Career Highlights
Landen Lewis is the reigning 2025 CARS Tour Late Model Stock champion and one of the youngest drivers to win a touring-series title in recent short track history.
Born February 26, 2006, Lewis grew up in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, and found racing early. In 2021, at age fifteen, he won the Legend Car "Trifecta" — Dirt, Asphalt, and Road Course Nationals — plus the North Carolina State Championship. That same year, he made his ARCA Menards Series debut and won in his second start, leading all 104 laps of the Southern Illinois 100 at DuQuoin State Fairgrounds Racetrack.
Lewis joined Kevin Harvick Inc. for a full-time CARS Tour LMSC campaign, and in 2025 he delivered the organization's first driver's championship in sixteen years. Lewis racked up four wins — at Ace Speedway, Anderson Motor Speedway, Florence Motor Speedway, and North Wilkesboro Speedway — and clinched the title with a seventh-place finish in the season finale at North Wilkesboro. He joins NASCAR Hall of Famer Ron Hornaday Jr. as the only two drivers to win championships with Kevin Harvick's organization.
For 2026, Lewis returns to KHI and the CARS Tour in the No. 29 while also stepping up to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series on a part-time basis with Niece Motorsports, driving the No. 45 alongside Ross Chastain and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. He plans to run all scheduled CARS Tour events through the Hickory Motor Speedway race in August.
At Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in April 2026, Lewis finished fifth in the LMSC feature — a strong result at a track nobody had raced before. The defending champion remains a factor in the 2026 title race as the season unfolds.
