DUQUOIN IL (9-4-06)—It took 30 years to get there but NASCAR Nextel Cup Series veteran Ken Schrader finally got to where he always wanted to go – to the Winner’s Circle at the historic DuQuoin State Fairgrounds. Schrader, in his own Federated Auto Parts Chevrolet, handily won the 54th annual ARCA RE/MAX Series Southern Illinois 100 Monday afternoon.
Schrader swept the day posting the fastest practice speeds and winning the Pork Pole Award, his 13th career series pole and second at DuQuoin. Schrader, who had competed in the Nextel Cup race at California Speedway the night before, also led 63 of 100 laps en route to his 14th career RE/MAX Series triumph in his 42nd series attempt.
