WELCOME TO the team

For the last 17 years, Jared Wade has been racing in speedway. Today, the Wade Racing team is a family effort with Jared Wade as the current competing driver. Jared is one of the most successful speedway drivers in New Zealand, and has won many events and major titles in his racing career.

In 2003 at 20 years old, Jared was the youngest driver to ever win the NZ Superstock Championship. He went on to back this up by winning his first of three Waikato Championships that same year. In Superstock ranks Jared has been crowned 1NZ, 2nd NZ GP and 3rd North Island Champs twice. With his Waikato Team, Jared has also placed 3rd twice at NZ Teams Champs.

In 2014, the team decided to change direction and Jared competed in the Midget class for a new challenge out of Western Springs in Auckland. During this time Jared finished 3rd in the country at the NZ Midget champs and 3rd in the North Island Midget Champs.

In 2016, after a ‘Bring Back Wade’ campaign from Superstock fans, Jared decided it was time to return to the sport he loved. Jared has been known as a big hitter in the Superstock class and this has made him one of the most popular Superstock drivers in New Zealand.
