Leads Laps; Finishes Third and Sixth at Charlotte In Saturday's weekend finale at the 4/10-mile speedplant, Jonathan once again scored a heat race triumph and later rolled off from the inside of the second row in the 50-lapper. The Blairsville, Georgia star briefly wrestled away the top spot from eventual winner Jimmy Owens in lapped traffic on the 20th circuit, but unfortunately got into the front stretch wall on the following lap.

Jonathan Davenport
Claims Second Straight Lucas Oil Title! The Blairsville, Georgia standout then ran amongst the top ten early in the $100,000 to win crown jewel spectacular before he drew a lap 40 caution flag due to a deflating Hoosier tire. Jonathan then returned to the racetrack at the tail end of the feature field - with fresh rubber - and was able to salvage an apparent ninth place performance. However, after the race, series officials deemed that Jonathan did not have a flat right rear tire when he drew the caution and changed tires, which unfortunately disqualified him and dropped him to twenty-sixth in the final finishing order of the DTWC.
