Slade Stewart: The Man Behind the Unicorn Livery
Slade Stewart is a U.S.-based professional racecar driver and entrepreneur best known in Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America for piloting the #14 Flying Lizard Motorsports Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2—famously wrapped in his daughter‑designed pink unicorn livery, dubbed “Sparklefarts.”
Early Career & 2022 Breakthrough
Stewart entered Super Trofeo in 2022 in the Lamborghini Cup (LB Cup) class. After a dramatic weekend at Portimão—where a heavy crash in practice nearly derailed his campaign—he made an impressive comeback to finish third in the second race, clinching the LB Cup driver’s championship “the hardest way possible.” That early title cemented him as a rising star in the series.
Transition to Pro-Am in 2023 & 2024
In 2023, Stewart moved up to the Pro-Am class, partnering with veteran coach-driver Andy Lee at Flying Lizard Motorsports. Their collaboration has proven highly effective, blending Stewart’s enthusiasm with Lee’s technical expertise.
During the 2024 season, the duo scored several consistent finishes. At Watkins Glen, they placed fourth in both Pro-Am races, which was enough to vault them into the class points lead over their own teammates. While they didn’t secure a win, their consistency and steady accumulation of points marked them as serious championship contenders.
Slade Stewart’s combination of personality, distinctive livery, and on‑track performances—especially alongside Andy Lee—has made him one of the most recognizable figures in North American Super Trofeo racing.

Prior to his Super Trofeo career, Lee earned Rookie of the Year honors in 2012 in the Pirelli World Challenge driving a Chevrolet Camaro with Bondurant and Best IT backing, finishing runner‑up in the championship. Over his multi‑discipline career—including Trans Am, GT4 America, IMSA Continental Challenge, and more—he has amassed over 11 career wins, about 36 podiums, and more than a dozen pole positions.
Rise to Lamborghini Super Trofeo
Lee joined Flying Lizard Motorsports for the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America series alongside co‑driver Slade Stewart. The pair entered the Pro‑Am category in 2023, marking a new chapter in Lee’s endurance‑style career focusing on coaching and refined racecraft.
2023 Season – Establishing the Partnership
In the 2023 Pro‑Am season, Lee and Stewart competed in 12 races, scoring one podium and one pole. They finished 9th in the class championship with 31 points, setting the stage for a stronger push in 2024.
2024 Breakthrough – Class Podium and Pole
2024 was a milestone year. Over 12 Pro‑Am races, Lee and Stewart secured the Pro‑Am class championship win at WeatherTech Raceway and added another podium and two poles overall. They ended up third in the season standings with 83 points—becoming consistent front-runners thanks to Lee’s composure and Stewart’s spirited pace behind the wheel.
