ON THE TRACK
Considering Davey had a 3 year hiatus on racing, he’s proven to still be a top contender in every race he enters. Growing up in a racing family and being a 3rd generation driver it’s no surprise he started racing at just 4 years old.​
Consistently competing for wins and championships, although his racing came to a pause, the finish line is still yet to come. Davey has already continued to win races and awards on his path to the Indianapolis 500.
