In 2018, Stevens attempted to make his debut in the ARCA Racing Series at the Illinois State Fairgrounds dirt track, driving the No. 06 Dodge for Wayne Peterson Racing, where he was forced to withdraw after blowing an engine during the lone practice session.[1] He returned with the team to the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds dirt track, this time driving a Ford, where after starting 21st and last, he went on to finish fourteenth due to transmission issues. For the following year, Stevens was originally scheduled to drive at Springfield for the team, this time driving the No. 0 Ford, but was replaced by team-owner Wayne Peterson.[2]

In 2022, Stevens returned to the series at Springfield, this time driving the No. 44 Ford for Ferrier McClure Racing.[3][4] After placing thirteenth in the lone practice session,[5] Stevens officially started nineteenth due to qualifying being rained out, and went on to finish seventeenth due to overheating issues.[6][7] He returned with the team at DuQuoin,[8] where after starting eighteenth due to practice and qualifying being cancelled due to rain,[9] he went on to finish in twentieth due to suffering a crash on the fourth lap of the race.

Stevens has also competed in series such as the Pro Fabrication Mid-East 604 Late Modelsand, the Renegades of Dirt Modified Tour, the Mid-East Modified Tour, the Southeast Dirt Modified Series, and the American Racer Modifieds.[10]
