Kertus and the #01 RaceGirl team were back in action this weekend in Las Vegas for the Sam’s Town 300 Nationwide Series race. Coming off of a strong weekend in California cut short by mechanical issues, the team was looking to make up some ground and put the Johnny Davis Motorsports car into the top 30 in owners points.

Davis put a solid 30th place qualifying effort in place for the Saturday race and made a strong showing for most of the race, being up to 23rd place before mechanical gremlins had Kertus behind the wall before any more damage to the car could be done. “We were really excited to run that well and I think we could have easily had a top 20,” Davis said of the race. “We just had a mechanical issue that started acting up and decided to park the car rather than risk wrecking more equipment.”

Kertus and the team will be looking to rebound next weekend in Atlanta for the Nicorette 300. Fans can catch all the action on ESPN2 at 1:30 p.m. ET this Saturday.
