Excitement fills Eldora Speedway as Double L Motorsports Superman Jonathan Davenport announces, I’m going Nowhere, after making the bold decision Tony Stewart has promised to make him…
The thunderous roar of engines wasn’t the only thing shaking the stands at Eldora Speedway this past weekend. The crowd erupted in cheers as Jonathan Davenport—famously known as “Superman” in the dirt late model racing world—took to the microphone after another thrilling run. Standing at the center of attention in front of thousands of diehard fans, Davenport delivered the line that instantly became legend: “I’m going nowhere.”
With speculation swirling in recent months about his potential move to a different team or even a different racing discipline, the Double L Motorsports driver made it clear—his heart, his passion, and his future are right where they’ve always belonged: in the dirt, and with his team.
The announcement came just after a dominating performance at Eldora, where Davenport reaffirmed why he holds legendary status. Tony Stewart, owner of Eldora Speedway and a long-time supporter of dirt racing, had reportedly been instrumental in encouraging Davenport to stay rooted in his current path. According to sources close to the team, Stewart had made Davenport a promise—one that ultimately tipped the scales.
“Tony told me he’s going to make sure I have everything I need to keep chasing greatness from right here,” Davenport said, smiling amid chants from the crowd. “When a guy like that believes in you, you listen.”
Tony Stewart’s influence in the racing world is massive. A champion across NASCAR, IndyCar, and sprint cars, Stewart’s deep respect for grassroots racing runs through everything he does at Eldora. Insiders say that behind the scenes, Stewart has been working on a broader plan to revitalize interest in late model dirt racing, and keeping superstars like Davenport at the forefront is a key part of that vision.
“Jonathan’s not just a driver,” Stewart told reporters following the event. “He’s a symbol of what makes this sport great—grit, talent, and a connection to the fans that you just can’t fake. I told him: You belong here, and I’ll do what it takes to prove that to you.”
Fans at Eldora were clearly on board. Many had come to the event hoping for clarity about Davenport’s future, and they got far more than that. They got a promise. And not just any promise, but a public reaffirmation that one of dirt racing’s brightest stars would continue to shine on the clay tracks that made him famous.
For Double L Motorsports, the announcement is more than a morale boost. It’s a statement of stability and a rallying cry as they gear up for a demanding season ahead. With Davenport locked in and energized, the team now looks to dominate on all fronts.
As the night wound down and fireworks lit the sky over Eldora, one thing was clear: Superman isn’t flying off to new ventures—he’s digging in, right where he belongs. The dirt world can breathe a sigh of relief. Jonathan Davenport is going nowhere—and that’s exactly how fans want it.
