Kertus and the RaceGirl team went into Talladega with a simple gameplan:  keep out of trouble, dodge “The Big One” and put themselves in a position to fight for the best finish of the season.  After running as high as 10th, they accomplished their mission finishing 12th- Kertus’ highest of the season.

“I’m just really proud of the entire team,” Kertus said, “We worked hard and even though we lost the lead pack draft, we still came out with a great finish!”  He continued, “It was also really great to perform well with my friends and family here to watch.”

The #01 team’s finish also propelled them into the top 30 in NASCAR Nationwide Series points, which means that the pressure of qualifying for races is no more- as they are now locked into the show.

The NASCAR Nationwide Series headed south of the border to Mexico City for the Corona Mexico 200 presented by Banamex at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Kertus Davis and the #01 crew were back in action for the first road course race of the year, looking to ride the momentum of the last few weeks. Starting 33rd, the team took a quick exit when on lap 1 an oil line broke sending Kertus into the wall at well over 140 miles per hour.

“That had to be the hardest hit I ever took,” Kertus said. “We’ll be ok, but I’m planning on taking a couple of days off this week to get ready for Talladega. That’s one of my favorite tracks and we’re really looking forward to a good finish there.”

Keep up with the RaceGirl team on Saturday at 2:30 EST on ABC when Kertus and the rest of the Nationwide Series take the green.

Rain and thunderstorms proved to be Kertus Davis’s friend this weekend as the wet weather brought the Sharpie-Mini 300 at Bristol to an early finish. Starting 35th because of owners points, Davis and the team were able to work their way to a season-best 23rd place finishing position.  In addition, the #01 car was also awarded the Featherlite Most Improved Driver of the Race for improving his starting position at the finish by 12 spots.

The Pepsi 300 at Nashville Superspeedway will be up next for the RaceGirl team, where they hope to carry the momentum from Bristol. The race will be broadcast live on ABC at 2 pm EST.

Kertus and the #01 RaceGirl team were back in action this weekend in Las Vegas for the Sam’s Town 300 Nationwide Series race. Coming off of a strong weekend in California cut short by mechanical issues, the team was looking to make up some ground and put the Johnny Davis Motorsports car into the top 30 in owners points.

Davis put a solid 30th place qualifying effort in place for the Saturday race and made a strong showing for most of the race, being up to 23rd place before mechanical gremlins had Kertus behind the wall before any more damage to the car could be done. “We were really excited to run that well and I think we could have easily had a top 20,” Davis said of the race. “We just had a mechanical issue that started acting up and decided to park the car rather than risk wrecking more equipment.”

Kertus and the team will be looking to rebound next weekend in Atlanta for the Nicorette 300. Fans can catch all the action on ESPN2 at 1:30 p.m. ET this Saturday.

With the beginning of the 2008 season starting in a matter of days, Kertus Davis will be adding his name to the list of drivers competing in the full 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule.  Davis already has gotten off to a quick start on the 2008 season putting his unsponsored #0 Monte Carlo 13th in overall standings last week in Daytona.  “We were really happy with how we showed at Daytona last week,” Kertus said, “and we want to keep our momentum up for qualifying next weekend.”

You can catch Davis and the #0 team in NASCAR Nationwide Series qualifying for the Camping World 300 presented by Chevrolet on February 15th at 3 PM EST on  ESPN2.

Kertus is also working on securing sponsorship for the 2008 season.  Many opportunities are available and those interested in knowing more about helping can contact info@kertusdavis.com.

Kertus Davis announced he will carry the A-T Children’s Project message on the #01 Chevy at Homestead. The A-T Children’s Project is a nonprofit organization that funds biomedical research, scientific conferences, and a clinical center for children with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), a rare genetic disease that has no cure. A-T causes the relentless loss of muscle control due to brain cell death; like four diseases in one, A-T combines symptoms of cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis and cancer. Children with A-T have vibrant minds trapped inside of deteriorating bodies.

Kertus Davis be back in action this weekend at Lowes Motor Speedway in the #01 RaceGirl  Chevrolet for the Dollar General 300.  You can catch qualifying on ESPN2 at 4 p.m. EST today.  Tune in and cheer Kertus on!

A few weeks ago on a NASCAR Busch Series off weekend, Kertus took up the chance to drive DIRT Modified driver Jared Keeney’s DIRT Modified.  Kertus would like to thank all of the fans who came out, and to Keeney for allowing him the opportunity to do what he loves most- drive a racecar!

Kertus Davis teamed up with longtime sponsor RaceGirl this weekend for the Camping World 300 Presented By RVs.com at California Speedway this weekend in the #01 Monte Carlo.

Kertus was able to qualify the RaceGirl Chevy 38th, and made a charge to the front of the field until handling problems forced him to a 33rd place finish.

Kertus Davis has been released from his contract with Kevin Harvick Inc. and is free to pursue other rides, Davis confirmed Friday at Gateway International Raceway. Davis was splitting time in KHI’s No. 77 Chevrolet this season but was removed from the car for the race at Milwaukee last month and for this weekend’s Gateway 250.

“I’m out shaking the trees, seeing what might come up,” Davis said. “Who knows? Next week’s Indy. Some of those [Nextel Cup] guys are going back and forth [between Indianapolis Motor Speedway and O'Reilly Raceway Park], so maybe I can help someone out.”

Davis said he was thankful for the opportunity at KHI and refused to blame anyone in particular for his struggles. “It just wasn’t the right situation for me or the right situation for Kevin and DeLana Harvick,” Davis said. “They are unique people, a first-class operation and a great, great sponsor in Dollar General. Everything just didn’t work out.” Davis said there were “no hard feelings on my behalf.”

Davis said he has moved back to South Carolina and has started working with his father’s team again, DDL Motorsports. There are no plans, however, for Kertus to drive a car for his dad, Johnny.
