Cory Schrader: 2025 Northport Modified Champion

NORTHPORT — Cory Schrader has now made it three out of the last four Modified championships at Northport International Raceway with his 2025 title.

Schrader, who began racing two decades ago in Fever Fours in 2005, earned 454 points and topped Trevor Warren (378) to win a fifth overall Modified championship at Northport, his sixth overall with that coming earlier in Fever Four.

In 2008, he transitioned into the Modifieds class, quickly making his mark by securing a championship that same year. This early success set the tone for a career defined by consistency, determination, and a calculated approach every time he takes to the track.

That, perhaps, may have played into Schrader breaking the 20-year-old track record of 18.72 with a fast lap of 18.64 and the following race beat it again with an 18.49 in 2024.

Schrader has showcased his skills on both dirt and asphalt tracks.

Schrader’s career has taken him to venues across Northport, Republic, Stateline, Monroe, Kalispell, and Wenatchee where he has earned respect and admiration from fans and competitors alike.

Off the track, Schrader is a devoted father and a tireless provider for his family. Balancing the demands of a high-octane racing career with his responsibilities at home, he works countless hours to ensure his loved ones are supported. His dedication and work ethic are as impressive as his racing accomplishments, making him a role model both on and off the track.

Schrader’s success is a combination of both skill, equipment and a bit a luck tossed in, but there’s more to it.
Thanks go out to his wife, Chelsea as well as Adrian Konkler, Trevor Warren, Mort Warren and Jason Warren for the help and support with my car on and off the track. And to promoter Cory Bell for making sure we have a place to race as well as Lori Zaitsoff for your continuous support over the years and motivation through the late-night calls and texts.
