Marc Davis to attempt some early NNS races, Cup later:
January 9, 2009 at 12:00 AM
Here they come already: the Davises. Driver Marc, 18, and his father, Harry, are doing it the old-fashioned way. They’re fielding a family-owned, barely sponsored, one-car team, fighting the odds and the big money. Marc and Harry Davis hope to open some sponsorship wallets with a part-time, family-owned venture in 2009. Marc Davis will try to qualify for six Nationwide races in a row, beginning just after Daytona, this winter. He’ll run two Toyotas his father has acquired. Then later this year they plan to enter a handful of Cup races. They’re still friends with Joe Gibbs Racing, where Marc has been a developmental driver and maintains a relationship, and with Randy Moss Motorsports and Roush Racing — all of whom tried to find major sponsorships to run Marc regularly in Nationwide or Trucks this season, but failed. But no more waiting. The Davises will do it themselves.(ESPN.com)(1-9-2009)
