Bio
- Davey Apex has always dreamed of being a professional race car. Sure he's never come in higher than 20th or 21st, but it's still the life he's always dreamed of. He loves the cheering fans and the squealing rubber on asphalt. The only part he doesn't like is the racing part which is probably why he's never come in higher than 20th or 21st place. See Davey's just not competitive by nature. If someone wants to pass him, he lets them. I mean why be rude?[1]

Trivia

- In the 2016, 2019 and 2022 die-cast mainlines, he is referred to as Dave Alternators.
- In the 2018 die-cast mainline, he is mistakenly referred to as T.G. Castlenut, which is actually the name of the veteran in Cars 3.
- His name resembles that of the 1992 Daytona 500 champion Dave Allison, who passed away in 1993 at Talladega.
- Despite his bio saying he never finished higher than 20th, he actually finished 11st in the Dinoco 400.
- He resembles the 1996 version of the Pontiac Grand Prix.
- Unlike the other Crown Celestas, which have smaller, thinner builds, Dave has a wider body, similar to that of a Capitol Motors Verve XT.
