Josh Hart repped D H Davies Racing during the Gatornationals

CLEVELAND --- D H Davies Racing, led by Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown team owner and driver David Davies, and Josh Hart, driver of the R+L Carriers Top Fuel dragster and owner of Burnyzz Speed Shop in Ocala, Florida, solidified a racing relationship prior to the NHRA Gatornationals. The relationship will center around Hart's move into the Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown Series under the DHDR umbrella as well as Davies' interest in developing racing opportunities in other classes.

"Josh and I have been talking about building a racing relationship since the end of last season," said Davies. "He is a life-long Dodge guy who bought a Factory Stock Dodge Challenger when they were first released but never raced it. I suggested he give it a go in 2025 with the support of DHDR and I am excited about that opportunity. We have also talked about some other racing endeavors for the future but right now we are focusing on the Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown Series."

Hart's first outing in the Burnyzz Speed Shop Dodge Challenger was hampered by the inclement weather at the Gatornationals but Hart is looking forward to the Charlotte Four-Wide Nationals to make a more representative debut. The seasoned Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Fuel Dragster driver quickly adapted to his Factory Stock race car, but additional laps will make all the difference in Charlotte. He is also looking forward to picking up more tips from Davies and the DHDR racing operation.

"I have been watching the Factory Stock class, and this was just the perfect time to make the move with the help and direction of David," said Hart. "We have had several great conversations about a lot of directions we can both grow and build our respective teams."

DHDR also supports Madi Turley in their Driver Development Program. "We're excited to continue to have Madi part of our team. With new power last year and some additional enhancements to her car this year she'll certainly be a force to be reckoned with," said Davies.

In addition, DHDR is scheduled to attend Bonneville Speed Week (Aug. 2-8th) this year with Davies piloting a car that has been under development for 2 years. "It's been a long road, and we're excited to get out on the salt this year to go after a land speed record. We have a great team of partners including Wesley Motorsports, HemiTuner Performance, Kevin Helms, Whipple Superchargers and E3 Spark Plugs and we're looking forward to showcasing the result of their hard work and support," said Davies.

Hart and Davies will be back on track together at the Charlotte Four-Wide Nationals, April 25-27, 2025, at zMax Dragway.
