EspañolD.D.L. MOTORSPORTS
(Redirected from Davis Motorsports)
'D.D.L Motorsports' (formerly 'Duesenberg & Leik Motorsports') is a Busch Series team. It is owned and operated by Johnny Davis, Indy Racing League owner Keith Duesenberg and race car driver Dwayne Leik. The team was announced in the beginning of the 2007, and fields the #0 Chevrolet for Eric McClure in the NASCAR Busch Series full-time.
The 0 car made its debut in 2002, fielding an entry for Davis' son Kertus. In his first race, he started 31st but finished 32nd after a wreck. He ran three more races that season and had a best finish of twenty-fourth at Memphis Motorports Park after gaining sponsorship from Broadway Motors. In 2003, Eagle Jet International became the team's new sponsor, and Morgan Shepherd was hired as the team's driver for most of its races. His best finish came at Talladega Superspeedway, where he finished 11th, when J.R. Robbs took over for three races with a best finish of 27th. Jason White then became the team's regular driver, and Davis created the #70 team for Shepherd to drive, before he left to drive for Dwayne Miller. White drove for most of the season and had two top-twenty finishes in the 0 car, before Gus Wasson finished out the year in the car, finishing 29th at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
In 2004, the 0 switched to the #10 and the #70 the #0, and Jason Schuler began the year with the team with Operation Fire SAFE as sponsor. After six races and a best finish of 27th, he was replaced by Wasson with Race Girl sponsorship. He ran for most of the season in the ten car, replaced once by Tina Gordon. His best finish that season came at Nashville Superspeedway, where he finished 22nd. Jimmy Kitchens drove the 0 car for the first four races of the season, but did not finish a race. Greg Sacks and Blake Mallory attempted a few races in the car, but did not qualify. Mike Potter drove the car for two races before Kertus Davis came back to drive three times late in the season. The following season, Davis began driving the 0 full-time with Race Girl sponsoring and folded the other team. He competed in twenty-eight races with a top-ten at Talladega in his rookie season, with Rafael Martínez and Joe Fox serving as relief drivers on road courses. The team began racing 2006 under rumors that they would close due to sponsorship issues, but remained open. Davis only qualified for twenty-two races in that year, sharing the ride with Randy LaJoie and Morgan Shepherd. They also opened a second team, the #05, for a limited schedule to fill out short Busch Series fields. Teague and Shepherd drove that car.
When Kertus Davis left for Kevin Harvick Incorporated in 2007, he was replaced by Eric McClure and Hefty sponsorship. J. R. Fitzpatrick will drive on road courses. Kevin Lepage drove at Watkins Glen.
The #01 debuted in 2006 as 'Duesenberg & Leik Motorsports', with Jay Sauter driving the Western Union car. In the team's first season, the #01 team started 33 out of 35 races, with a best finish of seventh at O'Reilly Raceway Park. Dwayne Leik also made one start, at the Winn-Dixie 250 in the #26. He started 38th and finished 32nd.
For the 2007 season, Duesenberg & Leik have joined forces with Johnny Davis's operation to form D.D.L. Motorsports. The owner's points from the 2006 season for the 01 were transferred to the 0 car. Morgan Shepherd has driven the 01 on a limited basis this season. Kevin Lepage, Shelby Howard and Danny Efland have also driven this year after Shephard left to drive for his own team. Joe Fox ran at Montreal and Watkins Glen. Kertus Davis returned after being releases from the #77 and drove at Michigan.
The #00 debuted at Milwaulkee with Mike Potter driving. They also entered at New Hamshire but withdrew before qualifying. They then attempted Gateway but failed to make the field.
