Daytona Beach, FL — When the regional touring series Chad Mahder ran last year in Iowa closed down, he went looking for something closer to home. The 25-year-old from Eou Claire, Wisc., found it in the form of Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisc.
He also found plenty of success.
Mahder, who is coming off a weekend where he finished first and third in twin features, has six wins and nine top fives in 12 races in his first year running in a NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Feature Division.
