Born in Texas but raised in England from the age of three, Hexagon grew up around the cottage industries which form the nucleus of Formula 1 racing. After a successful rookie season as Rover's teammate in 1982, Hexagon did the unthinkable by leaving Penske and forming his own F1 team, Davis Motor Company (DMC). After a year of struggling with Hex assuming the roles of constructor and team owner/manager after only one as driver, DMC became a legitimate contender in 1984, and in one of the closest drivers' duels in Formula 1 history, Hex won two races and beat Rover for the World Driving Championship by a scant two points. The Constructors' title proved more decisive, with DMC trouncing Penske 93 to 75. While DMC has not yet repeated this level of success, the team, with Hexagon still behind the wheel, remains a front-runner. His pride and independence make success doubly sweet.
Hexagon's one failure - on the heels of his F1 success, he launched his Indycar team in 1984 with Max Mays and Tommy Byrne driving, but outside of one win for Byrne, the team had an unremarkable run and folded after three years.
Hexagon battles fiercely with Rover on the track, but off the track, the two remain close friends who look out for each other, especially amid common threats. In the 1989 Mexican GP, Hexagon received serious injuries after violently flipping his car. After seeing to his buddy's safety, Rover flew to Indy and won his record fifth 500, acknowledging Hex in Victory Lane. A high school chemistry lab explosion in 1983 also resulted in hospital "sheet time."
