Ken has been considered as one of the nicest Nascar drivers and is has a lot of class in the garage area. In some races if he is involved in a crash with another driver he will check to see if the driver is okay. The only time a driver was not okay was the time when Schrader and Dale Earnhardt tangled on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.
