Stephanie Stevens
ARDC Midget #26

Racing Background:

Stephanie is thoroughly enjoying her third full season with the “side-by-side and three wide” ARDC wingless midgets. She’s been fortunate to be able to race family owned and operated equipment for the past 16 years, thanks to the hard work of her dad, mom, uncle and the continuous support of sponsors. She advanced to the ARDC midgets after one and a half years in the Northeast Ford Focus pavement midget series, in which she finished 4th in the season points and won the Earl’s Fast Qualifying Championship. Before that, she competed in 270cc winged micro-sprints for 5 years, earning a high of 3rd in track series points. She started her racing career in go-karts, in which she won 5 dirt track championships in three different age divisions.

Stephanie describes herself as being a competitive, clean, and versatile racecar driver that prefers dirt track racing. She welcomes the opportunity to drive different types of racecars to “fill-in” the midget schedule and gain valuable experience. This year, Stephanie is grateful for the opportunity to drive a 305 sprint car (CRSA and PASS series) and 270cc and 600cc micro-sprint for Rob Warko Racing.

Personal Info:

Stephanie is a 2006 graduate of Messiah College, PA where she earned her B.S. in mechanical engineering. After working 1.5 years as a Design Engineer, she is currently pursuing other career options....one of which is becoming a middle school math teacher. When not racing or working on the cars, she enjoys exercising, being outside, and catching up with friends.
