FORMER Supercars driver Shae Davies will compete on this weekend\u2019s Penrite Oil Sandown 500 undercard in the Trans Am Cup Series.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Among further changes to the grid since the first half of the Sandown Trans Am doubleheader last weekend, Jarrod Hughes<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nathan Herne<\/a> is on the verge of wrapping up the title, holding a 76-point advantage over nearest rival Todd Hazelwood<\/a>.<\/p>\n
