Ken Schrader completed his cross-country NASCAR Sprint Cup/ARCA double Monday, racing in the Southern Illinois 100 less than 15 hours after completing his weekend Cup duties.
After finishing 41st in Sunday's Pepsi 500 at Auto Club Speedway, a race that ended around midnight Eastern time, Schrader flew to Illinois for the race on the dirt track at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds. He went on to finish third in the afternoon race, which was won by Frank Kimmel.
“[It was a] good effort,” Schrader said. “Basically there were two cars I was racing all day. This is the best racing I’ve seen here at DuQuoin, and it seems to just keep getting better every year.”
