JGR driver Marc Davis to make Nationwide debut at Memphis

DOVER, Del. – Joe Gibbs Racing development driver Marc Davis will drive the No. 18 Nationwide Series car in the Oct. 25 event at Memphis Motorsports Park.
The No. 18 car typically has a Sprint Cup driver behind the wheel, but the Cup drivers will be in Atlanta that weekend, which opened up the seat instead of having a JGR Cup driver fly to Memphis.
The 18-year-old African-American driver made his Craftsman Truck Series debut last month at Gateway International Raceway and will run a few more races this year with Randy Moss Motorsports.
“Memphis is going to be huge for us to get a chance to get in the Nationwide car and make my mark and just gradually move up,” Davis said. “We’ll be doing the truck stuff, too. All of this is coming together in the last month or two. I’m definitely looking forward to it. It looks like everything is taking a move in the right direction.”
Davis said which truck races he will compete in are still to be determined.
