                  KEN SCHRADER NOTES & QUOTES: CMT 300
 

LOUDON, NH -"We earned our first pole of the season here in July. That pole 
was a big boost to the team. It really added momentum. I hope we can capture 
the pole again."---Kenny Schrader, driver of the Skoal Bandit Racing Chevrolet

"When we were here in July, we had a great car and captured the pole," said
Schrader. "During the race we had a problem with blistering tires. The Skoal
Bandit Racing team feels they have corrected that problem and should have a
much better race set-up."

Schrader heads to NHIS for the sixth time in his career where he has qualified
in the top 10 for every event, including one pole and two top-five finishes.
Schrader and the Skoal Bandit Racing team earned their first pole of the
season in July's Jiffy Lube 300. The pole was Schrader's 19th of his career,
but his first with Andy Petree Racing. 

This weekend the Skoal Bandit Racing team will be utilizing the same car that
captured the pole at New Hampshire in July. It is named "Bat Masterson" after
the fastest and most respected gunslinger of the 1800's. The Skoal Bandit
Racing team deemed it an appropriate name since they had the fastest car in
July and hope to have the fastest car this weekend.

Schrader will be signing autographs at the Laconia Race Festival in Laconia,
N.H., on Wednesday, September 10, 1997 from 5-7 pm. He will then travel to
Boston, Mass., to spend the day with some old friends.
