Davenport Primed For World of Outlaws Late Model Series Visit To 311 Motor Speedway On Saturday Night (April 20)

Southeast’s Hottest Driver Will Bid For Victory At North Carolina Track In His Race Team’s Backyard

PINE HALL, NC – April 18, 2013 – Jonathan Davenport is arguably the hottest dirt Late Model driver in the Southeast over the past month, but is he hot enough to deal with some of the country’s best touring stars? He’s about to find out.

This Saturday night (April 20) Davenport will enter the 50-lap, $10,000-to-win World of Outlaws Late Model Series event at 311 Motor Speedway, kicking off three consecutive weekends in which the 29-year-old native of Blairsville, Ga., plans to compete with the national tour throughout his home region. For Davenport, it’s the most important stretch of action in his fledgling tenure as a driver for the AES Racing team.

“We’re definitely focusing on the next three weeks,” said Davenport, who owns two career WoO LMS A-Main victories, both at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C. (2010 and ’11 World Finals). “Even though we’ve been running good we haven’t really run too much on the national level yet, so we’re ready to test ourselves. I feel like we’re hitting our stride so hopefully this is a really good time for the Outlaws to come into our area.”

Former racer Mike Fulp’s half-mile 311 Motor Speedway would seem a perfect place for Davenport to start his challenge of the World of Outlaws stars. The venerable track sits about 45 minutes northeast of his current residence in Clemmons, N.C., and just over an hour’s drive southeast of the AES Racing shop in Mt. Airy, N.C., so he’ll basically be racing in his backyard. He’s also coming off a victory in an April 6 Carolina Clash Series event at 311, demonstrating his ability to negotiate the oval after a long absence from competition there.

“That was the first time I’d run there in about three years,” Davenport said of his visit to 311 Motor Speedway two weeks ago. “But it was pretty much just like I remembered it. It’s just a regular ‘ol Carolina racetrack, pretty good sized and fast.

“We unloaded good that night and everything basically went well for us. It ended up being a pretty big night for us because it was my first Clash win in years (since 2008) and it was the first win for Hoosier (Tire) in the Clash deal in a while.”

Whether Davenport’s 311 tuneup provides him an edge versus the Outlaws on Saturday night remains to be seen, but he did learn some valuable lessons.

“As far as what I have to do to my car (at 311), running there a couple weeks ago will definitely help us out,” said Davenport, who drives machines constructed by veteran chassis builder Barry Wright. “But tire wise, it’s put a big question mark in my head. Now I’m kind of confused about what to do on tires when I go back up there. The spec (Hoosier) tire that we had to run (in the Clash event) was actually a little better than I thought it would be versus our open-competition stuff, so we’re gonna have to decide which way to go.”
Davenport will go to the post at 311 seeking his fifth win in the last six weeks. After starting slow as he got acquainted with the AES Racing operation (including a trip to February’s WoO LMS tripleheader at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla., that saw him follow finishes of 19th and 13 th with a DNQ in the finale), the driver known as ‘Superman’ caught fire come spring. He was triumphant four straight weekends, preceding his 311 score with wins in Southern All-Star events on March 16 at East Alabama Motor Speedway and March 23 at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tenn., and a $30,000 checkered flag in the Carolina Crown special on March 30 at Lancaster (S.C.) Motor Speedway.

It appears that Davenport is reclaiming the rhythm he enjoyed while driving the Barry Wright house car from mid-2009 through the end of the 2011 season. After struggling last year on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in his first – and ultimately only – season driving for NASCAR star Clint Bowyer’s dirt Late Model team, Davenport’s move to AES Racing has returned him to the independent, pick-and-choose schedule that treated him and Wright so well.

“We’ve really come together good,” said Davenport, who has been competing in the dirt Late Model division for a decade. “We did a lot of testing at the start of the year with different cars and different ideas, but we kind of narrowed it down to a few things that we like better than others and we’re going forward with our program now.

“We’ve really hit on a few things here lately that have worked good for us and we’re going to the races that make the most sense for us,” he continued. “We’re kind of picking our battles and going where we’re good. Once we get rolling good and get confidence in our stuff, we’ll venture out and go run some places I haven’t been at too many times.”

Davenport could certainly give his team’s confidence a tremendous boost with a WoO LMS victory at 311 Motor Speedway, which is hosting the renowned circuit for the second consecutive season. He will have to outduel a star-studded roster of drivers, including defending WoO LMS champion Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky.; two-time titlist and current points leader Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va.; 2006 champ Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., who won last year’s tour event at 311; Shane Clanton of Fayetteville, Ga.; and 2011 champion Rick Eckert of York, Pa.

The traveling WoO LMS entourage headed to 311 – as well as the first half of this weekend’s North Carolina doubleheader on Fri., April 19, at Fayetteville Motor Speedway – also includes Scott James of Bright, Ind., Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., Bub McCool of Vicksburg, Miss., Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., and Rookie of the Year contenders Eric Wells of Hazard, Ky., Morgan Bagley of Longview, Texas, and Dillon Wood of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.

Other entrants expected at 311 include NASCAR Nationwide Series star Austin Dillon of Welcome, N.C., Dale McDowell of Chickmauga, Ga., Chris Ferguson of Mt. Holly, N.C., and Dennis ‘Rambo’ Franklin of Gaffney, S.C.

The 311 Motor Speedway gates are scheduled to open on Sat., April 20, at 3 p.m. Hot laps are set to begin at 6:20 p.m. with qualifying to follow.

General Admission is $30, with seniors (ages 65-and-over) $28, kids (9-12) $10 and children 8-and-under admitted free of charge. Pit admission is $40 and $20 for kids 12-and-under.

Turner Impressive at Lucas Oil Speedway
Story by: Trenton Berry / RacinDirt.com

Eric Turner made his 2013 Lucas Oil MLRA debut at Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday, April 13th, 2013 with an outstanding third place run.  A bad heat race finish placed him in the B feature, where he walked away for a convincing win. "We made a mistake in the heat race and tried to do a little bit there off of the schedule and it didn't work out," commented Turner. "We put it back the way it was supposed to be for the B (feature), and the car felt real good. I didn't even change anything for the A (feature). I just ground the tires and went out there. I knew we had a good car, when we started passing some cars."

A good car indeed, as Turner patiently picked off cars throughout the 40 lap main event from his seventeenth starting position. The race came down to the final yellow flag on lap thirty-seven. Chad Simpson restarted out front and will Vaught was to Turner's outside.  "The first thing that came to my mind was slide job," stated Turner in response to his restart approach. "I felt like my car could hold it. I went in there, and Will was thinking the same thing, and we both pushed together. We drag raced down the back stretch side by side, and then we went in the next corner, and he got a good run on the outside."

Turner spoke fondly of the racing surface which went through a number of changes over the winter. "They did a really good job on the track tonight and the changes they made over the off-season were apparent. We should be in store for one heck of a Show Me 100 over Memorial Day Weekend."

It was also his first chance to race in front of his hometown fans this year. "We really put in a lot of work over the off-season to get our program better. It was neat to have such a good run here at home. I don't get to race here enough anymore, so I really wanted to make the most of it for the fans."
