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.

With the beginning of the 2008 season starting in a matter of days, Kertus Davis will be adding his name to the list of drivers competing in the full 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule.  Davis already has gotten off to a quick start on the 2008 season putting his unsponsored #0 Monte Carlo 13th in overall standings last week in Daytona.  “We were really happy with how we showed at Daytona last week,” Kertus said, “and we want to keep our momentum up for qualifying next weekend.”

You can catch Davis and the #0 team in NASCAR Nationwide Series qualifying for the Camping World 300 presented by Chevrolet on February 15th at 3 PM EST on  ESPN2.

Kertus is also working on securing sponsorship for the 2008 season.  Many opportunities are available and those interested in knowing more about helping can contact info@kertusdavis.com.

Kertus Davis announced he will carry the A-T Children’s Project message on the #01 Chevy at Homestead. The A-T Children’s Project is a nonprofit organization that funds biomedical research, scientific conferences, and a clinical center for children with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), a rare genetic disease that has no cure. A-T causes the relentless loss of muscle control due to brain cell death; like four diseases in one, A-T combines symptoms of cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis and cancer. Children with A-T have vibrant minds trapped inside of deteriorating bodies.

A few weeks ago on a NASCAR Busch Series off weekend, Kertus took up the chance to drive DIRT Modified driver Jared Keeney’s DIRT Modified.  Kertus would like to thank all of the fans who came out, and to Keeney for allowing him the opportunity to do what he loves most- drive a racecar!
