Alex Slade Racing

𝑾𝒐𝒘, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏! ❤️🏁 It definitely didn't come without its challenges…

This season came with some incredible highs, but also plenty of mistakes, tough nights, some wild rides and moments where I lost confidence in myself.

I've worked hard to keep improving, earn the respect and trust from the veterans, take accountability when mistakes are made and learn every chance I can. It’s been an honor to learn from some pretty incredible drivers this season!

The trophies may be fewer than in years past, but the lessons, experience and growth have been priceless.

I'm so thankful for every opportunity, everyone who has helped me along the way and all those who have believed in me through the highs and lows.

There's still so much to learn, and I'm grateful for every bit of this journey.

At just 10 years old, Alex Slade excels in A-Class and Non-Wing Micro Sprint racing, aiming for a full-time Factory Fourteen ride by 2027.

The beginning, you ask? Well, it started with a 5-year-old boy who almost lost the race because he was itching his nose on the last lap. 😂🏁

Then came the 19-hour drive home…with a REAL gator head trophy that smelled TERRIBLE 🐊🤢

That little boy had no idea how far racing would take him.

Now we’re celebrating big A-Class Micro wins, competing against incredible drivers, and working toward even bigger dreams. But when I look back at this journey, the wins aren’t the only things that stand out.

It’s the people ❤️ The ones who have helped us, taught me, encouraged me, given me opportunities, and stood in our corner through all the ups and downs. The friendships, the lessons, and the support from so many amazing people are a huge part of why I get to keep doing what I love.

I’m proud of how far we’ve come, but I know the work is far from over. I’m still that same kid who loves racing, and I’m going to keep giving it everything I’ve got 👊 and save any nose itching for after the checkered.

𝗔-𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗜𝗨𝗠! 🥉🔥

Qualified P3, picked up the heat WIN, and finished P3 in the A MAIN! 👊

𝗡𝗢𝗡-𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗚- Qualified P2, Started 3rd in the Heat and drove to the LEAD before a broken chain ended our run 💔 With a deep start in the B-Main, we made the call to withdraw and focus on A-Class.

Overall, an awesome weekend! It’s been a season of learning, growing, and continuing to put the pieces together. It sure feels good to see that work paying off and to be the young kid out there mixing it up with the best in the business! 🤘

Huge thank you to Billy, Holley, Harley and everyone at Factory Fourteen for everything and big congrats to Jett Nunley Racing on the win!

Texas, we’re coming for you! 🤠🏁

One VERY Thankful and Excited Kid! I think the smile says it all! 😀🏁

Holley, Billy, Harley and everyone at Factory Fourteen put so much time, hard work, and heart into this team! I’m honored to be part of what they’re building and beyond excited to sign with them for 2027! ✍️

They put that same heart into helping me grow - teaching me, believing in me, and pushing me to get better. At 10 years old, I have a lot of learning and growing up ahead of me. I’m grateful to be surrounded by people who set such a great example on and off the track.

Our A-Class WIN at Port City Raceway last month was one of the biggest highlights of my racing career! 🏆 I can’t wait to keep chasing moments like that together!

This team gives 110%, and I’m ready to do the same! ALL IN, BABY! Let’s get to work! 👊🔥

𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝟓 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐄! 👊🔥

We took on a stacked 54 car field in NON-WING at Port City Raceway for the National Open Wheel 600 Series!

Locked straight into the A after qualifying 3rd and finishing 2nd in my heat 🔒 Rolled off 10th in the feature, but a pileup on lap 1 left me nowhere to go.

Thankfully, no damage was done! Just a trip to the tail and a LOT of ground to make up!

Put my head down and went to WORK! 💪 Nearly grabbed a PODIUM spot with 1 to go, before catching the cushion a little too hard and letting 4th slip past. Brought home 5th, learned a ton and had a blast doing it!

This finish has a whole lot of teamwork behind it! 🤝 Billy Lawhead, Holley Hollan, and the entire Factory Fourteen crew never stopped working through the challenges this weekend gave us. Can’t thank them and everyone enough who makes all of this possible!

A Tough Start, A Determined Comeback and an Unfinished Fight Last Night 👊 Bring on Night #2!

A mechanical mishap in qualifying left me with no time and buried in points. Dug deep and fought my way into the A Main the hard way 💪 Only to get caught in a wreck ahead of me just one lap in. We had lots of speed just no real results to show for it!

That’s racing! Taking the speed, the lessons, and the fight into the next two nights at Port City Raceway for the National Open Wheel 600 Series! 🔥
