrub with iodine and use Vietnam Superglue stitches. Could have saved $600 if I had it on hand, so to speak. Now, I do.

So the rule of thumb was… don’t let Ken use any kind of power tools..

What was Schrader's impact speed when he hit the wall in the 2001 crash when Earnhardt was killed?
