Davey Callihan (born August 17, 1989) is an American professional stock car racing driver who competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 01 Toyota for Fast Track Racing.

Racing career

Callihan first began racing in go karts and motorcycles before transitioning over to stock cars in 2010. He would go on to mainly compete at Dominion Raceway in the Virginia Racer class, where he would finish third in the standings with two wins in 2020.[1]

In 2021, Callihan would rmake his debut in the ARCA Menards Series East at Southern National Motorsports Park, driving the No. 3 Ford for Mullins Racing, having previously ran with the team during the pre-season test at Daytona International Speedway earlier in the year.[1] He would start eleventh and finish three laps down in ninth place.

In 2022, would compete in various late-model events, including making his debut in the CARS Late Model Stock Tour at Dominion, where he would finish 21st to due a mechanical issue.[2] It was also during this year that he was involved in an incident following a qualifying heat race for the Virginia Late Model Triple Crown Series event at Martinsville Speedway, where he would make contact with Andrew Grady whilst fighting for a transfer spot late in the race.[3][4][5] Following the race, Grady would run over to Callihan's car, where he would proceed to punch Callihan while he was still sitting in his car. Grady would then proceed to kick Callihan's car as he was carried away by a staff member.[6] Grady would later go on to claim that Callihan had been giving him obscene gestures as he was walking over to the latters car, although Callihan denied this claim, and that Calliham "had no business driving a late-model, let alone a lawn mower".[7] Grady would fail to qualify for the event while Callihan would go on to finish 22nd in the main event.

In 2023, it was announced that Callihan would make his debut in the main ARCA Menards Series at Elko Speedway, driving the No. 01 Toyota for Fast Track Racing in collaboration with Mullins Racing.[3] He would start eighth and finish on the lead lap in sixth place despite being involved in a collision with Frankie Muniz late in the race.[8][9]
