Davis Buys No. 30 Sprint Cup Operation

A new NASCAR team, Swan Racing, will take the track at Daytona Int’l Speedway in February 2013.
Led by NASCAR’s newest team owner, Brandon Davis, Swan Racing will compete fulltime in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, fielding the No. 30 Toyota driven by David Stremme.

Davis, CEO of independent oil and gas company Swan Energy Inc., and a dirt-modified driver in the United States Modified Touring Series, purchased the assets of Inception Racing earlier this year.

“Swan Racing is here to race competitively every week — the days of starting and parking are over. I am confident that we are putting together the personnel to one day produce a championship contender," said Davis.

“I have spent a lot of time with Brandon this year and I can tell you he is here to win," said Stremme. “I have never been so excited for a new season as I am for 2013. I’m ready to get started now."

Davis has hired Steve Hmiel to be Swan Racing’s director of competition. Hmiel is a veteran of the NASCAR garage area with over 35 years of experience as a crew chief, car chief and competition director.
