Adam Stevens (NASCAR)
Adam Gregory Stevens (born July 22, 1978) is a NASCAR Cup Series crew chief for Christopher Bell at Joe Gibbs Racing, driving the No. 20 car. He helped Kyle Busch win Cup championships in 2015 and 2019 and won the 2024 Coca-Cola 600 with Bell.
Stevens grew up in Portsmouth, Ohio, inspired by his father Greg Stevens, who raced dune buggies and dirt cars. He raced dirt tracks in Ohio and entered the Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora in 1999. He earned a mechanical engineering degree from Ohio University in 2002. After college he moved to Charlotte to pursue NASCAR, landing his first NASCAR job with Petty Enterprises as a designer.
He joined Joe Gibbs Racing in 2005 as a race engineer for Tony Stewart and crew chief Greg Zipadelli. He worked with Stewart/Zipadelli through 2008, then with Joey Logano as team engineer. In 2011 he became crew chief for JGR’s No. 20 Xfinity team with Logano, winning nine races in 2012. In 2013 he partnered with Kyle Busch in the Cup Series, delivering many wins. He won the Cup championship in 2015 and helped Busch win the Regular Season Championship in 2018 and 2019, plus the 2019 Cup title. After 2020 Stevens moved to the Cup Series No. 20 with Christopher Bell.
In 2024 Bell and Stevens won races at Phoenix, Charlotte and New Hampshire. During the Olympics break he suffered a double knee injury and had surgery; car chief Chris Sherwood filled in at the track. The 2025 season began with three straight wins for Bell/Stevens at Atlanta, COTA and Phoenix—the first time that has happened in the Next Gen era. Stevens lives near Charlotte with his wife Aubrey and their sons Carter and Ryan, and he has four sisters.
