Garen Shrader returns to the Michelin PRO Rally Series after a multi-year hiatus from the sport, in long awaited partnership with his father, Floyd "Doc" Shrader, in the co-drivers seat. Although he will contest the season as a Seed 6 "novice", he has been rallying most of his life.
He co-drove in several Regional PRO rallies before becoming the youngest PRO rally driver at the 1982 POR at the age of 17. "I remember Dad teaching me car control in his rally cars on gravel long before driver's ed."
Prior to starting a new business, Shrader's last season was in the "ex-Doc" Dodge Daytona. He is returning in the Dave Clark Motorsport prepared Ford Sierra Cosworth with a seasoned and experienced co-driver, his father. He will contest the entire season in the Open class.
Garen owns and operates Garen Shrader Designs, an art and antique business in Memphis, Tennessee.
