Davidson looks to stay hot at Five Flags
Strategy has worked out
Chris Davidson makes no bones about.
The Pearland, Texas, late model driver is not trying to keep the secret of his success under wraps.
“I’m not gonna lie. The key is Mike,” Davidson said.
Mike is Mike Garvey, who owns wins in both the Super Late Model and Pro Late Model series this season.
Davidson has leaned on Garvey for a few years with the setup of his black No. 41.
As a deep PLM field returns for the second 100 lapper of the season Friday at Five Flags Speedway, Davidson is ecstatic things finally are beginning to click.
“(Garvey) hasn’t done anything different for us. He’s helping in the same exact manner,” said Davidson, who currently sits seventh in the PLM points standings going into this week. “It just took us some time to figure out what we needed to do to turn it into results.”
Sportsmen and Bombers also will be looking for quality results when the gates open at 5 p.m. Friday.
This week also marks the return of the annual kids bicycle races, which will begin shortly after 8 p.m. Children 11 and younger get in free.
There will be four age groups, and all will be required to wear helmets. There is no entry fee, and registration will take place inside the main entrance to grandstands.
Trophies and ice cream tickets will be awarded following the races.
While ice cream might not be handed out at the end of the PLM race, Davidson will gladly accept a trophy and the checkered flag.
A few years back, the 34-year-old had the prestigious Tom Dawson trophy and short-track immortality in his grasp.
Davidson led the 2002 Snowball Derby on the white flag before tire issues forced him to a fourth-place finish behind eventual winner Ricky Turner, Rich Bickle and Charlie Bradberry.
