In a statement that has sent shockwaves through the world of dirt track racing, three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion Jonathan Davenport has confirmed the high likelihood of his return to the national tour for the 2025 season. Following an impressive performance during the season-opening weekend at Golden Isles Speedway near Brunswick, Georgia, Davenport stated that he is “90 percent sure” he’ll continue competing in the prestigious series after a standout start to the year. However, the driver also revealed there is one important condition that could affect his decision.
Davenport, who has built a reputation as one of the most dominant forces in dirt late model racing, started the 2025 season strong with a series of remarkable finishes during the Golden Isles Speedway event. The Georgia track, known for its high-speed action and competitive field, proved to be the perfect venue for Davenport to showcase his skills and send a clear message to his rivals about his intentions for the upcoming season.
“Golden Isles was a great way to kick off the year,” Davenport said in a recent interview. “The car felt incredible, and the team worked hard all weekend to make sure we were in contention for every race. We were fast right out of the gate, and that really helped build the confidence I needed to make this decision.”
Davenport’s stellar weekend performance in Georgia has undoubtedly fueled his optimism about returning to the national tour in 2025. After securing multiple top finishes and showcasing his signature driving style, the seasoned veteran appears ready to chase another championship in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. However, Davenport made it clear that while he is nearly certain about rejoining the national tour, there is still one major condition that must be met before he fully commits.
“I’m 90 percent sure I’ll be back for 2025, but I have to be honest, it all depends on the continued support from my team and the sponsors,” Davenport explained. “The plan is to run the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series again, but we want to make sure we have everything in place to compete at the highest level. It’s a team effort, and if everything aligns, we’ll definitely be there.”
Davenport’s relationship with his team and sponsors has been a critical factor in his sustained success over the years. As a three-time series champion, his ability to maintain a competitive edge on the national stage is partly due to his strong partnerships with key sponsors and a dedicated crew that ensures his car is ready for each race. Should everything come together, Davenport’s return would be a massive boost to the series and the sport as a whole.
Fans and analysts are eagerly awaiting his decision, as Davenport is widely regarded as one of the most talented and accomplished drivers in late model racing history. His potential return would mark another chapter in his already legendary career and offer fans the chance to see one of the sport’s brightest stars chase another championship.
As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Davenport, who is expected to continue making waves in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series if the conditions are right. With his championship pedigree and unmatched skill, there’s no doubt that if he returns, Davenport will be a major contender for the title once again.
For now, racing fans can only wait and see whether the stars align for the three-time champion to return to the national tour for what promises to be another thrilling season of dirt racing action.
