Out Weekend with $15,000 Diamond Nationals Win! At Wheatland on Saturday evening in the 'CMH Diamond Nationals' opener, Jonathan grabbed the fourth transfer spot through his stacked heat race and later steered past eight competitors during the $15,000 to win main event to place fifth in the final finishing order behind only victor Jimmy Owens, Earl Pearson, Jr., Mike Marlar, and Scott Bloomquist. Earlier in the four-race weekend at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois, Jonathan won his heat race on Friday night before nosepiece issues in the $12,000 to win A-Main helped relegate him to a sixteenth place effort, while the Blairsville, Georgia ace ran seventh in his heat race, won his B-Main, and wound up eighteenth in the final rundown of Thursday's $12,000 to win feature after making hard contact with the wall on lap 41.

Dazzles in Dirt Late Model Dream Prelim! When Saturday rolled around at the hallowed 1/2-mile speedplant, all eyes in the pit area were solely fixated on capturing the whopping $125,000 payday in the 25th running of the 'Dirt Late Model Dream.' Jonathan streaked to a heat race triumph, which enabled him to start sixth on the grid in the 100-lap crown jewel extravaganza. The Blairsville, Georgia superstar then looked as if he had the car to beat in the 'Dirt Late Model Dream' by blasting up to second early in the distance and racing Kyle Strickler for the lead shortly after the quarter-mark of the contest. Unfortunately, contact between the two leaders on lap 28 resulted in a bent tie-rod for the #49, which ultimately caused Jonathan to retire in the twenty-third finishing position.

Wins Clash at the Mag Prelim for $5,000! When Saturday rolled around, the Double L Motorsports team was eying the $15,000 winner's check and JD rolled off from the outside of the second row in the 100-lap grand finale by virtue of his strong preliminary night point performance. The extra-distance affair ran caution-free and Jonathan turned up the wick in the second half of the contest to advance up to third to land on the podium behind only victor Mike Marlar and runner-up Tim McCreadie. The popular driver known as "Superman" still finds himself on top of the LOLMDS point standings following the weekend in Mississippi, as he hunts his third Championship with the national touring series.

(July
21, 2019) Following the win in the weekend lid lifter
at I-80 Speedway, the #49 team eyed their second straight 'Silver
Dollar Nationals' triumph on July 19-20 in the blistering heat at
the Cornhusker State speedplant. In the double heat races on Friday
night, Jonathan Davenport picked up the victory in his first heat
race, while he advanced up to sixth in his second and final prelim
of the evening. By virtue of racking up the twelfth most passing
points in preliminary action, Jonathan earned the rights to the
outside of the sixth row for the start of Saturday's 80-lap weekend
headliner. With 53,000 reasons to get up on the wheel in the 'Silver
Dollar Nationals,' he quickly blitzed up to the second spot by lap
21, but unfortunately his Longhorn Chassis sustained right front
damage after a bout with the cushion on the 25th circuit. Jonathan
- despite the aerodynamic disadvantage from losing his right front
fender - was able to soldier on for the remainder of the crown jewel
event to salvage a sixth place showing behind only race winner Bobby
Pierce, Chris Madden, Brandon Sheppard, Scott Bloomquist, and Dale
McDowell. Full results can be accessed by clicking on
