Meansville native and Rev Racing driver Madeline “Mad Maddie” Crane has had plenty of success in the nine years that she’s been behind the wheel of a race car. Clearly, she was listening when someone told her to chase her dreams. As a 10-year-old, Crane showed that she had what it takes to compete, winning back-to-back races in the “Thursday Night Thunder Series” at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Fast forward five years and the 19-year-old just finished her second season with Rev Racing and was once again named a participant in the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Combine. [Full story »]
