Racing career

Levin debuted in the K&N Pro Series West in March 2015 at Kern County Raceway Park. [2]

During the NAPA Auto Parts 150 at Kern County in April 2016, Levin was involved in a spectacular accident just as they were taking a late restart. After Blaine Perkins got spun by Julia Landauer, Levin spun her out in reaction and then while trying to get away, made contact with Perkins and tipped over onto his roof. He climbed from the wreckage without injury.

In 2019, Levin scored his first career top-five finish at his home track in Tucson. [3]
