Fadden Racing - Driver: Todd Aldrich

For Fadden Racing, It's A True Family Affair

Todd Aldrich, younger brother of Mike Olsen, has always been a part of Faddden Racing Inc. From an early age he traveled to races with his grandfather, Stub and brother Mike.

In 1996, Aldrich worked for Olsen as a part time shop mechanic and crew member, as well as driving his own limited schedule in various divisions, such as mini stocks and NEMCAR.  After graduating college in 1998, Aldrich became a full time employee for Fadden Racing and remained there through 2003, when he left the family business to pursue a career in Real Estate and then banking. Aldrich is now employed with Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank as a Branch Manager and Residential Lender.

In 2001 Aldrich decided to step up his driving career and build a Late Model with the support of Fadden Racing and his family.  He debuted his rookie season at the highly competitive White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, NH.  His freshman season was a good one --   finishing 8th in the point standings and capturing his first Late Model win under the guidance of his grandfather and crew chief, Stanley "Stub" Fadden.  Stub is still a key player overseeing Aldrich and the #17 Late Model Team.

The 2008 season resulted in 9 top five finishes an a 4th place finish in the point standings. He attributes his competitive season to the support of his dedicated sponsors and crew.

Other career accomplishments are several Late Model wins including a Triple Crown win in 2003. He also made his NASCAR Camping World Series debut in 2006 behind the wheel of a Fadden Racing entry where he out-qualified regulars to make the field.  An accident cut the day short in the Feature, but Aldrich impressed many seasoned veterans in his debut.

Aldrich and his wife Maryanne currently reside in North Haverhill, NH with their son Samuel who was born in July of 2007.  Aldrich hopes to continue his late model efforts and has made it a goal to win a track championship.
