Donnie Levister (born April 19, 1976) is an American professionalstock car racing driver.
Levister began his racing career on dirt tracks[1] near his hometown ofWinnsboro, South Carolina.[2]
Partnering withFaith Motorsports to try and make his firstNASCAR race, Levister announced that he wanted to attempt at least 15 races of the2016 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule.[3] In his first attempt, he was forced to withdraw atMartinsville Speedway and the team scaled back its schedule, later Faith Motorsports partner withMike Harmon Racing and his No. 74 truck to be higher in owner points, but Levister failed to qualify in the same way atIowa Speedway.[4][5][6] The season did not get any better from there on out as two more withdrawals and failing to qualify for a race[7] left Levister in search of his first series start at the end of 2016.
Levister found a ride for the 2017Alpha Energy Solutions 250 at Martinsville withCopp Motorsports, a team new to the Truck series in 2017. Driving their No. 83Chevrolet Silverado, Levister qualified 30th[8] before falling out with brake problems after 100 laps,[9] leading to a 30th-place finish.[10] Meanwhile, after the Martinsville race Faith Motorsports purchased the No. 44 entry ofMartins Motorsports and the team has hinted that Levister will drive the truck in future races; however Levister was ineligible to race in tracks with a length of more than 1.3 mile untilGateway, soMatt Mills replaced him atKansas andCharlotte.
