I’m doing this for my family and the entire Double L Motorsports family, Superman Jonathan Davenport declared as he agreed to another….
Dirt track racing icon Jonathan “Superman” Davenport has officially confirmed that he will continue his storied partnership with Double L Motorsports, a decision that sent waves of excitement through the dirt racing community. Standing beside his car emblazoned with the familiar red, white, and blue livery, Davenport declared with heartfelt emotion, “I’m doing this for my family and the entire Double L Motorsports family. We’ve built something special together, and I’m not ready to walk away just yet.”
The announcement came during a media event at Eldora Speedway, a track that holds deep significance for Davenport and his fans. The five-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Champion reflected on his journey, from humble beginnings in Blairsville, Georgia, to becoming one of the most dominant figures in modern dirt racing. His decision to re-sign wasn’t just about competition—it was about loyalty, legacy, and love for the sport.
“I’ve had offers, sure,” Davenport admitted with a grin. “But this team, this crew, and these people—they’re more than just a race team. They’re family. When we roll into the pits, we’re representing every late model fan who’s ever turned a wrench or cheered from the stands. That’s what keeps me going.”
Double L Motorsports owner Lance Landers praised Davenport’s leadership both on and off the track, calling him “the heart of this operation.” Landers emphasized that Davenport’s commitment extends far beyond driving—he’s involved in every aspect of preparation, from testing setups to mentoring younger drivers. “Jonathan isn’t just our driver; he’s our standard,” Landers said. “When he straps in, everyone around him wants to be better.”
Davenport’s renewed contract ensures that fans will see him chasing more trophies, including another shot at the Dirt Late Model Dream and the World 100, two of the sport’s most prestigious titles. His remarkable consistency and ability to dominate on various track surfaces have made him a legend among peers. Yet, for all his accolades, Davenport remains grounded.
“My wife, my kids, and my family have sacrificed so much so I can do what I love,” he said. “Every time I fire up that engine, I’m thinking about them. And I’m thinking about the guys back at the shop who pour their hearts into these cars. That’s why this deal matters.”
The 2026 season promises to be one of the most competitive in recent memory, with younger talents emerging to challenge established stars. But Davenport’s decision to stay signals that he still has plenty left to prove. His blend of skill, experience, and passion makes him a formidable force no matter the competition.
As the sun set behind the grandstands at Eldora, Davenport’s words echoed through the pit area—a powerful reminder of what racing truly means. “This isn’t just about winning races,” he said. “It’s about doing it the right way—with family, loyalty, and heart. That’s what Double L Motorsports stands for, and that’s what I stand for.”
For dirt racing fans everywhere, Superman’s return is more than a contract extension—it’s a promise that the spirit of the sport is alive and well.
