Check out Kertus making his qualifying attempt.

Kertus Davis and the Johnson City Days Inn are teaming up this weekend for the Scotts Turf Builder 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway.  The Days Inn is Kertus’s preferred choice of hotels for their excellent hospitality and comfort.  For more information on the Johnson City Days Inn, call 423-282-2211 or stop by at 2312 Browns Mill Rd in Johnson City, TN.

Kertus and the #49 GetMoreVacations.com team kicked off the 2009 season this weekend looking to capitalize on a fresh start at Daytona International Speedway for the NASCAR Nationwide Series opener.  Davis and the team came out of the box strong, posting a 26th place qualifying effort out of 50 entrants, easily locking the team in the field for Saturday’s race.  However, debris would end a potential top-20 finish for the team.

“We felt like we had a decent run going, keeping the car around the top 20,” he said.  “but during one of our runs, some debris knocked off our oil line and put us behind the wall for a few laps.”

The team was able to make the repairs and send the #49 GetMoreVacations.com Chevy back out, ending the race with a 38th place finish.

The #49 team will be back in action next weekend for the Stater Bros. 300 from Auto Club Speedway.  Tune in Saturday to ESPN2 or MRN Radio at 7 p.m. EST to cheer Kertus and the team on!
