Jonathan Davenport Says What's On His Mind At Knoxville Raceway | One Lap, One Beer 

Man doesn't like a certain track, ok..I'm sure most have one . The insight from this interview was awesome. Thanks

Who cares if he said it’s dump. Y’all are so sensitive.

I love the idea of the National Tour Series running about 30 dates and then let these guys run around home to build up local/regional racing. As it stands now, not gonna happen because the 2 major national series are still in an arms race with each other. But kudos to JD for thinking and saying it.

I like him even more now . Not offened by Knoxville comment . ✌️

JD I am praying for your Dad, the cow and the cat and your precious family now and always 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I love how he says what's on his mind

It is a Dump. For everything except sprint cars. The sprint car racing is often amazing unfortunately the Late models and modified racing is complete trash. There’s many reasons including size, corner shape, width, banking and general layout. Add the growing dependency and the negative effects of aero and it only gets worse. The people whom got their panties in a bunch over this statement are either sprint fans or those whom don’t comprehend the differences between the two racing mediums and what’s required for good racing. The sprint car community took offense to the statement. That’s because they gave the track too much unwarranted prestige. Some people got angry although they never even watched an event there. The fact is, the Latemodel racing is easily better at 100 other race tracks in this country. They are more entertaining on a 3/8 mile track in a farmers field then here. Even the racing at the great Eldora isn’t always great. Superman himself even commented on the bad racing following his last win. When that track lays down the racing just sucks. It does. That’s truth. But still not as bad as every latemodel event at Knox. Besides it’s America and our verbal opinions are protected by the 1st amendment.

Also I would love to see JD come back to TOCCOA...it would be awesome...before I die...lol

Knoxville is my local track and love attending the races there. You have to respect his opinion if a track doesn't mesh with your driving style it is what it is. Like he said calling it a dump probably wasn't the best way to say it but life goes on.

If you don’t want an honest answer don’t ask the question

Who can honestly say they don’t enjoy watching Superman do his thing? Good luck on the $50,000, and hope to see you at Tyler County Speedway Middlebourne WV, 09/27/23 for the night in America race! ALSO: why do half of these comments not make any sense at all? Or is that just me lol.

He put that money up son!!! Smart with his money!!!

When u win everything ...and can back up what you say....you can say what ever you want .....winners say whatever they want to...

Love SUPERMAN JD💞🤗💞🏁🏆🏁SPEAKS HIS MIND AND DOESN'T WORRY ABOUT IF SOMEONE DISAGREES OR JUST HATES WHAT HE SAYS!! A REAL MAN AND A GREAT RACE CAR DRIVER 🏁🏆🏁💞🤗💞🏁🏆🏁 HOPE YOU'RE IN VICTORY LANE WITH THAT $50 THOUSAND DOLLAR CHECK!!! LOVE WATCHING YOU RACE NO MATTER WHAT TRACK !! YOU MAKE IT WORK EVEN IF TRACK CONDITIONS ARE NOT GOOD!! THERE'S A NUMBER OF TRACKS THAT COULD IMPROVE TRACK PREP INCLUDING KNOXVILLE. I LOVE THE FACILITY BUT THEY DEFINITELY COULD IMPROVE TRACK PREP!! STILL EXCITING TO WATCH THE BEST OF THE BEST RACING 🏁🏆🏁 DIRT TRACK RACING IS THE BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD 🏁🏆🏁👍💞🤗💞🙏🏻🏁🏆🏁

What we need is to get Crate Late Models more famous, they could keep track stands full if they got more attention and had a couple SLM drivers showing up once in a while.

Whatever SLM series comes up with a twice a month racing schedule, could be a 10 month schedule, with all the events paying $50K+ to win and a minimum of $5k to start with a high dollar points fund will leave the rest of the series behind. Would be cool to see the top level series have 20 dedicated teams with 8 regional teams joining them wherever they race.

They might listen to you JD!!! How don’t they prep track for racers instead of their “routine track prep”?

Well, park your car.

I'm with jd. Don't like the racing at Knoxville

I don't know what this Derek dude is snorting, but it must be expensive.

Good stuff. Not believing anyone can go out and buy EXACT same ride that J.D., Pierce, Thornton, Oneal, or young money pilot. Nope. It’s completely obvious they have something the hundreds that they keep blowing out don’t have.

Big EPJ fan JD is down to earth as they get Good luck tonight and be safe

Knoxville is a sprint car track

Understandable…he’s been struggling. Crazy how fast technology changes on these cars.

The BMF of Late-models ...

So excellent to hear these winners open up. Please do more.

You look at Hudson and Bobby, and a few other guys, running hard and banging the cushion every lap, the racing is different with those guys. These dudes drive with it hung out every damn lap.

Davenport is a good dude. A top Super Late Model Driver. I like how he keeps his car straight. You don't see him running all side and 💩. Like his style and attitude. He as a great family, and ranch. Has racing knowledge that is over the top. Definitely one of my favorites.

Ranch a good feel of what this dude is to outsiders. Strong family with JD being away all the time!!! This dude one of my favorites and crown his drink of choice!!

I love this dude!!!!! Face of dirt track racing no disrespect to any other driver. Many faces of dirt track racing but this dude does tell it like he feels!!!

JD still holds the track record at East Alabama Motor Speedway

Hell of a guy, meet him at Batesville. Awesome to watch him race and very humble!

Whoa I've never seen busch light in a bottle they're all in cans where I'm at.

Last time I saw legs like those they were pulling a plow. 😅

Is he from Anderson sc

Keep making these!

The best dirt racing ever been. When Nascar runs Bristol in dirt outlaws with both Nascar and Dirt drivers competing for Nascar positions and Nascar money

Gotta love Davenport

Politically correct has ran aground see the stagnation

So,they’re might be some truth to the internet rumor he’s #49 cuz he’ll retire at 49.

Looking back did the Device constitue the engineering time. With Fox Air Shocks it would be day and night ahead of bilstein

Uncle Joe was gonna come get half of it 😂

He reminds me of an old boss I had back in the day. All the patients in the world until he's stuck doing his job. Haha jk JD just go win the nationals and quit bitchin

Ask I bet I can 20-30 teams before running out. Authentic from dealers cherrypicking

$500 or less can buy coins silver or gold. After flip $30k-50k some worth more. When you wanna sell I'll buy you out.

Selective races the big events. Just to get away so she doesn't put ya to work. 😂

How much was it leveraging ratio of the shock

1 race the payout schedule is even between dirt and cup

Build

How about doing a "One Lap, One LORD," where you talk about racing and how much JESUS blesses them. 😀

😂

Farming is getting busy. Live next to the elevator

Him and McCreadie cry so much it’s ridiculous. They can win and still cry about something.
