Spencer S. Davis (born November 29, 1998) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, driving the No. 11 Toyota Tundra for Spencer Davis Motorsports.

Racing career

Early years

Davis began to race in the go-kart ranks when he was six years old. From there, he progressed into late model cars and trucks.[1] He won many championships around the Southeast United States.[2] In 2014, aged 15, Davis ran the full NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour schedule with backing from Coors Light.[3] He ran a partial schedule in both the Southern Modified Tour and the main NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour in 2015 while also driving a partial NASCAR K&N Pro Series West schedule.[4][5][6]

Developmental series

After finding limited success in modifieds, Davis transitioned to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2015, driving for NTS Motorsports.[7] After a restricted schedule that year,[8] he found a ride with Ranier Racing with MDM for the 2016 season.[9] Davis found victory lane for the first time at Dominion Raceway in May of that year.[10] The deal with Ranier eventually collapsed, and Davis spent the remainder of the year driving for his family team, Jefferson Pitts Racing and Hattori Racing Enterprises.[11] He was also named to the 2016–2017 NASCAR Next class.[12]

On February 11, 2017, Davis signed with Venturini Motorsports to run seven ARCA Racing Series events in 2017 after testing with the team at Daytona International Speedway.[13] His first race was at Talladega Superspeedway.[14] After scoring a top-five in his first race, Davis found the top ten in three of his other six starts.[15] He also ran premier late model events.[16]

Balancing a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule in 2018, Davis wound up running a partial schedule in the K&N East for Danny Watts Racing, which operated in conjunction with Rette Jones Racing.[17] Expanding on that, Davis and RJR announced a full K&N East slate for 2019.[18] At World Wide Technology Raceway in August, Davis earned his first win with RJR and first in three-plus years, passing Sam Mayer on a late green-white-checkered restart.[19]

NASCAR

On January 23, 2018, it was announced that Davis would compete for Kyle Busch Motorsports, splitting time between the team's Nos. 4 and 51 entries. as part of the announcement, he was named as the driver of the No. 51 in four races and the No. 4 for a race, including the first three races of the season between the Nos. 51 and the 4.[20][21][22] In his first race at Daytona International Speedway, Davis posted a seventh-place finish.[10]

In 2019, Davis ran a limited slate with K&N team Rette Jones Racing but also joined Niece Motorsports for the summer race at Chicagoland Speedway in the Truck Series.[23]

For 2020, Davis started his own team, Spencer Davis Motorsports. The team competed in most of the races during the first half of the 2020 NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series season, fielding the No. 11 Toyota with Davis behind the wheel. On August 6, Davis revealed that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and would miss the Henry Ford Health System 200, scheduled for the following day.[24]

Spotting

During 2019, Davis dipped his toe into spotting, helping Kyle Benjamin in the Gander Outdoors Truck Series.[25]

Personal life

Davis was homeschooled in order to maintain a flexible racing schedule.[26]
