Davenport becoming a part-time driver under BWRC

[#FALSuperman]

Something is way off, no doubt. He has cancelled numerous races on his schedule. Money running dry with BW? JD lists Fairbury as his favorite track and he cancels? Then he cancels the race he is the defending champ at (Silver Dollar Nationals). Davenport is kind of just another guy these days. Large fan base...however, how can the fans continue to support a driver who is starting to cancel big money shows on a regular basis? Only 8 venues in 3 months (June, July, August). This is assuming he doesn't cancel the North/South and Batesville in August.

[Highside Hustler25]

As a fan, one must accept the good with the bad. The highs and the lows. If one quits being a fan because of disappointing results, then one is really not much of a fan to begin with.

[weatherman85]

^^^^^True statement. Hard to blame the driver if the car owner is the one behind the cancellations as well. I'm thinking he would love to race as much as possible but the higher powers are saying no.

[nuff said]

Definitely surprised he wasn't at Tri County. It's his home track.It was only $3500.00 to win and I'm sure having the trouble at Wythe was a factor.

[President Clinton]

I doubt Barry runs dry of money! He might not spend it,but he ain't ran out of it.

[Escobar]

I'd look for him to start driving for Donald Bradsher if the BWRC stuff doesn't work out.

You mean, if the BWRC stuff keeps not working out?

Will you kindly change you screen name? You are like the opposite of a PR man. Your words have consequences, they effect things. Lets say JD is looking for more sponsorship, but they read your posts about him being washed up and a mid-pack no-show, do you think its helping him? Try being an "ACTUAL" fan and support him or move on. Bunch of spoiled millennial, keyboard jockeys is all that's on 4m anymore.

Are you saying no one including potential sponsors should know that super pooper is canceling races?

[Pennsboro23]

Not having another single southern nationals race on his schedule is what's concerning.

[ShawnStreet]

Having worked year in PR I can guarantee you that potential sponsors will spend a lot more time looking at actual performance or lack thereof than they would at a fan message board.

[zach51]

I like JD. I was actually blown away earlier in the year when I got on to check out the new website and they had every bit of merchandise from dog collars to shot glasses ready to go.......maybe some of that will be on clearance @ Charlotte.

[#FALSuperman]

My question is how can you root for a guy who doesn't race?? I'm going to the PDC...so, I should wear a JD shirt? No, I'm goimg to support someone who shows up. This wasnt a "mechanical" decision. He has over 2 full weeks to prepare the car for his "favorite race track"

[zach51]

I heard he is going to drive McCreadie's backup Longhorn....

Somewhere between 0% and 1%. LOL......it does sound like a feasible plan though right??

I look for this too!

Bunch of spoiled millennial, keyboard jockeys is all that's on 4m anymore.I know you're on like your third screen name, but what has consequences is running like sh!t. They've run like crap and broke, or been running not too bad and broke. That matters way more than guy stating what is on his website, which is public, and anyone can see. Sponsors are the least of his worries. Finding speed, and dependability are what he needs. I like JD, so make of it what you will.

Love how everything has to go back to millennials, which I'm not. The stereotypes just don't cut it, every generation has people we perceive in a negative way. Age has nothing to do with it. Go around a group of people, ignorance and selfishness is not age discriminatory.

[IZZOJR16]

very disappointed. it's like JD has fallen off the map. most fun driver to watch and was a breath of fresh air. hope he's back on top soon, somewhere/some how.

[SFrancisFan15]

He's made more money in fishing tournaments this year. He should of went with Weaver

I don't believe that. Most I would believe are low to mid 30s and older. That's not millennial

[#FALSuperman]

I'm definitely not a Millennial...I'm in the mid 30's and older range. I also have a brother in law who is one of the biggest known names in the dirt track racing world. I get good info that is always solid. Like what I say or not, things are NOT going well for BWRC. Facts....doesn't mean I don't like or wish JD anything other than success. I just have my valid concerns about his choice to go back where it started. When they start cancelling places like The Mag, Lernerville, Silver Dollar Nationals, and PDC the writing is on the wall. Davenport could do himself some good and try to stay connected with his fans by being more open about what is going on, instead of answering his supporters with one word responses ("NO").

[President Clinton]

My uncles aunts cousins nephew on my moms side is in the know!!!! Says BW is bringing Bloomer back to help with car building and set up. JD will pilot them and Cornett will supply engines. Bobby Pierce will design shirts and Goodyear will be the main sponsor. You heard it all here on 4m first!!!

All them stereotypes are trash. I see it with my own eyes, all the dam time. Last two I seen flying through the crosswalk in a parking lot were 60+ ladies.

The guy said someone in their low 30s is not a millenial. I'm just pointing out the age range of millenials, with no comment on their behavior.

Making money fishing doesn't sound so bad........

[latemodelfan]

I agree with a lot of these posts...JD is a heck of a driver...I hope he and Barry can get on the "Wright" page.

[Pennsboro23]

Barely Wright

Sure doesn't and a lot cheaper as well.

It's not the end of the World if he and Barry decide to skip Fairbury people....

@FALSdude
Millennials are 17-37 years of age(today).
http://www.goldmansachs.com/our-thinking/pages/millennials/

I think it would surprise, maybe even shock most so called fans that in the dirt late model economy that these guys don't wake up and think, "What can I do for my fans today?". Decisions on racing don't revolve around how it will effect the fans "feelings" or their "opinion", its based almost solely on money and where they think they stand the best chance of making more of it. Now sure the fans are appreciated for their "support", but if the bank account says we need to stay home or we need to regroup, then you don't go. Most racers are not independently wealthy and able to just take off to anywhere with no thought to co$t.

This season I'm sure, has not gone exactly according to plan(which is obvious). The main sponsor pulled out, which hurts. The new car they were developing took some time to get dialed in, but anyone with an IQ above 75 can see they now have speed that they were searching for. The last few races were exceptional outings that regrettably ended badly. Without those wins, the other poor finishes and the prolonged development work, I imagine that the kitty is low. Now I don't know their actual financial situation, I'm just speculating with the info available and my own experience. What the fans want does not fit into the equation, they're fickle anyway, they leave with the change in wind direction. As to what shirt to wear, that's up to you, but I wear the shirt I'm most proud of, not the one who I think might or might not be there. Many, many times I wore my Billy Moyer shirts knowing he wasn't gonna be anywhere close to where I was racing.

Why even try with that babbler jack weed lol? Litey is lost beyond found :D

[dirtcrazy4u]

I'm sitting here watching the show me 100 on MavTV tv right now. JD has gone from starting last, 30th, up to 7th place in under 50 laps. It would seem to me that they have a good handle on what they are doing. Maybe there cutting front clips off or changing up rear suspension pick ups. The experts I'm sure have all that knowledge. Maybe there testing, progress has to be moving in the right direction or JD wouldn't be sitting at home. He's a racer and I'm sure he wants to be on track.
