Josh Hart Eager to Take on Flexjet Factory Stock in Charlotte
OCALA, FL – Josh Hart has built his professional and motorsports career on overcoming obstacles with a positive attitude and a never give up 
mindset. His debut Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown national event driving the Burnyzz Speed Shop Dodge Challenger was a lesson in turning a negative into a positive. The first race of the season, the NHRA Gatornationals, was heavily impacted by weather and his team’s limited time preparing for the race was a perfect storm of frustration and missed opportunity. However, the business owner from Ocala, Florida, who teamed up with David H. Davis Racing (DHDR) to field the factory stock entry has already put that event behind him as he focuses on this weekend’s American Rebel Light Four-Wide Nationals at zMax Dragway.
“I don’t even look at the Gatornationals as a race honestly,” said Hart, who has competed in a variety of classes in the NHRA. “I am focusing on this weekend’s Charlotte Four-Wide Nationals as my real debut. This Burnyzz Speed Shop Dodge Challenger never really got a good opportunity in Florida with the rain. I am really looking forward to this weekend.”
Hart has owned the Dodge Challenger he will be campaigning this weekend since the Flexjet Factory Stock Showdown Series was announced over five years ago. Over the offseason Hart and Davies, a veteran of the factory stock class, talked about how they could work together to get Hart behind the wheel in one of the most competitive door-slammer classes in the NHRA. The plan came together quickly after the first of the year and DHDR has contributed mightily to getting Hart’s operation ready. Continue reading
