Josh Stade Prepared to Outwork the Competition All Across Ontario in 2025

CHESLEY, ON - Perennial contender Josh Stade is once again poised to hit the road and chase Pro Late Model victories all over the province in 2025 - and he’ll do so with some brand new marketing partners behind the scenes. 

The family owned team has secured a new partnership with both Canadian Clean Fuels and Keith Welsh of Clear Water Shores Civil Engineering. 

“This is going to be a huge year for our team and I’m ecstatic to welcome some new partners on board for what we’ve got planned,” says Stade. “2025 is going to be all about swinging for the fences and going out and challenging for wins. We feel like we’ve built up a program that can absolutely contend at any track in Ontario and beyond”

“We aren’t afraid to try something different with our racecars so long as it teaches us something in the end,” continues the second-generation racer. “That’s paid off in spades these last few seasons and it’s helped us push our program to heights I’d never thought possible”

Stade is coming off of a massive 2024 campaign that saw him earn an extended-distance APC United Late Model Series victory at Sunset Speedway as well as an 8th-place finish in a 37-car field during Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway’s ‘All American 400 Weekend’.

“We have all the momentum in the world behind us right now and I can’t wait to get back on track to pushing forward,” says Stade. “I feel like we’ve done a really good job of staying on top of how quickly this division has evolved and we’re going to have the chance to keep showcasing that this season”

“This is a volunteer-based team full of guys that want this every bit as much as I do,” adds ‘Prime Time’. “They want to outwork the rest of the Pro Late Model teams in Ontario and I’ll never be able thank them enough for that. I can never pay them back for all of the hours and the effort they’ve put in - but I can absolutely come out and put together some performances that they can be proud of this season.”

Josh Stade’s 2025 campaign will be fueled by Canada Flat Roof Systems, Dayco Canada, Ferrier Contracting, Vinny’s Masonry, N. Piccoli Construction, Nicol Insurance, J Bumstead Financial, Ryan Enright Co-Operators Insurance, APC Auto Parts, MEI Paving, JBM Electric, Bruce Service Sales & Rentals, Canadian Clean Fuels and Keith Welsh of Clear Water Shores Civil Engineering. 

Josh and team will kickstart their 2025 season with Sunset Speedway’s 100-lap Steve Slaughter Classic on Saturday May 3rd.
