Ep. 166 | James Davison

The Racing Writer's Podcast

James Davison was confronted with the decision of returning to the Indianapolis 500 or running more NASCAR races, and he says his heart is in NASCAR. Davison explains what has hooked him; comparing the feeling of driving an IndyCar versus a stock car; his reaction to the first time being behind the wheel of a stock car; how much his IndyCar prospects played into his decision; how Davison came to NASCAR in the first place; his racing background and how he came to the United States; why he went the open-wheel route over NASCAR at the start of his career; the influence of his parents on his racing career, and how they feel about him in NASCAR; the funding difference between IndyCar and NASCAR; what Davison is enjoying learning about NASCAR on and off the track; how he knows he’s put in a good day or learned something; tracks he feels most comfortable already and the ones he’s looking forward to; what Davison’s long-term NASCAR plans are.
