On February 11, 2017, Davis signed with Venturini Motorsports to run seven ARCA Racing Series events in 2017 after testing with the team at Daytona International Speedway. His first race was at Talladega Superspeedway. After scoring a top-five in his first race, Davis found the top ten in three of his other six starts. He also ran premier late model events.
Balancing a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule in 2018, Davis wound up running a partial schedule in the K&N East for Danny Watts Racing, which operated in conjunction with Rette Jones Racing. Expanding on that, Davis and RJR announced a full K&N East slate for 2019. At World Wide Technology Raceway in August, Davis earned his first win with RJR and first in three-plus years, passing Sam Mayer on a late green-white-checkered restart.
