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.[2] 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 thirteenth.[2]
Personal life
Lewis currently resides in his hometown of Ransomville, New York, where he continues to run dirt modifieds.[2]
