Every time the rider from Ecuador, Davalos, lines up to race at Daytona, he draws a massive crowd of fans from his home country, cheering on the No. 73 rider. The day started strong as he qualified seventh coming into the night program. In Heat 2, Davalos rocketed out of the gate for a top-3 start but was taken out by a competitor in Turn 2. From the last position in his heat, Davalos would remount to an impressive charge that would see him crossing the finish line in fifth place. In the 250SX Main Event, Davalos once again with another stellar start, found himself inside the top-5, where he would run for more than half of the race before fading back to finish in 10th.
