Winning Quote From Jonathan Davenport

“Keep throwing stuff at it (has been the biggest key to winning). We were stuck in our ways for a long time there at the beginning of the year, just cause we had such a good year last year and we thought same cars, same shocks, everything should work the same; but that’s just the way this Dirt Late Model racing goes ya know, you get too complacent and you quit working and everybody catches up.”
