After many years of taking occasional rides when and where he could find them, Davis landed the opportunity to run long term with Jim Tafel and Tony Dowe at Tafel Racing. But, when that team pulled out of Grand-Am in favor of running in the American Le Mans Series, Davis found he was back to job hunting once again. But then his phone rang and Mike Johnson asked him to join the Stevenson Team for this season.
