BOB-CAT Racing – Race Dates, Raceway Information

BOB-CAT will make its NASCAR debut on the Davis No. 18 Toyota Camry on May 31st at South Boston Speedway in the Camping World Series East division. Our BOB-CAT logo will grace the Marc Davis’ No. 18 Toyota Camry in nine upcoming NASCAR Season Races starting late this spring - launching BOB-CAT Racing™ onto the NASCAR Circuit!

About Driver Marc Davis:
Davis, an African-American who has ascended from racing Late Model stock cars at Carolina bullrings to campaigning full-fledged stock cars in the regional Camping World Series East and West divisions, has made the most of his opportunity with Joe Gibbs Racing’s driver development program. Davis won his first race on March 25, 2006 and became just the second African-American to win a stock car race at Hickory, joining former Joe Gibbs Racing development driver Chris Bristol. Davis used his success at Hickory to move into the Camping World Series East division, the regional NASCAR touring series that features a 13-race schedule at tracks predominantly based in New England and the Mid-Atlantic. With backing from Joe Gibbs Racing, Davis scored five top-five and seven top-10 finishes in 2007, including a season-best runner-up effort on April 19th to Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Joey Logano in the West Series race at Phoenix International Raceway.

“I’m doing exactly what I’ve always wanted to do,” said Davis, who continues his quest toward a full-time drive in NASCAR’s pinnacle division – the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.  “Everything I’ve done in life has been about racing, and to have this kind of opportunity means everything.  I sincerely appreciate the support that BOB-CAT is giving to me and Joe Gibbs Racing.”
