Schrader on Short Track Racing at ORP: “I am tickled to death to be heading back to a short track this weekend. Our best finish this season so far came at Mansfield back in May. For a driver, short track racing can be a lot of fun but for the teams it can be hard when you have to fix all the damage. It can be grueling at times due to how tight the track is, but it is one of the few times we can beat and bang and not get in trouble for it. Well, you can still get in trouble, but you can get away with more things.”
