Matthew Laprade's 2026 Racing Program

At 14 years old, Matthew Laprade is running one of the most demanding schedules of any young driver in grassroots stock car racing.

In 2026, Matthew competes across four divisions simultaneously — Pro Trucks, Late Model Stock Cars, Asphalt Modifieds, and Sportsman — each with a different team, a different set of tracks, and a different challenge to overcome. It is a program built for development, built for competition, and built to prepare Matthew for a professional career at the highest level.

Four Divisions. Four Teams.
One Mission.
