JD Motorsports, is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. It is owned and operated by Johnny Davis. It currently fields the No. 6 part-time for multiple drivers. The team utilizes engines from Clements Racing Engines and is one of the oldest teams in the sport having competed in the very first official NASCAR Xfinity Series race, the 1983 Goody's 300.

Johnny Davis has been affiliated with NASCAR competition for over 30 years, serving as a crew member, fabricator, and then crew chief for several Cup Series and Xfinity Series teams. Davis' first foray into team ownership was with competition Go-Karts in the 1990s. The team has since expanded and is located in a state-of-the-art 40,000+ square foot facility in Gaffney, South Carolina. The team made history by having the first female crew chief in 2008 and building the first Nationwide Series Car of Tomorrow.[1] In July 2024, it was reported that JD Motorsports has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in April 2024 and that they laid off several of their employees.[2]
