Jonathan Davenport needs to be mentioned, he finished second at Dixie and third at Rome to claim this year’s Lucas Oil Championship.    The team owned by Mark Martin and Lance Landers accomplished what they set out to do in 2018.   Davenport races Longhorn Chassis and Durham Race Engines.   Davenport is not finished yet, he has his eye on the World 100 and the Dirt Track World Championships in the coming weeks.  He is the defending World 100 Champion.
