NEW SCITES TO DRIVE NO. 06 CHAMPION CHEVROLET IN 2008

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (March 18, 2008) – After a successful 2007 season, Davin Scites Motorsports has announced the No. 06 Champion Chevrolet schedule for 2008, which features a full slate of racing at Motor Mile Speedway in Radford, Va., plus select late model stock car events at other tracks throughout the Southeast.

Scites, a native of West Virginia, ended the 2007 season with five wins, 15 top fives and 18 top-10 finishes. He also set a new track record in qualifying for the annual late model stock car race at Martinsville in September.

His success behind the wheel led Scites to an association with the Dale Earnhardt Jr.-owned JR Motorsports for the 2008 season. Sponsored by Champion, a world leader in the manufacturing of spark plugs, Scites moved into JR Motorsports’ 66,000-square foot facility in Mooresville, N.C., at the end of 2007.
"Davin is a great race car driver and a great friend,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “He worked out of a shop near my house last year and I was impressed with the number of wins he racked up during the season. It seemed like every time I walked into the shop there was a new trophy Davin had won over the weekend.

“With all his success, JR Motorsports is proud to be associated with Davin Scites Motorsports for the 2008 season. I'm looking forward to seeing Davin put the No. 06 Champion Chevy in Victory Lane."

Scites first race of the season is scheduled for April 5 at Motor Mile Speedway.
“I’m so excited to get this season started,” Scites said. “We’ve been working hard on the car to get it ready for the season. We are honored to have Champion as our sponsor and can’t wait to get on the track and get to racing.”

NEW Davin Scites Wins the Mid-Atlantic Championship 350
October 15, 2007 (Asheboro, NC) –“After the great run we had at Martinsville, I was looking forward to Caraways big race, the Mid-Atlantic Championship 350. “

We went to practice on Saturday and I knew we had a good car. I just need some minor adjustments.” Scites Drew a late number for qualifying and ran a 17.310 putting him 3rd quickest.

”After qualifying the top six drew for their starting positions, of course I drew the last number 6th! “

At the start of the race Scites was on the outside. “At a small track like Caraway the bottom is the place to be. I fell back to around 7th at the start. I finally got to the bottom and then started working my way back to the front and drove up to 2^nd position.”

At 125 laps into the race, officials called a caution to allow the drivers to put fuel in the cars, change tires and make adjustments.

”We made a track bar adjustment and wedge adjustment for the second half of the race. As the race went green, and knowing that there were 125 laps to go I wanted to save my racecar but at the same time I didn’t want to let the leader get too far ahead of me. I started hitting lap traffic and I decided to make a move on the high side trapping the leader behind a lap car. This time it worked great! We took the lead and never looked back!”

Davin Scites Test Craftsman Truck
October 8, 2007 - Today Davin Scites spent the testing in a Craftsman Truck. “The Truck felt good. The horsepower is really a lot of fun to drive. “

“All day the truck was really loose and we tried to tighten it up. It was a great day though and I’m looking forward running more laps.”
