Career
Davis made his car racing debut in 1998, racing in the Sports 2000 class of the SCCA National Championship Runoffs.[3] Two years in the USF2000 Championship then ensued,[4] before making his sportscar racing debut in 2001 with Archangel Motorsports at the 24 Hours of Daytona and Petit Le Mans,[5] finishing second in LMP675 in the latter.[6] Across the following three seasons, Davis made one-off appearances in the American Le Mans Series and Rolex Sports Car Series,[7][8] before joining Tafel Racing for his first full-time season in the GT class of the Rolex Sports Car Series in 2005.[9]
Spending two and a half seasons with Porsche-fielding Tafel, Davis scored a best result of second in Utah in 2006 en route to sixth in points,[10] before leaving the team with five rounds yet to be run the following year to join Synergy Racing for select starts.[11] In 2008, Davis joined Robin Liddell at Pontiac-fielding Stevenson Motorsports to continue in the series,[12] and took wins in Mexico, VIR and Montreal to secure runner-up honors in GT.[13][14] Continuing with the team for 2009, Davis began the season with a win at VIR,[15] before ending the year with wins at Barber and Montreal en route to a third-place points finish.[16] A third season with Stevenson then followed, in which Davis scored a lone win in Utah and three podiums to finish fourth in the GT standings, driving a Chevrolet Camaro GT.R.[17]
Switching to Porsche customer team Brumos Racing for 2011,[18] Davis scored wins at Watkins Glen and Laguna Seca and finished third at Lime Rock to secure the GT class title alongside Leh Keen.[19][20] Continuing with Brumos for 2012,[21] Davis scored a best result of third four times and a pole at the 24 Hours of Daytona to end the year fifth in points.[22] A third season with the team then ensued, in which Davis scored a best result of third at Circuit of the Americas among his selected starts en route to a 17th-place points finish.[23]
When the American Le Mans Series and the Rolex Sports Car Series merged to become the United SportsCar Championship in 2014, Davis joined Porsche-linked Dempsey Racing to compete in the GTD class of the newly-created series.[24] In his maiden full-time season in the series, Davis scored a best result of third at VIR to end the year 19th in points.[25] In parallel, Davis raced for Stevenson Motorsports in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, reuniting with Robin Liddell and scoring wins at Sebring, Watkins Glen and Indianapolis en route to third in the GS standings, aboard a Chevrolet Camaro GT4.[26] Continuing with Stevenson Motorsports for his sophomore season in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, Davis scored four wins and four other podiums to secure the GS class title.[27][28] During 2015, Davis also joined Porsche-affiliated Alex Job Racing to compete in the endurance rounds of the United SportsCar Championship,[29] scoring a best result of second at the 24 Hours of Daytona.[30]

Remaining with Stevenson Motorsports in 2016, as the team joined the newly-rebranded IMSA SportsCar Championship with an Audi R8 LMS in GTD,[31] Davis and Liddell scored a pair of second-place finishes at Mosport and Lime Rock to end the season fourth in points.[32][33] Staying with the team for 2017,[34] Davis scored his only series win at Mosport and finished third at Road America en route to seventh in the GTD standings.[35] Across the following two seasons, Davis primarily raced in the Endurance Cup of the IMSA SportsCar Championship for fellow Audi-fielding teams Magnus Racing and Moorespeed in 2018 and 2019, respectively.[36][37] During this time period, Davis also made select appearances in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, in which he most notably finished third at VIR for Rebel Rock Racing in 2018, driving a Chevrolet Camaro GT4.[38]
Davis then joined GMG Racing to compete in the GT4 America Series,[39] in which he scored an outright win at Circuit of the Americas and three other class podiums to take fourth in the Pro-Am standings.[40] During 2020, Davis also made select appearances in the IMSA SportsCar Championship for Team Hardpoint,[41] and in the Michelin Pilot Challenge for Rebel Rock Racing, in which he won at Road Atlanta.[42] The following year, Davis joined Audi-fielding McCann Racing to return to full-time competition in the Michelin Pilot Challenge,[43] taking a best result of fourth at Road Atlanta and ending the year seventh in the GS standings.[44] During 2021, Davis also raced full-time in GT4 America for Aston Martin-fielding GMG Racing,[45] as well as making select appearances in the IMSA SportsCar Championship for Audi customer team NTE Sport and Aston Martin-linked Team Hardpoint EBM.[46][47]
Continuing with McCann Racing for 2022, as they switched to a Porsche Cayman, Davis scored a lone podium at Mid-Ohio en route to 13th in points.[48] During 2022, Davis also returned to GMG Racing for his third consecutive full-time season in GT4 America.[49] Returning full-time to the latter, albeit moving to Porsche-linked ACI Motorsports,[50] Davis secured a best result of third at Indianapolis and two other class podiums to finish sixth in the Silver Cup standings.[51] During 2023, Davis also raced at the 24 Hours of Daytona for Kelly-Moss with Riley in a Porsche 911 GT3 R (992),[52] as well as racing in the endurance rounds of the Michelin Pilot Challenge for Camaro-fielding Rebel Rock Racing.[53]
A part-time season in Michelin Pilot Challenge split between Rebel Rock and Ruckus Racing the following year then followed,[54] before Davis returned to full-time competition in McLaren Trophy America in 2025 for RWE Motorsport.[55] Racing in the Pro-Am class in his only season in the series, Davis scored an outright win at VIR, two further class wins and four other podiums to clinch runner-up honors in class.[56] During 2025, Davis also returned to Rebel Rock Racing, which now fielded an Aston Martin Vantage GT4, for the endurance rounds of the Michelin Pilot Challenge.[57] Davis continued with Rebel Rock Racing for a similar program the following year, in which he and Robin Liddell opened up the season by winning at Daytona.[58]
