Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this an old article? Seems like I remember seeing it last fall and since then Levi has been running just a few selected events.

A true gentleman. It was my pleasure to have him drive me on several occasions. One of the finest families in racing. Best of luck in the future!

Did he "retire" or "get out of the sport"? Just curious. :)

I am happy for Levi and his family but also Sad to see the ride end. Spent many a night and day with the Jones. Memories that will last forever. Levi mom told me one night that weather I like it or not I am part of the Jones family and I am very proud of that. Levi mother gave me my nick name (Eldora Mark) and it has stuck with me since. Levi, I hope the rest of your life is fulfilled with as much passion that you gave us fans.

What does that mean?

I am not a mind reader but I can say I felt it was close. A loss for us but a huge win for his beatiful family. Levi is one heck of a dad and one of the best friends a guy could have, there will always be a bag of cookies at the trailer for you anytime you want them.

Best of luck my friend.

It was a reference to a post someone else made.

Not a surprise really. After seeing him win the Hoosier 100, I got a sense that he had accomplished much of what he had set out to in life, at at least was at peace with his career.

As he should be. Numerous sprint car titles, two dirt car titles and his name in the record books as a Hoosier 100 winner.

Rural King is the family business, if you've never been in one you're missing quite the store and Rural King continues to grow and expand, even in questionable economic times.

I wondered how long it would be before he had to make the choice between business and family, and the sport. Levi will be greatly missed by fans, promoters and his fellow racers.

Keep the free popcorn going, Levi.

Now we gotta get Rural King on the side of a car:D

I'm wondering when you'll be able to buy a riding lawnmower with a 410 in it.:3:

I just want to thank Levi for sharing his talent with us. He was great behind the wheel and a true ambassador for the sport.
He really had nothing left to prove , and left on his own terms. Great way to finish his career. I will miss him and the family at the track though. They truly are some of the nicest people I know.

Thanks Levi. You were fun to watch.

I've always liked Levi and will miss not being able to watch him race anymore. Best wishes to he, his family, and his business.

Damn, this is reall personal loss. Im really gonna miss him, his dad and the rest of his team & family when I get to a USAC show or other race that he would have raced. Time marches on and with it change.

He did seem to have a "love/hate" relationship with the fans. Quite a few in the crowd booed him and quite a few cheered for him. Count me as part of the cheer crowd. When we first moved to the area there were three young on the gas drivers from right around our area: Levi from Olney, Matt Neeley from Robinson, and Jonathan Vennard from Vincennes. We became fans of all three and enjoyed watching them.
