Dollywood Parks & Resorts will sponsor Quinn Davis, driver of the No. 85 Ford, for the rest of the ARCA Menards Series East season, City Garage Motorsports announced on Friday, April 24.
Davis lives in Sparta, Tenn., approximately 130 miles from Dollywood, located in Pigeon Forge.
“Dollywood has always been more than just a place to me—it’s a piece of my heart,” Davis said in the press release. “Some of my most cherished memories were made there, surrounded by family and friends-laughing on the rides, getting lost in the shows, and just living in the moment. It means everything to me, and I carry that with me every time I compete. To represent something so personal, not just for myself but for Tennessee, is an honor I feel deeply every single day.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Dollywood into the CGM family,” City Garage Motorsports team owner Stuart Weiss stated. “Dollywood stands for fun, family, hard work, and authentic Southern hospitality-qualities that mirror our racing program and Quinn’s own journey. This partnership not only strengthens our presence for the remainder of the season but also creates meaningful connections with fans both at the racetrack and inside the park. With Quinn’s personal story, this collaboration feels especially authentic, and we’re looking forward to delivering strong results together.”
“Our goal at Dollywood Parks & Resorts is to provide guests with unique experiences they’ll remember for a lifetime,” Eugene Naughton, Dollywood Parks & Resorts president, added. “Quinn is a great example of how these special moments continue to inspire our guests to chase their dreams. We’re excited to join her as she competes in the ARCA East division this season.
“We also hope those Dollywood logos inspire her fellow competitors to visit the park every time she passes them.”
Davis sits 14th in the ARCA East driver standings after two races with six events remaining in the season. In 10 ARCA platform starts, she has one top 10.
In addition to fielding Davis full time in the East series, CGM has participated in two ARCA Menards Series events. Using two different teams’ owners’ points, Logan Misuraca attempted the national division season opener at Daytona International Speedway and will compete at Talladega Superspeedway.
Davis will continue her East season at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on May 2. The green flag will fly for that race at 9 p.m. ET with live coverage provided by FloRacing and the NASCAR Channel.
Whew. At first I read the headline as being Quin Houff. Immediately was wondering how many cautions this would add, and how many times he would be lapped. Glad I misread that.
