Owen Garrett’s vivid imagery and insightful interview capture the essence of Davis’s relentless drive and passion for motorsport.

A first-generation racer and military kid, Davis has carved her path in motorsport without a financial safety net, building a business around her racing career since her go-karting days at age 15. She reflects on her early hustle, from cold-calling sponsors to navigating the complexities of motorsport as a self-made athlete. “I was figuring it out as I went,” Davis says, emphasizing her entrepreneurial spirit, which she sees as inseparable from her racing identity. Her drifting journey began with a three-rotor RX-7 build, though she only started competing in drifting four years ago after years of preparation.

Davis discusses her growth in the sport, attributing her success at events like U.S. Drift Circuit and Sonoma Raceway to increased seat time and global competition experience. She candidly shares the challenges of building confidence in her C6 Corvette while debuting a new car with minimal practice. Looking ahead, Davis is focused on consistency, reliability, and surrounding herself with a team that shares her goals.
