Our “CHAMPION” that started it all!

Our love for racing all began with our Grandfather, Bayliss Levrett. Born February 14, 1923 in Jacksonville, FL. At a very young age Bayliss loved the thrill of working on cars and eventually was able to start his racing career in 1946 while in California as he was starting his family and working at his own automotive repair shop. He made a name for himself being a self funded racer until 1949 when he was able to drive back to Indiana and race in the now famous “Indianapolis 500”. He would race at Indy for several years and was nominated as Rookie of the Year in 1949. Unfortunately, the cars never did well and his last race ended in a fiery crash putting him up in the hospital for months with 3rd degree burns on over 50% of his body. He returned back to California to retire his racing career and was recognized for his accomplishments in 2007 being inducted into the Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2007 and will forever be our “Champion”.

The itch did not stop with him as our father, John Levrett, began racing dirt motorcycles. He too found himself funding his own dreams of becoming a professional driver and realized at the time, he needed to raise his family and focus on his automotive shop as things were very tight financially. As the financial ease came so did more racing with the next two generations and where we are now.

We have a family owned and operated sprint car team now located out of Reno, Nevada. Currently running both winged and non-winged sprints throughout Nevada and California. Our driver is Trey Walters and has been racing since the age of four starting in Outlaw Karts and worked his way up to full size sprint cars. He continues to drive almost every weekend as the season begins in late February to the end of October. Trey himself has had much success earning himself Rookie of the Year honors in 2017. He continues to be a force to reckon with.

We currently have several sponsors that help our team compete weekly. We are forever grateful for these businesses that see the value in sponsoring a small family owned team. We proudly represent them on and off the track.
