Wade finished his sophomore season in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Southern Division in fourth place, behind Mark McFarland, Michael Ritch and Caleb Holman. Wade will not be running in the Championship Series events this year. Last year, Wade finished 11th in the regular series standings, with an average starting position of 10.38 and finishing position of 16.25. This year, he improved on both of those averages, starting in 5.88 (6 of 8 starts were 4th or better with 2 poles) and a finishing average of 12.28. The only laps Wade did not complete this year were at Bristol after being hit and knocked out of the race at lap 30. Wade was a contender in every event this year except Milwaukee, leading 335 laps, second only to McFarland in the Southern Division. Thank you for the support throughout the season and as future plans develop, we will update them here.

Wednesday brought the extremes of lows and highs as the Hooters Pro Cup series visited his home track at Bristol. Only four laps into the first practice session, Wade suffered a rare engine problem. The team feverishely worked to swap engines from the back up car and had it fired up just in time for the second practice session. Wade had the 15th fastest time in practice as they shook down the new engine, but he was happy with the way the car was handling. We all found out why he was happy when the team put on a new set of tires and headed out to qualify, putting the car on the pole. Wade would need a miracle finish and some trouble for Mark McFarland and Michael Ritch in order to overtake them for the regular season championship, but those hopes came to an abrupt end as McFarland hit the left rear of Wade's car on lap 27, breaking the track bar support in the process. This ended Wade's night and his streak of completing every lap in the Pro Cup South tour up to that point. A full race report will be coming soon...
