Kade Higday's passion for racing began at just five years old. Over the years, he has developed his skills through a variety of disciplines, including four-wheelers, go-karts, micro sprints, and ultimately sprint cars. Coming from a racing family, Kade benefits from the guidance of his father, Josh Higday-an 18-time feature winner, former 360 points champion at Knoxville Raceway and Knoxville Raceway Hall of Fame inductee-who lends his expertise as his crew chief.

The 2025 season marks Kade's twelfth year racing sprint cars, and his career continues to show strong momentum. He currently holds eight career feature wins at Knoxville Raceway. In 2023, he captured the Pro Sprints points championship while also gaining valuable experience behind the wheel of both 360 and 410 sprint cars.

In 2024, Kade stepped up full-time to Knoxville's competitive 360 class, where he was named Rookie of the Year. Highlights of his season include a third-place podium finish on his preliminary night of the 360 Nationals. He closed out the season with a fifth-place finish in points, collecting 2 top-five finishes and 7 top-ten finishes across 13 feature events.

In 2025, Kade continued competing in the 360 division driving the Kade Higday Racing 24H. Though his season had its ups and downs, he did win his first career 360 main event at Knoxville.
