Dave Mader (October 19, 1930 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Birmingham, AL. He competed in six Sprint Cup Series events in his career. All of those races came in 1961, when Mader finished 61st in points. He struggled mightily in his debut, finishing last (34th) at Daytona after an early crash. He finished 16th then at Darlington, which turned out to be his best career finish because he failed to finish his final four races (best finish of 21st in that time frame)
