Chili Bowl Main Event Starts: 4

Chili Bowl Main Event Finishes:  12th (2002), 8th (2004), 12th (2007), 15th (2008)

2009 Chili Bowl Results:

Saturday: 4th in G Main 2; 2nd in F Main 2; 6th in E Main 2

A pair of Badger runner-up finishes at Angell Park were the best of four top-tens in nine North American feature starts in 2009 before picking off a pair of November wins Down Under, including a $12,000 Magic Man 34 win at the Perth Motorplex.

A Chili Bowl preliminary feature winner in 2007, Davey's 2009 hopes were dimmed when a battery fell off while he held down a transfer position in qualifying night "B" Main action.
