Scheme isn't really a language like CL is. Scheme's R5RS standard is pretty minimal, and last time I checked (admittedly it's been awhile) R6RS is not that widely implemented (a lot of implementers never liked it).

Each implementation has its own way of doing things. Some are simple, and some are relatively baroque. Racket is more on the baroque end, though probably less so than CL.
