FORMER Supercars driver Shae Davies will compete on this weekend’s Penrite Oil Sandown 500 undercard in the Trans Am Cup Series.
Davies once upon a time was a regular in the Dunlop Super2 Series, contesting 69 races across seasons 2014-18, picking up a pole position and seven top-three finishes along the way.
He also had a short stint full-time in the main game, slotting in at Erebus Motorsport for the final six rounds of the 2016 season, plus making a pair of wildcard appearances for MW Motorsport the following year.

Now 36 years of age, Davies has been largely off the radar in more recent times besides a handful of appearances in Stadium Super Trucks and S5000.
V8 Sleuth understands Davies is set to enter the Trans Am field with Maverick Performance, who also will be running Triple Eight prodigy Oli Wickham this weekend.
Among further changes to the grid since the first half of the Sandown Trans Am doubleheader last weekend, Jarrod Hughes is expected to sit out the season finale to focus on his Erebus Supercars duties, while Team Thryv Race For A Cure has already indicated Ben Grice will be an addition.
Nathan Herne is on the verge of wrapping up the title, holding a 76-point advantage over nearest rival Todd Hazelwood.
