Davenport Rumors

[zyoung25]

Davenport is in the right car. If he leaves the 6? It's a mistake

I don't think it's him leaving the 6, it's the 6 leaving racing all together.

[Centeroff]

Old man Rumley told me at Portsmouth that Kevin was disgusted with the way the 6 is running right now. Said he thinks they have made so many changes that they don't really know where they are at. They will build a new car this winter and show up to speed weeks loaded for bear.

He didn't get the name superman last year. Folks in the south have known plenty about the guy for many years.

Speaking of organ grinders I found this video of our recently departed O-- F-- working his new gig outside the gates at Black Sunshine Speedway...

He had superman schemed car 4 or 5 years ago at cedar lake, probably one the best looking cars to ever hit the track IMO. Before that when he drove for Hamrick he had the superman emblem in the number.

If I heard the story right, back when he first started racing, he had a flat or got sent to the tail for something. He came back and won the race, whoever the announcer was at the track called him superman and has stuck with him ever since. The name wasn't just made up last year by any means.

Where did he get the nick name Superman ......

Probably like most nicknames, he gave it to himself.

Most nicknames come from an anouncer. Not themselves

99% of the late model drivers out there would of loved to have the season he had this year. That followed a season that 100% would of loved to have. Stop being a hater

Eshelman came up with a bunch of them. I remember being at a race and Eshelman was even coming up with nicknames for the support division drivers.

IMO he's the best in the biz, just for that reason. He's always got some good one liners too.

I'm a big fan, too. I dig his laid back style.

I believe that the credit goes to Steve Hixson for the Superman moniker. I remember hearing that Steve was calling him the Blairsville Assassin or something like that at Cleveland Speedway and that someone told Steve that JD's mother or grandmother didn't like that nickname so Superman came about. I remember the silver 49 Rayburn back in 06 I think had a Superman "S" in his number.

Yeah thanks goes out to Big Steve. I always liked the Blairsville Assassin moniker myself.
