Pete Mayden drives the #1 Super Late Model Class car.  His home track is Salem Speedway but he can also be found racing at Winchester Speedway..  He lives in Sellersburg, IN.

Team members helping Pete are:  "Red" Warrmi, "Stiffler", "Big Bird", Technologies Engine, Kenny - Dad. 

Pete started racing in 1976 in the Go Kart Class at Madison, IN because it was just a natural fit growing up around a family of race car nuts!  His first win was that same year.  Career highlights include 1996 Late Model Champion at Salem Speedway (Only year NASCAR sanctioned), tied for all time Late Model victories at Salem Speedway, set fastest lap ever recorded in a stock car at Salem Speedway, many Feature wins in Super Lates at Winchester Speedway.

The thrill of racing for Pete is the satisfaction of knowing on that particular day, he has done better than anyone else.  His most exciting racing moment was when he won a Super Late Model race at Salem Speedway, beating NASCAR star Ernie Ervan at Salem Speedway in 1992.  He's most proud of always fielding a competitive car and running up front. 

Pete's racing hero is Cale Yarborough.

Of racing, Pete says, "Good family orientated sport!".
