west coast. In 1947, he suffered severe burns as a result of a crash. Levrett participated in the
1949 AAA Championship Car season, with his best finish being in fourth at
Milwaukee. He took part in the
1949 and
1950 Indianapolis 500, but ended up retiring from both races. The crash caused Levrett to retire from racing. Levrett opened a transmission shop in 1955, which is now ran by his family. He was inducted into the
National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2007. ==Indianapolis 500 results==
