Spencer Scott Davis (born November 29, 1998) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner, who currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 04 Ford F-150 for Roper Racing.
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]
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]
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]
In January 2021, Spencer Davis Motorsports announced Davis would run the full Truck season in the No. 11. [25] On March 20, it was announced that Davis acquired the owner's points of NEMCO Motorsports. [26] After failing to qualify at Daytona, they were not entered into the Daytona RC. The team still wants to run a majority of the schedule, in which they did with Bubba Wallace at Bristol Dirt, Camden Murphy for COTA and Clay Greenfield for 2 races.
During 2019, Davis dipped his toe into spotting, helping Niece Motorsports driver Kyle Benjamin in the Gander Outdoors Truck Series. [27]
Davis was homeschooled in order to maintain a flexible racing schedule. [28] Spencer Davis grew up in Dawsonville, Georgia, the son of Scott Davis and Cynthia Davis. His father, Scott Davis, runs a poultry equipment business in Dahlonega. [29]
