PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — As a talented 16-year-old driver, Evan Slater is poised for his professional racing debut. With the support of his primary sponsor CUBE 3 Architects, he will kick off his season by participating in his first Trans Am Championship Series. The 12-race series spans across the county, commencing in February at Florida’s Sebring Int’l Raceway and concluding at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, in November.
Slater, who is supported by the Stevens-Miller Racing team, is a strong contender for the Trans Am National Championship, Rookie of the Year, and Young Gun Award.Â
CUBE 3 founder Nik Middleton has been keeping a close eye on Evan since they met in the spring of 2019.
“He’s naturally talented, with a maturity beyond his years.” Middleton said. “I plan to be by his side for every minute of every ride.”
Slater got his start in indoor karting at age 7 and was immediately noticed and encouraged to take his talent to outdoor karting competitions. Slater began racing in New Hampshire, and after winning Rookie of the Year in NHKA in his debut year, he hit the national karting circuit. Always a quick study behind the wheel, he honed his skills and carried them to his first season in a Spec Racer Ford 3.
Since 2017, Evan has been developing his skills and expanding his vision, winning the respect of professional race drivers and crews around the country.Â
“Evan’s ability, passion, and focus at his young age, is a very rare and unique sight,” said Joe Stevens, the owner of Stevens-Miller Racing.
