History is on the horizon for Will Davison, who is set to become just the fifth driver in ATCC/Supercars Championship history to record 600 race starts.

After a stint in Europe chasing Formula 1, Davison made his Supercars debut in 2004 as a fresh-faced 21-year-old for Team Dynamik at Winton Motor Raceway. After a co-drive campaign with Dick Johnson Racing in 2005, he rose to the main game.

In two decades, Davison has scaled some of the highest heights in the sport, headlined by two victories in the Great Race, victory in Adelaide, and enduro wins at Phillip Island and the Gold Coast.

'Davo' has done it all, raced for the biggest teams, and has challenged for championships. At Sandown, a place close to his heart, the veteran will turn 599 into 600, a feat just four drivers have achieved.

Ahead of Davison's 600th race, Supercars.com highlights the key numbers from a remarkable career.

Davison has two Bathurst 1000 victories, with the Holden Racing Team in 2009, and Tekno Autosports in 2016. He is one of 22 drivers to have multiple Great Race wins.

Davison has 81 championship podiums, ranking him 10th all time. He is seven behind Mark Skaife (88) and 15 ahead of Courtney (66).
