Steve Lewis Jr. (born January 18, 1999) is an American professional stock car racing driver who competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series driving the No. 62 Chevrolet for Steve Lewis Racing.

Racing career

From 2017 to 2022, Lewis competed in various dirt modified series such as the Super DIRTcar Big-Block Modified Series, the DIRTcar 358-Modified Series, a series where he would finish eighth in points in 2021, and the Mighty TQ Midgets of Western New York.[1]

In the fall of 2022, Lewis contacted Kyle Sieg and purchased an intermediate ARCA Menards Series car from RSS Racing that would need a new motor, transmission, and rear end and converted it into a superspeedway car with help from fellow driver Andy Jankowiak.[2] Lewis would take part in pre-season testing at Daytona International Speedway in January and would finish 36th and 45th in the time sheets for Friday and Saturday respectively.[3] [4] He would then be approved to race by ARCA afterwards.[5] He would make his debut in the series in the season opening race at Daytona in the No. 62 Chevrolet. After starting 24th, he would go on to finish 13th.[6]

Personal life

Lewis currently resides in his hometown of Ransomville, New York, where he continues to run dirt modifieds.[7]
