ND alum Adam Stevens continues digging in NASCAR as top-notch crew chief

by

When one thinks of Portsmouth, Ohio and the Scioto County area, many people think of the great sportsmen that have hailed within the county’s lines.

All went on to be standouts and enjoy professional careers as either players and/or coaches.

However, there’s another sports figure out there who is developing, perhaps quietly even, one of the greatest NASCAR Cup Series crew chief resumes of all time.

A resume so good, in fact, that it could have him destined for the NASCAR Hall of Fame as an inductee someday.

With 41 victories in the NASCAR Cup Series to go along with two championships, Notre Dame High School graduate and Portsmouth native Adam Stevens is the 14th-winningest crew chief of all-time and is one of just 18 crew chiefs all time to have won at least two or more championships in NASCAR’s flagship series, which has existed since 1948.

However, the Joe Gibbs Racing crew chief, who oversees Christopher Bell’s No. 20 Toyota Camry on Sundays, doesn’t often stop to reflect on his own success.

In fact, Stevens’ own success — let alone the potential possibility of a future Hall of Fame induction in Charlotte, N.C. — couldn’t be further from his mind.

“It’s really a privilege,” Stevens, a 24-year veteran in the sport and a crew chief for the last 15 years, said. “There are a lot of people that have spent their entire working lives in this sport, and they haven’t even been to victory lane. It’s not because of what they’re not capable of or the job that they’re doing but the team that they’re on, their surroundings and the situation that they’re in may not be capable. To be at Gibbs in my 22nd year is an extreme privilege. You can have the equipment and have the engines and have the setups and have a game plan, but if the guy holding the steering wheel can’t get the job done, then you’re not going to win.”

From the start, the racing bug was all around the Stevens family. Adam’s father, Greg Stevens, raced off-road dirt buggies well before and after Stevens’ birth.

When the younger Stevens was a toddler, the elder Stevens transitioned to dirt late model racing, and as Adam got older, he frequented his father’s construction business, Stevens’ Construction and PGS Rentals, and his father’s race shop to spend time with his father and gain a further grasp of the family business all in one fell swoop.

“I learned about the cars, what it meant to race, and worked my way up from there,” Stevens said.

Growing up, Stevens played football through his freshman year of high school. But as he initially pursued his own dreams of having a racing career, football ultimately demanded valuable time away from being at the race track on weekends, so Stevens ultimately dropped football for racing, and transitioned to playing golf, track and field, and participating on Notre Dame’s powerlifting squad at the time during the remainder of his high school days, as those sports and activities were more flexible toward his primary passion.

“They were all accommodating to my racing schedule, which got to be pretty heavily involved, particularly toward my senior year,” Stevens said. “A lot of my teachers kept up with it. Some of them would come to the track. It was great — a great way to grow up, and I really enjoyed my time at Notre Dame.”

Stevens went to Notre Dame all the way from kindergarten on up through his senior year of high school. Like many Notre Dame classes before his own, Stevens recalled there only being about “23 or 24” students in his graduating class, “17 or 18” of which he had classes with throughout his time in the Notre Dame system.

To this day, Stevens still considers that “mind-blowing.”

“That’s where I went, K-through-12,” Stevens said of Notre Dame. “My whole family did that. My parents actually went to Notre Dame when they were young. It was an awesome experience. It was great. It was a very tight-knit community.”

While attending Notre Dame, Stevens, who began his dirt late model racing career at 15 years of age, raced at tracks all over the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic Regions, going with his father and crew to Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and West Virginia.

“We went all over,” Stevens said. “If there was a race track that had features that fit our schedule, we would go.”

There was one problem.

Stevens knew he wasn’t going to make it in NASCAR as a driver.

“It was pretty clear being a race car driver just wasn’t going to be in the cards for me,” Stevens said. “I decided to pursue racing from another angle.”

Quite studious, Stevens turned his passion for construction and working on race cars into a mechanical engineering pathway at Ohio University. He came out of Ohio with several “real-world engineering opportunities,” as well as an offer to join the family business, in doing so.

But while nice offers, those opportunities weren’t where Stevens’ passion lied.

“I remember having a conversation very vividly with my Dad,” Stevens said. “I told him, ‘What I want to do is race, Dad. I don’t want to come back and join the family company. I want to skip over all of these other engineering opportunities and see if I can go make a living working on race cars.'”

Greg Stevens ultimately passed away in April 2009 as Stevens began firmly establishing his career in NASCAR. The elder Stevens, a Vietnam War veteran who restored historical and military vehicles and was a licensed private pilot, hunter and motorcycle enthusiast, was 60 years of age. He was also a former board member and president of the Notre Dame Elementary School Board, was a former board member and president of Catholic Social Services, and was a Knights of Columbus member as well.

“Dad was so involved in his racing that it was hard not to do it,” Stevens said. “I wanted to be involved and wanted to get better at it. I wanted to do it because I was hanging out with your Dad to help and learn, and I wanted to get better and develop my understanding and develop my skills because I was a competitor. From a young age, I was completely ate up with it. I knew, probably in high school, that I wanted to be in racing as long as I could, and if I could make a living at it, I would really enjoy that opportunity. I just didn’t know how to find that opportunity or where that opportunity would come from.”

Stevens, however, was motivated by not only the work ethic of his father, but the pathways that others had set in front of him.

Jake Emnett, a cousin of Stevens’ who is the founder and president of Emnett Construction today as he has been since 2008, was in NASCAR during the height of the sport’s boom. He graduated from the elder Stevens’ race shop, and, for two years, worked for Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates as a crewman. He was, according to Motorsport, the rear tire carrier for Jason Leffler’s No. 01 Cingular Wireless Dodge Intrepid during the 2001 Daytona 500.

Bill Henderson, who also worked under the Stevens family, also made it in NASCAR. He became a crew chief for Prism Motorsports in the NASCAR Cup Series and Viva Motorsports in what is now known as the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.

In Emnett and Henderson, Stevens had real-life examples in front of him, examples that showed that with hard work and intuition, he too, could make it.

“They both transitioned from our dirt racing and their careers into dirt racing and their general livelhoods outside of that to NASCAR,” Stevens said. “I thought, ‘Man, wouldn’t that be something if I could make that happen.'”

As Stevens was in the process of obtaining his mechanical engineering degree from Ohio, Stevens came down to the Charlotte area and stayed at Emnett’s residence.

In between nights sleeping on Emnett’s couch near Mooresville, Stevens printed off the shop list of all of the teams who had NASCAR race shops and garages across Mooresville and the nearby area, and banged on doors to see who would give him an opportunity.

Not long after Stevens graduated college in the Spring 2002 semester, Petty Enterprises, specifically Brandon Thomas, who was the crew chief of the team’s No. 43 Cheerios Dodge driven by John Andretti at the time, ultimately returned Stevens’ inquiry, and gave the Portsmouth native his first job in the sport as a design engineer.

Nearly a dozen trips of more than five hours, one way, had paid off with Thomas, now NASCAR’s Vice President of Vehicle Design.

Stevens had not only landed a job, he’d earned a job with the winningest team, historically, in the entire sport.

“It probably took Jake and Bill doing what they did to open my eyes and show me that (getting to NASCAR) was a possibility,” Stevens said.

Engineering was starting to get big in the sport. Stevens’ expertise in mechanical engineering was needed.

“Petty Enterprises was a little bit understaffed when I was there, and by understaffed, I believe there were three engineers when I started there, maybe four,” Stevens said. “One of my first jobs was to start going to the race track and help Brandon with fuel mileage and keeping up on things at the race track. We’d fly in with the pit crew and help do that. Then, at the shop, I was doing design work and was doing anything that I could. There wasn’t an engineering department, per se. There wasn’t 75 engineers on staff like most teams have in NASCAR now. There were three or four of us, and that was it. You’re doing a little bit of everything.”

Stevens ultimately rose to race engineer and became a weekly fixture in the Cup garage in that role throughout his final two years at Petty Enterprises.

Then Joe Gibbs Racing came calling.

Having expanded his operation to three teams in 2005 from two in the same year, Gibbs, who had already won the 2000 and 2002 NASCAR Cup Series Championships with Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart, respectively, was well on his way to developing a powerhouse around his Pro Football Hall of Fame coaching career.

A third car was only going to help JGR get closer to its goals as an organization.

They needed more people to run the operation.

When Dave Rogers was moved from Stewart’s No. 20 Home Depot operation, where he served as race engineer, to crew chief the newly-formed third team, the No. 11 FedEx Chevrolet that would eventually feature longtime fixture Denny Hamlin after original driver Jason Leffler was let go midseason, the spot of race engineer opened up on the No. 20.

Stevens was referred to Gibbs and Stewart’s crew chief, Greg Zipadelli, by both Thomas as well as longtime well-respected NASCAR figure Robin Pemberton.

Stevens didn’t want to leave the organization that had given him his shot to work in the highest form of motorsports there is.

But with an opportunity to work for a championship-winning race team right in front of his eyes, Stevens couldn’t turn down the opportunity.

Stevens arguably hadn’t realized it yet, but he had just hit the jackpot with a team that had, as Stevens said, “everything we needed, buy and large.”

“Through the contacts that I had made in racing and the people that I had worked with at Petty Enterprises, they had basically said, ‘Hey, this guy would be a great fit on the No. 20,'” Stevens said. “‘You guys should go after him.'”

In his first season with Joe Gibbs Racing, Stewart, with Stevens’ help as the No. 20 team’s race engineer, won his second NASCAR Cup Series Championship in 2005.

Stevens worked with Stewart through 2008, leading the NASCAR Hall of Famer to 14 wins from 2005 to 2008.

Then, after Stewart left to form his own race team with fellow partner and longtime car owner Gene Haas with the newly rebranded Stewart-Haas Racing following the end of that year, Joey Logano, who was long expected to be at the wheel of a Joe Gibbs Racing ride as the much-anticipated future of the sport took over as the team’s driver.

Stevens remained as the No. 20 team’s race engineer through the racing organization’s manufacturer switch from Chevrolets to Toyotas, which occurred prior to the start of the 2008 season, and for Logano’s first two seasons of NASCAR Cup Series racing in 2009 and 2010.

During that time, Stevens hit it off with Logano immediately.

“Joey and I formed a pretty strong relationship,” Stevens said.

Stevens’ continued engineering expertise and his tight bond with Logano helped land Stevens a new role for 2011 within the JGR organization, where he’d ultimately crew chief what was an all-star lineup of drivers from 2011 to 2014 in what was then the NASCAR Nationwide and now the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, the second-tier division to the NASCAR Cup Series.

Crew-chiefing Logano, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Truex and Drew Herring in 2011 across 31 races in the Nationwide Series, Stevens won two races, one each with Logano and Hamlin. But in 19 races, Logano led just 106 laps and sat on the pole just once. Stevens himself said he desired more from that season.

The 2012 season proved to be a major turning point in the careers of both Stevens and Logano.

Together again, this time for 21 races, Logano greatly upticked his win total from one win to nine, posted six poles compared to the one pole position he claimed in 2011, and vastly improved his laps led tally from 106 to 1,053.

“That was pretty remarkable,” Stevens said. “It was so exciting to come out of the gate, have speed, and everything feel like it operated in the way that it needed to operate. It did a lot for both of our careers.”

Logano ultimately got the opportunity that revived his Cup career following the 2012 season with Team Penske and has since gone on to win two Cup Series Championships as a driver.

Stevens, meanwhile, began to have eyeballs turn on him as a potential race-winning and championship-winning crew chief in the future.

“Him having that really strong year there helped him get the opportunity at Penske, where he still is,” Stevens said. “Personally, that was a huge year for me where I established myself as a race-winning, championship-competing crew chief in NASCAR.”

As fate would have it, the sport’s potentially fastest-rising crew chief mind would be paired with perhaps the sport’s most raw talent.

Just 27 years old, Kyle Busch was one of the very few guys who many around the NASCAR garage — along with Stewart and Jeff Gordon — felt could drive any form of car in auto racing.

However, Busch also had hothead tendencies, which often had the Las Vegas, Nev. native in trouble with the NASCAR police, particularly in 2011, where Busch, who intentionally wrecked Ron Hornaday, Jr. during a NASCAR Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway and then doubled down during postrace interviews regarding the move, was suspended for the remainder of the season for pulling the stunt under caution after Hornaday got loose and got into Busch unintentionally while battling for the lead around a lapped truck.

The incident nearly caused Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing to lose his primary sponsor, M&M’s, for good at the time.

Busch remained at Gibbs as did M&M’s for 2012 and the foreseeable future in the Cup, but after stepping out of Gibbs to run his own equipment in the Nationwide Series for 2012, Busch didn’t win a race.

So while Busch maintained his own Nationwide Series operation in 2013, he stepped back into Gibbs’ equipment in 2013 as a driver.

He wanted Stevens to be his crew chief.

“KB was coming back from his own one-year stint running his own equipment in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and he didn’t win a race, which wasn’t like the success he was used to having, so he was coming back to drive the Gibbs Xfinity cars, which shuffled the driver and crew chief pairings up. He wanted to work with me. That was the start of our time together.”

While hilarious NASCAR Radioactive playbacks on YouTube may tell a different story, Busch’s and Stevens’ time working together was, to put it simply, nearly flawless.

Together in the Nationwide Series in both 2013 and 2014, Busch and Stevens combined to win an incredible 19 times with 46 top-fives and 47 top-10s in 52 races during those two seasons, with Busch leading an incredible 3,778 laps and sitting on 17 poles during 2013 and 2014 combined as well.

Stevens said that from the time he and Busch began working together, they both were already on “Step 10” instead of Step 1.

“It was very evident that right when we started working together, our ways of communicating — how we thought race cars worked, and how we understand to make a strong team, prepare for a weekend, and to get things going your way when they’re not going your way — we were on the same page. It was just a mesh and a really good fit right from the start when we started working together. We had success very quickly. There was just a level of trust and belief in one another that started at a very, very high level. The thought, the preparation, the focus and the intensity was something that was hard to describe between KB and I,” Stevens said.

This set the stage for 2015.

For the second time since Stevens got to Joe Gibbs Racing, JGR was expanding its Cup operation.

For the second time, Stevens was going to replace Dave Rogers — but this time, as the crew chief to one of the most legendary race car drivers that all of auto racing had ever seen, as Rogers moved over to again crew chief a new team, this time with the well-liked Carl Edwards and the No. 19 Toyota.

And, for the second time, Stevens struck gold.

“Things weren’t quite going how he wanted them to on the Cup side,” Stevens said. “Joe Gibbs Racing was going to four teams, and that opened up some opportunities to shuffle some people around. Kyle said, ‘Hey, Adam’s ready, and I want him.'”

While the No. 18 team wasn’t new by number, ownership, sponsorship, driver, or paint scheme, the team itself was essentially new.

In addition to Stevens, a couple of guys were brought up from Stevens’ Nationwide Series team to Cup. He then hired over a half-dozen new guys to fill the team out and was heavily involved in the building out of a brand new trailer.

“There was just a tremendous amount of work to get that team up and running,” Stevens said. “That started early in the previous year. The run up to get to Daytona in February 2015 was probably seven months of hiring, building equipment and getting that whole team established.”

The hectic ways of the season, however, were only beginning.

On the day prior to the 2015 Daytona 500, Busch was racing in what was then called the NASCAR Xfinity Series, which had just replaced Nationwide as the second-tier division’s main sponsor. Busch got caught up in a major accident with less than 15 laps left in the 2015 Florida 300 and hit the inside SAFER barrier with such force that the wreck broke Busch’s right leg as well as his left foot.

He’d be sidelined for the first 11 races of the season. Stevens was starting his first year as a NASCAR Cup crew chief at a deficit.

“We had high hopes to get the ball rolling like we had left it on the Xfinity side,” Stevens said. “It just didn’t work out that way. When he had that wreck in Daytona on Saturday, I was in the garage, and when we saw the crash, we knew right away that he was hurt. We went over the hospital, met Coach, JGR and NASCAR executives. At that point, we knew he was okay in the grand scheme of life by that point in time, but we knew that he was hurt and was going to be out of the car. That set off a crazy string of events. That was a wild 24 hours for sure.”

An optimist, Stevens found positives in Busch’s absence from the race car.

With Busch watching from home on television, Stevens had another set of eyes to diagnose what the race car was doing. And Busch’s early absence due to injury also unintentionally gave Stevens and the crew members on the No. 18 Toyota Camry time to work out kinks in slightly lower pressure situations with replacement drivers Matt Crafton and Erik Jones not competing for championship points and David Ragan serving as a more calculated and measured head to Busch’s fiery ways.

“We were in constant communication and hanging out with KB,” Stevens said. “I’d go see him, and he’d always call me after practice, talking about what the car was doing. He’d tell me what he saw on TV. He was almost like another race engineer at the time. We got to communicate in a different manner than what we would or what we did as driver and crew chief. We found a way to get a benefit out of it. With it being a brand new team, there were some growing pains there. We got to have all of those growing pains without KB in the car. This allowed us to get those growing pains worked out and those relationships established when KB came back.”

Busch came back in time for the 2015 All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The points structure, at the time in place until the end of the 2025 season, was such that as long as Busch reached the top-30 in driver points and had a win, he would qualify for the 10-race playoffs at the end of the season, provided 16 other drivers didn’t win and finish ahead on regular season points, which wasn’t likely.

That proved to be not much of a problem. Busch and Stevens struck gold, winning their fifth race together at Sonoma in what Stevens referred to as “a big deal.” The pair then went on a torrid stretch where Busch and Stevens won three races in a row, including the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis.

Clearly a shoe-in to make the playoffs at this point with four regular season wins, Busch and Stevens turned up the dial during the playoffs, finishing worse than 11th just twice over the final 10 races of the year with six finishes of fifth or better, including the season-ending and championship-clinching run at Homestead where Busch led 41 laps en route to his fifth win of the season.

In Year 1 of the Busch and Stevens partnership, Stevens had led Busch to a NASCAR Cup Series Championship, something that highly-respected, well-liked and longtime crew chief such as Rogers, future NASCAR Cup Champion crew chief Alan Gustafson, Steve Addington and others failed to do.

Stevens not only did that but would proceed to win another title over a full year with Busch in 2019 while making the ‘Championship 4’ round each time from 2015 to 2019, a string of five consecutive seasons before the streak was snapped in 2020 when the duo finished eighth.

Together, the pair won 28 races, sat on 16 poles together and put the No. 18 out front for 7,189 laps — or an average of 1,437 laps per season.

Busch wouldn’t win as many races with any other crew chief during the remainder of his career.

“I haven’t put a lot of thought into that,” Stevens said of how he contributed to Busch’s success. “There’s a lot that goes into the meshing of how we all think and operate. On top of that, he (Busch) had some fire that was a little bit untamed, and it came out the wrong way on occasion. I believe we saw how much he grew up emotionally, particularly during the time he was injured and the time that Samantha (Busch’s wife) and Kyle had Brexton (Busch’s son). That increased his maturity and emotional IQ, maybe, and took him to a different level as a man and smoothed some rough edges, edges that other crew chiefs had to deal with that I just didn’t.”

Busch, who finished his career with 63 wins in the NASCAR Cup Series and will likely hold the sport’s all-time record of wins across the top three divisions in NASCAR for the remainder of the sport’s history, passed away on May 21 due to natural causes from bacterial pneumonia. He was 41.

“One of the guys,” Stevens said of what Busch was like. “People probably find this hard to believe, but he was just like anybody else, until he put his helmet or he was preparing to put his helmet on. Beyond that, he liked to hang out with the guys, cut up, get away from the race track and have us all on his boat or at his house for a cookout, which we’d do a few times a year. He’d come join us at the golf course. Man, we’d go bowling — about any silly thing you’d do with your buddies, he’s done. He was very genuine, very humble, and just enjoyed the guy-time stuff and family-time stuff. He was just one of the guys. It wasn’t forced or unnatural. It was who he was.”

Stevens still remembers the first time they officially met in regards to teaming up together when the pair were down in the second tier division

“I remember the first lunch we had before I became his Nationwide crew chief,” Stevens said. “I remember it like it was yesterday. We went to McAlister’s Deli. We met for lunch. He said, ‘Hey man, I want you to be my crew chief.’ We just talked about race cars and opportunities. He was known to be an intimidating figure at that time, and was probably still known to be quite fiery. I said, ‘Hey man, I’m all in. I want to be at Joe Gibbs Racing. But what we have to do here today is to both agree, when it’s not going well, that it’s me and you against the car. It’s never me against you. It’s you and me against the circumstances that we’re dealt, and we’re going to make the most of it.’ He agreed with that, and that’s how we did business.”

Since 2021, Stevens has been the crew chief for Norman, Okla. native Christopher Bell. Like Busch, Stevens has helped Bell in the latter’s own rise to championship contention.

In 2020, the year prior to Stevens taking over, Bell was 20th in NASCAR Cup Series points. Stevens moved Bell up eight spots in the standings and increased his laps led from 18 to 100 in Year 2 in 2021.

From 2022 to 2025, Bell finished in the top-five in points each season and won 12 races, with Championship 4 berths coming in both 2022 as well as 2023.

With seven Championship 4 berths as a crew chief between Bell and Busch prior to the change back to a 10-race Chase format instead of a round-by-round knockout format as had been in place since 2014, Stevens will likely hold the title as the crew chief with the most Championship 4 berths in the sport in its history.

Again, however, Stevens deflects that back to the skill of both Bell and Busch, noting that they are part of a driver tree that he’s worked with that not every crew chief has been blessed to have.

“It’s been great,” Stevens said. “It’s been completely and totally different in some regards, but they’re similar in a lot of regards. The similarities are the immense, god-given talent. It’s just not something that you can teach. We were all put on this Earth to do something, and those two (Busch and Bell) were put on this Earth to drive race cars. They are different personally and are different in how they express their frustrations and what motivates them and how to best communicate with them. I would say it’s a pretty stark difference, but everybody’s different — I think I just got one on different ends of the spectrum is all. I can’t say enough about the effort and the work that is required from the drivers to be successful these days. It’s only evolved and increased through the years and I believe it will only continue to evolve and increase. How much Bell wants to work and wants to win is something that he shares with KB. No matter how much I or any of the 500 additional people (at JGR) wanted to win, Kyle Busch and Christopher Bell want to win that much more.”

As Stevens himself has worked with the likes of Bell and the late legend that is Kyle Busch, he’s continued to answer to the same boss over top of the entire operation that he’s had since 2005 — Joe Gibbs, whom Stevens is quick to add is as much as a winner as anybody ever has been at anything, including, Stevens says, handball, which Stevens says Gibbs has won three national titles in.

“It’s been awesome,” Stevens said. ” You lose sight of the fact that he’s just a regular person. You regain sight of that when you’re with him, and somebody’s about to wet their pants when they see Coach Gibbs. I just say, ‘What do you mean? It’s just Coach. He comes to work every single day, has worked as hard as anybody that I’ve ever met in my life, and continues to. It’s impressive. Everything the guy has done, he has done it at the highest level, and succeeded, multiple times. You take it for granted, working for here as long as I have, that most people don’t have a boss like that. He’s a special guy. Just completely genuine. Not only does he want to win, he wants you to win, and not just in racing, but in life. He goes out of his way to provide opportunities for people like myself to make that happen. It’s such a pleasure to work for a guy like that, and an organization like he’s created here.”

The opportunities that Stevens has had to enjoy being a part of race-winning and championship-earning outfits, however, is one that he credits back to his upbringing and surroundings in his native home of Scioto County.

“Growing up with a strong, Catholic family like I came from, and the importance of family — all the gatherings with all the cousins, aunts and uncles, just everybody enjoying their time together — has been something that’s stuck with me as I’ve tried to put my teams together,” Stevens said. “In all the years that I spent working at the construction company — summers and weekends and holidays and breaks from school, from the time I was 10 or 11 until I graduated college, you’re just around so many different people with so many different skills, and everybody around you had something different that they could teach you. Those two things were unique experiences that I had that were likely different from other people. Being around so many different walks of life, especially working in construction, that had different upbringings but developed immense skills in different areas, was eye-opening. To learn how to communicate with them, work with them and enjoy their company is something that has paid dividends for me in racing. We all grew up in different areas and have different skills, and we all have to get the most out of each other. That’s a skill that I’ve developed at home, around my family and in construction, and it all happened in Portsmouth, Ohio.”
