Stevenson Motorsports Announces New Stevenson Performance Shop

Apr 4, 2009

Jacksonville, North Carolina is now home to the new Stevenson Performance shop. Stevenson
Performance can meet the needs of anyone looking for high performance parts and accessories
for their street or race car, and their highly skilled and experienced staff can provide the kind of
custom installations and customer support that will insure their complete satisfaction.
Stevenson Performance is a division of Stevenson Motorsports, a professional sports car racing
team. Stevenson competes in the NASCAR-owned Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series,
where they campaign a Pontiac GXP.R in the GT class. In 2008 they won several races and
finished less than 10 points out of first place in the overall season championship in what is
arguably the most competitive professional road racing series in North America.
Stevenson Motorsports Announces New Stevenson Performance ShopThat level of performance could only have been achieved through a combination of talent,
experience and professional commitment, and now, that same level of professional performance
and racing experience is being made available to everyone through the opening of the brand new
Stevenson Performance shop, located in Jacksonville.
The Stevenson Automotive Group- with 16 new car dealerships located across North Carolina –
has created a 600 square foot showroom stocked with all the performance enhancements any
avid car buff could want. Anyone who loves their car is invited to stop by and meet General
Manager Donnie Marshburn and his team of professional installers.
The Stevenson Performance Team can provide a wide variety of services including truck and
jeep lift installations and street and race performance modifications. They are also experts in
installing high-performance stereo units, DVD players and GPS navigation units.
Marshburn: “We provide a wide range of services to our customers including a vast inventory of
wheels and tires and we have access to an enormous range of performance and customized
parts for almost every make and model of car. We are currently working on an on-line ordering
system but we can get almost any part for almost any car right now. If someone were to come
into the shop and order a part we do have drop-ship capability so the parts can be delivered right
to their door.
“We can sell and install all types of performance and custom styling parts and accessories here in
the shop. Our installers include members of the race team who maintain our Pontiac race car.
We can install grill inserts, superchargers and just about anything someone might want to
improve the looks or the performance of their street cars.”
Customers of Stevenson Performance can count on having a positive experience whether they
have the shop install new parts or choose to do it themselves.
Marshburn: “Anyone is welcome to come in and buy a part over the counter and install it
themselves. If they encounter any issues during the install we are here to answer their questions
and help them through the process. One of us in the shop has probably run into the same issues
before and we are more than happy to lend a hand to help the customer finish the job.”
Parts manager Scott Zimmerman is on hand and ready to help automotive enthusiasts of every
kind find the right parts to dress up their cars or help with the selection of the right lubricants to
keep their cars in top condition. The shop carries a full line of ignition components, brake and
safety components, driving suits, high performance spark plug wire sets, valve covers, NGK
plugs, Royal Purple lubricants and more.
New parts are received in the shop every week. Any high performance part anyone could want is
either in the shop now or readily available. The variety of performance parts available exceeds
what can be found at any shop in the area. In addition, the Stevenson Performance shop is
staffed by professionals who know what it takes to improve the looks and performance of almost
any car.
Marshburn: “We have people on the team here who are extremely experienced in pretty much
any aspect of automotive performance. Michael Hoffman, for example, is our race team Crew
Chief and he is extremely knowledgeable about the more exotic end of the automotive spectrum.
Chris Vallely is very familiar with the world of street tuners. I have years of experience building
chassis for drag racers and street rods and Scott Zimmerman, our parts manager, is also well
versed in the language of street rods and oval track racing. We pretty much have all the bases
covered plus we back up our experience with our ongoing championship race team efforts.”
The shop is located at 127 Garnet Lane, Jacksonville, NC 28546. It shares space in the same
building that houses the Stevenson Motorsports racing operations. When you come to the
Stevenson Performance Shop you always receive the benefit of all the knowledge and
experience of the professional race team.
Everyone is invited to stop by and say hello to Donnie and Scott and the rest of the Stevenson
Performance team. When you want the best for your car, come to the pros at Stevenson
Performance!
