Castrol FloRacing Night in America
Jonathan Davenport Wires Castrol® FloRacing Night in America Eldora Field
Miniseries Makes I-75 Debut on Thursday, Sept. 12 with $20,000-To-Win Super Late Model Program
ROSSBURG, Ohio (Sept.4, 2024) — Jonathan Davenport continued his Eldora Speedway dominance on Wednesday night with a $20,000 Castrol® FloRacing Night in America presented by Kubota victory.
Davenport led all 50 laps from the outside-front-row starting spot for his first win of year with the miniseries and the fourth of his career with the tour. The 2021 Castrol® FloRacing Night in America presented by Kubota Champion took the checkered flag 7.211 seconds in front of Devin Moran with Ricky Thornton Jr., Hudson O’Neal, and Bobby Pierce.
“It may have looked easy but I didn’t feel as comfortable in the car as I would’ve liked, and somehow I managed to hit the wall again,” Davenport quipped in FloRacing Victory Lane. “This car is so good, and I love it and worry about it even sitting in the show because I never want anything to happen to it. I know the end of the feature that the groove got a little narrow, but man this track crew did a great job getting it from where it was on Sunday to where we had it tonight. I know they’ll keep grinding on it, and we’ll have a great track for the World 100 weekend.”
With five rounds of the miniseries in the books, Bobby Pierce holds a 3-point advantage over Ricky Thornton Jr. with Daulton Wilson, Jason Feger, Garrett Alberson, Spencer Hughes, Tyler Erb, Dennis Erb Jr., Brandon Sheppard, and Carson Ferguson rounding out the current Top 10 in the points.
Castrol FloRacing Night in America presented by Kubota continues the 2024 season with its first-ever visit to I-75 Raceway (Niota, Tenn.) on Thursday, September 12. The 2024 edition of the FK Rod Ends Tarheel 53 presented by Jacky Jones Automotive Group is headlined by a $20,000-to-win / $1,000-to-start Super Late Model program.
The Red Clay 602 Late Model Series will compete in a $2,000-to-win program, and the Front Wheel Drive division will pursue a $500 top prize. The night will be closed out by a 100-lap Enduro, which posts a $2,000 top prize.
