Edwards: “I don’t want to be anywhere else!”

REDCAR star Jason Edwards admits it was a “no-brainer” for him to return to the ECCO Arena in
2025 as the rising British star prepares for his fourth season in “Agilia” Bears colours.

Edwards, who has won league titles in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership and the WSRA
National League, admits he is settled and sees no reason to move on from Redcar.

Edwards said, ” It’s a no-brainer to be back with Redcar, I don’t want to be anywhere else and I
got my wish to be back in Redcar colours.

The likeable 22 year old is keen to build on his recent improvements in 2025, with the Bears
man aiming to hit a 7.5 average in the Cab Direct Championship this season.

He said, “We had a team practice at Scunthorpe around a week ago which went really well.
With Charles (Wright), Danny (King), and Erik (Riss) in the team, I can hopefully learn even
more from them which should help me improve as a rider and increase my average.”

The Redcar middle order man thinks the Bears possess the strongest top three in the Cab
Direct Championship in 2025, especially with the heat leaders’ experience on second tier
tracks.

Edwards said, “It’s good to have Erik back with us, he’s a very good Championship rider which
he proved when he guested for us a few times last season.

“In my opinion, our top three are the strongest on British tracks, quite a few of the other clubs
have strong heat leaders but they don’t all have the experience levels that ours do on UK
tracks.”

‘The Billericay Blaster’ admits that if the Bears are to win their second piece of team silverware,
this is their best chance. Edwards explained, “I genuinely think that if we are going to win a
trophy, 2025 is our best opportunity to do so with the side we have put together.”

The fourth year Bear believes the Cab Direct Championship will be a closely fought battle in
2025.

Edwards said, “Poole are always going to be there or thereabouts, they always build their team
slightly differently each year and it seems to work.

“Across the league, there are a lot of teams who could have a really good season but it does
depend on a few riders hitting the heights on a regular basis.”

Supporters are reminded that season tickets are still available at
www.redcar-speedway.com/shop with the club’s opening fixture coming against a Newcastle
Diamonds select on April 11 @ 7:30pm.
