Jade Avedisian (born September 14, 2006)[1] is an American professional auto racing driver. She competes part-time in the CARS Pro Late Model Tour, driving the No. 24 for Wilson Motorsports.

Career

[edit]

Avedisian began racing Quarter midgets at seven years old.[2][3] Spending most of her early career in USAC-sanctioned competitions, Avedisian won the 2017 Junior Micro Sprint title,[4] before winning the Tulsa Shootout in the Restricted class and the NOW600 title in both the Restricted and A-class categories the following year.[5][6]

Joining CB Industries ahead of 2021 for a part-time schedule in the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League,[7] Avedisian scored a lone top five, coming at Merced Speedway, where she finished fourth. During 2021, Avedisian also competed in Micro Sprints, in which she took three wins in the first half of the year,[8] before ending the year with a win in the non-wing class of the Turkey Bowl and a third place finish in the same race albeit in Super 600.[9]

Remaining with CB Industries for 2022, Avedisian switched to midgets, taking her first win in the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series at Jacksonville Speedway,[10] before taking another win at I-44 Riverside Speedway and also taking a Super 600 win at Delta Speedway.[11][12]

In 2023, Avedisian joined Keith Kunz Motorsports,[13] with whom she won the Xtreme Outlaw Series Midget title, becoming the first female to win a national Midget title.[14] During 2023, Avedisian also became the first female to finish on the podium at the Chili Bowl Nationals,[15] and finished 18th in the final, earning her the rookie of the year, Fuzzy Hahn highest finishing female and Jason Leffler Elbows Up awards.[16]

After joining Toyota Racing Development in late 2023, Avedisian returned to both the USAC National Midget and XTREME National Midget series, whilst also making her debut on asphalt by competing part-time in the Toyota GR Cup North America.[17] On dirt, Avedisian finished runner-up in the Australian Speedcar Championship,[18] and took a podium at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway-based BC39, but an injury sustained during that event sidelined her for the rest of the season.[19] In Toyota GR Cup North America meanwhile, Avedisian finished 17th in the overall standings with a best result of fourth at Circuit of the Americas.[20]

In 2025, Avedisian expanded her stock car commitments, racing in the New Smyrna Speedway-based World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing,[21] and racing part-time in the CARS Pro Late Model Tour for Wilson Motorsports.[22] Avedisian became the first female to win in the series at the season-opening race at All-American Speedway, following T. J. DeCaire's disqualification.[23]

Alongside her Pro Late Model commitments, Avedisian is also set to race in select races in the Trans-Am Series' TA2 category.[24]

On July 29, 2025, it was announced that Avedisian will make her ARCA Menards Series debut at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds dirt track, driving the No. 25 Toyota for Venturini Motorsports.[25]
