    He doesn't run against the house car on a regular basis. What the 1 does on the WoO tour has no bearing on what the 6 does on the Lucas tour. Sure, Sheppard is more or less Rocket's Lucas house car, but Davenport had a better year than him.

    For all the talk about how Davenport had a "terrible" 2016, dude finished second in Lucas points and still won a pile of races. That's still a fantastic year by most standards. I mean, the only guys with more national touring wins than him are Josh Richards and Scott Bloomquist.

          JD is a wheel man. He will be fine. Last year one feature he drove the best race I ever seen him drive. Straight as an arrow and drove the car soooo smooth and with the throttle. Don't count him out just yet. He will be better the last feature than tonight. I hate to admit it but I spent a little time hanging out and talking to JD at Pittsburgh and Portsmouth and I'm a closet JD fan lol

Davenport was knocking off 10-20k to win, 100 lappers in the Barry Wright house car before joining the black hole that is CBR.
            Finally someone who speaks my language and has a clue.
            Kudo's to you, Mate!

            Amen, the devil went down to Georgia and Casey Roberts tatoo'd his melon and sent him back to WV with a new outlook.

                I think they were trying to be like Rodeo/PBR with the whole World Finals thing, the only problem is in both of those you have earn your way in by being the top whatever in money earned/points, not just show up.
                Only in racing does a person knowingly put on a dud show, and then blames everyone else for not appreciating their dud show.

                  The "Original" Hav A Tampa shootout was like that to start, you had to finish so well in prior series events to be eligible to run and then they allowed in the first 5 teams at the gate on race night. Back then I was helping on Leon Sells car and I sat outside the gate with his car from early in the morning till they opened. Jody Summerville was parked outside with us and he left to go eat or something and asked me to watch all the cars. Well some fans showed up from Mississippi I believe it was and they wanted a picture of his car and had me pose with it so they could say I was the driver or something. Good Times.

                          Same thing with the DTWC. It's not multiple drivers around the world racing against each other to be the sole World Champion. That's why I don't get like in the NBA for example they say World Champions. They didn't beat China, France, Canada etc during a title run.
                          Same thing can be said about the "World" 100.

                            World Finals, World 100, World Finals... call it anything you want. It's just a name and garners publicity. What if they called it the "Mecklenburg County Finals" bet that would light up this board....

                                Why would Kevin be at TWF advising TMac if theyre retiring?
