A Remarkable Comeback

After 21 operations and two years of rehabilitation due to a devastating crash in which he nearly lost his legs and feet at Texas Motor Speedway June 9, 2001, Davey returned to Indy Car racing at the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500 in May 2006. Davey's strong desire and determination to once again race in the 500 were instrumental in securing a ride with Hewlett Packard/Vision Racing Team. Davey qualified 20th and finished 9th in the rain shortened race.

Since 2003 Davey has been the preferred driver of the Indy Racing Experience, a two-seater style Indy Car in which fans can take rides in at various tracks throughout the United States. “I have really enjoyed the two-seater and every time I get in the car I think about how good it feels and how comfortable I am behind the wheel". Davey contributes a large part of his comeback with his participation with the Indy Racing Experience. Davey continues to drive for this program.

Davey also provides driver analysis for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network for all Indy Car Series Races. During the 2006 and 2007 races Davey provided a unique in car analysis of the race from the cockpit of his race car.

In February 2009 Davey and Kingdom Racing formed an Indy Lights Racing Team with Brandon Wagner has their driver.
