Modspace and Andy Belmont Racing announced that they’ve signed Brandon Davis to race a second car for the team in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season opener. ARCA begins their 60th season with the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona International Speedway next Saturday.
"I'm extremely grateful to ModSpace and Andy Belmont Racing for the opportunity to drive at Daytona,” the new driver of the No. 2 ModSpace Ford Fusion says. "It's Daytona, so automatically you want to go out there and do well. But this is a whole new experience for me. I'm grasping this chance to make a positive name for myself and for everyone who's making this possible for me."
The 26-year-old from Huntington Beach, California has already impressed, winning champions in the World Challenge GT Series and won the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale last season. Davis won 11 races last season to win the championship and a shot in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West at Infineon Raceway.
"It's pretty clear, the kid has great credentials," Andy Belmont says. "We're bringing Brandon a really good piece to the track and with his knack for success in a race car, it should transfer over into the ARCA Racing Series with similar results. Daytona's a monster in its own, so while we have goals, we just want him to go out there and do the best job he can and hopefully that will result in a positive finish."
Andy Belmont Racing announced near the end of last year that Mikey Kile would drive the team’s primary entry, the No. 1 ModSpace Ford Fusion, for the complete 2012 schedule.
"We are excited to have two cars with two great drivers paired up for this race," William Mann, vice president of business development for ModSpace, says. "Having a drafting partner is crucial on this track. Andy Belmont has put a lot of effort into fielding great cars and developing great drivers. We are excited to see both of these drivers represent ModSpace on this historic track."
"ModSpace has been a great ambassador and sponsor to the motorsports industry,” Belmont adds. “We're extremely thankful to have had their support the last two years and we're hoping to build on a strong 2011 season into championship contenders this season with our full-time driver Mikey Kile. With Brandon now behind the wheel of our No. 2 Ford Fusion, our chances of getting ModSpace to Victory Lane again increase even more."
