Jeff Davis (racing driver)

Jeff Davis (born January 29, 1959) is an American entrepreneur and former professional stock car racing driver.

He finished tenth in points after taking the checkered flag in every race except for the season openers at Long Beach & Phoenix that he'd missed by starting after they'd already been run.

[1] Although all Indy Lights drivers drove spec Buicks, Davis had little financial support, receiving it from "people who were stretching their budgets just to be there.

"[1][3] Davis could never get the Indy Lights car to handle since it had a really loose, worn-out tub and suspension tuning failed to make much difference.

[1] In 1992, Davis made his NASCAR Winston West Series debut at El Cajon Speedway, finishing ninth.

[10] In August, he and 13 other West drivers attempted to qualify for the Cup Series' inaugural Brickyard 400, a race that saw a NASCAR-record 86-driver entry list.

[18][19][20] After the 1997 and 1998 Cup seasons, Davis entered the series' exhibition races in Japan at Suzuka Circuit and Twin Ring Motegi, respectively.

[21][22] Motegi's Coca-Cola 500 featured ten entrants from the West Series including Davis,[23] who also fielded a car for Japanese driver Hideo Fukuyama.

Van-K Wheels is the leading manufacturer in the USA for the racing kart industry and sells thru Dealers & Distributors and to chassis building companies.
