The 21-year-old was named as the first British winner of the prestigious event after Josh Hayes, who crossed the finish line first, was disqualified for illegal crankshaft modifications.
Hayes' Erion Honda team has appealed the decision, but at present the AMA still lists new Attack Kawasaki rider Davies as the official event winner.
"It wasn't until that evening when we were out eating at a Pirelli dinner that we heard the news of some ‘technicalities' that involved Josh Hayes," Chaz wrote on his official website. "Soon enough we were getting stories from all angles and everything started to reveal itself. Nobody could quite believe it at first. We all thought that Richard was joking.
"None of us were celebrating at all because it wasn't that sort of feeling. Everybody was shocked and felt bad for Josh. I get on well with Josh and he least deserved this out of anybody who could have won the race. But the rules are the rules. It could take a while for the final outcome of this situation to be made public as it has been appealed by Honda.
"In all honesty it's a lose lose situation for everybody. Kawasaki didn't get the promotion out of it that they deserve, I didn't to stand on the top of the podium and it just doesn't feel like a win. We'll just have to try and do the job properly next time...!
"All in all I'm very happy to come out of
Daytona with decent points on the board in both classes. We now have three tests in row which should bode really well for getting some good work done with the Supersport bike just getting it a bit more competitive. It should be a fun season!"
Prior to the '200, Chaz had recovered to fourth place in the AMA Supersport race after suffering brake problems at turn one.
2008 marks Chaz's second season in the AMA. The #57 raced in 125 and then 250GP from 2002-2006, before making four
MotoGP appearances for d'Antin Ducati last year.
