BC Late Models starting 2025 race season Saturday at Saratoga Speedway

B.C.’s top class for stock car racing will start their 2025 racing season this weekend at Saratoga Speedway. 

The LD Industries BC Late Models start their season this Saturday night, with competitors from all over the province entering. 

Courtenay resident and third generation racer Kyle Wade is one competitor and says he learned a lot during his debut season last year. 

“I feel more confident heading into this year as a driver and we’re hoping that translates to results on the track.” 

The 27-year-old finished second in BC Late Model points last year and is hoping to score his first win this season. 

He’ll be competing against Western Speedway Late Model champion Jason Frost and former Saratoga Speedway stock car champion Charlie Ackerman among others. 

Also, in action on Saturday night will be the Upland Contracting IMOD Modifeds, GT Fabrication Island Street Stocks, Howie’s Car Corral OTRA, and the Island Outlaw 4 Mini Stocks.
