Both drivers, who are business partners in the track, will be signing autographs and talking racing to their many fans.
Schrader, who focuses on NASCAR Sprint Cup racing, is also well known for his short track racing exploits all over the country. A fan favorite at PIR as well as all over the nation, Schrader will take time out of his busy schedule to join Dale, Jr. at the autograph table Friday night.
Reserved tickets for the event are still available and may be purchased by calling the PIR office (270-898-7469) during regular business hours.

A six-division racing program is on tap with heats and features for the UMP Super Late Models, Modifieds, Pro (Crate) Late Models, and Street Stocks, along with the 4-cylinder Warriors and Vintage Racers. Because of the special nature of the evening’s festivities, the Super Late Model winner will receive $1500 and the Modified driver taking the checkered flag first receives $600.
NASCAR Stars Dale Earnhardt, Jr, Ken Schrader, and Promoter Bob Sargent purchased Paducah International Raceway in November of 2005. Two-time NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart joined the trio of co-owners as a partner in September of 2006.
