The Coca-Cola 200 presented by Hy-Vee may be the first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series appearance at Iowa Speedway for David Mayhew, but this talented driver is no stranger to the seven-eighths-mile tri-oval. Mayhew has made six starts at ‘America’s Place to Race’ in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West division. The Californina native has collected one pole, three wins, four top-five and five top-10 finishes at the track. He holds an average start of 3.2 and average finish of 6, and has also led a lotal 210 laps at the track. Mayhew will pilot the No. 2 MMI Serivce Chevrolet Silverado at Iowa Speedway, his second Truck Series appearance of the 2011 season with Kevin Harvick Inc. KHI co-owner Kevin Harvick chose his fellow Bakersfield, Calif., native initially to practice his NASCAR Nationwide Series cars in Iowa (2010) and Chicago (2011). Mayhew has also tested cars for the KHI stable during the off-season. Harvick was quickly impressed by Mayhew’s ability and knowledge, which has led to the driver being invited to pilot the No. 2 KHI Truck Series entry for two races during the 2011 racing season.(Kevin Harvick Inc.
