NASCAR Driver Kertus Davis Ready for Third Daytona Start
''New Cars, New Shop, New Team Owner and Excellent Test Results
Set Stage''
PHOENIX--(Business Wire)--
NASCAR Nationwide series driver Kertus Davis is optimistic about
Saturday's first race of the 2008 season. "We're putting a brand new
Chevrolet Monte Carlo '0' car on the track that has performed
exceptionally well for me during testing," comments Davis. The team
will also field a Chevrolet car '01', to be driven by Dwayne Leik.
Davis' car will showcase sponsors Race Girl and Americano Beach
Resort.
JD Motorsports team owner Lori Morgan has been instrumental in
acquiring equipment including two new chassis, a car hauler and a new
shop. Morgan notes, "Davis had impressive runs and fast laps during
testing at Daytona recently and we're excited to put him in a car that
allows him to maximize his driving skills." Davis recently returned
from Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in Arizona where he
has been honing his road racing and driving skills.
Davis and the JD Motorsports team have been working with one of
the highest government offices in the nation along with Military Order
of the Purple Heart to identify men and women around the country who
will be honored by team JD Motorsports at each race during the 2008
Nationwide series. Saturday, Davis will honor Stephen Pyle.
He will be named an honorary crew member for the day. "Kertus is
just as excited about honoring Stephen as he is about racing Daytona.
It thrills him to say thank you to those who deserve it and he loves
to share the thunder and excitement of what he does all year long with
people who have never experienced NASCAR from the inside," said Johnny
Davis, team General Manager and father of Kertus.
