AAA and USAC Championship Car series

Stevenson drove in the AAA and USAC Championship Car series, racing in the 1949-1954, 1960–1961 and 1963-1965 seasons with 54 starts, including the Indianapolis 500 races in 1951-1954, 1960–1961, and 1963-1965. He finished in the top ten 37 times, with 4 victories, 2 of them coming in the 1952 season when he won the AAA National Championship.

Panamericana race

In 1951 Stevenson drove a Nash-Healey course (pace) car for the grueling 2,000-mile (3,219 km) Carrera Panamericana race.[1] This endurance event is described as one of the most dangerous automobile races of any type in the world, and Stevenson had to be ahead of the racers to ensure the way was clear.[1] In both 1952 & 1953 he won the sedan class driving a Lincoln, the only two-time winner in the history of the Panamericana.

NASCAR

Stevenson also raced in two NASCAR events: one in 1955 and one in 1956, picking up a win at Willow Springs Raceway in 1956 driving a Ford.[2] In the 1955 race, he was driving a car owned by Indy winner Pete DePaolo.[3]
