William "Will" Larue is a Canadian professional stock car racing driver. He competes part-time in the NASCAR Canada Series, driving the No. 45 Chevrolet for his family's team, Larue Motorsport.
Larue began attending races as a teenager, but took an interest in racing through sim racing, and with guidance from former Larue Motorsport driver Alex Labbé, made the leap to the track. [1] He began racing in 2018 after purchasing a late model stock car. Since 2019, Larue has competed in multiple late model stock races each year at Autodrome Chaudière, the track where he would later score his first win in the car. [1]
Larue made his first of two NASCAR Canada Series starts in 2024 at Autodrome Chaudière. [2] Power steering issues would relegate him to a 21st place finish in the 22 car field. [3] He would return for the series finale at Autodrome Montmagny, where he finished second to Kevin Lacroix. [4]
Larue returned to the Canada Series in 2025, finishing second in the race at Riverside International Speedway. [5] In the 2025 Bud Light 250, his fourth career start, Larue beat Donald Theetge to score his first career NASCAR Canada Series win. [6]
