Spencer Davis clarified his team’s plan for Daytona and can now successfully follow it through after being cleared by NASCAR to return to competition.
“Pending the second mandated test to get cleared yes. So far recovery has went well and first test is complete. We’re running fluidly even with missing a race,” Davis explained on Monday in a social media post. Two days later, he has been medically cleared to race this week on the Daytona road course.
“The process works,” Davis Tweeted Wednesday after getting cleared to return to Truck competition. “Gotta thank the medical team at NASCAR for the guidance along the way in taking the proper steps during my quarantine.”

Test 1 of 2 complete to be medically cleared. Pending the second test I should be fine. @TeamSDM11 guys have been getting the trucks ready for the next couple of races. So they’re waiting on me🦾. Daytona is the scheduled return though.

Pending the second mandated test to get cleared yes. So far recovery has went well and first test is complete. And exactly what it is, just a rumor. Luckily our operation says otherwise. We’re running fluidly even with missing a race

Original post: Truck Series driver Spencer Davis has tested positive for COVID19. The team has withdrawn from competition for Friday’s race at Michigan International Speedway.
“This week I had to go take tests and one positive test result is keeping us from racing Michigan. I support the protocols in place by the CDC and NASCAR, and plan on taking the correct steps to come back to the track,” Davis said on Twitter.
Unfortunately i will be missing @MISpeedway, but looking forward to getting over this and back on track. Thanks to everyone who has reached out. pic.twitter.com/cSUeIgWmQT
