LEVI JONES – USAC HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2024

From the time he set off rolling down the road with his dad and their family-run racing operation, Levi Jones was determined to become a champion.

Originating from humble beginnings, Jones, born on June 10, 1982, wasn’t afraid to test his abilities against USAC’s best from the outset.  From the time he turned 16, the Olney, Illinois native learned the ropes, the trials and the tribulations.  After nearly seven seasons of USAC competition, he broke through for his first USAC Sprint Car win in 2004 on the dirt in Charlotte, North Carolina.

From that point forward, no driver was as consistently successful as Levi.  He earned his first USAC Sprint crown in 2005 for 2B Racing before joining Tony Stewart Racing’s stable where he reeled off successive championships in 2007-09-10-11.  To boot, he added back-to-back USAC Silver Crown titles in 2010-11 for TSR for a total of seven USAC national points championship in his masterful career.

In 2015, he hung up his helmet and joined USAC as its national series director and was ultimately named Vice President of Competition for the club’s Circle Track Division through 2021.  Jones was also instrumental in establishing many new foundational events for USAC, most notably the BC39 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
