Racing career 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. 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.

Larue returned to the Canada Series in 2025, finishing second in the race at Riverside International Speedway. In the 2025 Bud Light 250, his fourth career start, Larue beat Donald Theetge to score his first career NASCAR Canada Series win. He then finished second in the season finale at Autodrome Montmagny. Larue will compete in nine races in 2026.
