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.”

Brad Lemley, who won three races and took home seven poles, said he will run the whole season as he looks to win the series title.
