      If he was so bad Saturday, then please explain how he made the DREAM A-Main from a b-main that was filled with good drivers including Henry, Babc0ck, Pierce, McIntosh, Shirley, ect...

        Davenport is at best an average driver always has been then insert Rumleys who set the car up did the maintenance big strong motors and you have an average guy with great equipment winning races but they didn't like rebuilding the car after every race as Davenport is hard on the right side of the car if you get my drift Rumleys would rather stay home and enjoy than rebuilding someones high speed demo derby.Thats fact By the way those of you that jumped on the Superman band
        wagon 2 years ago and bought your swag lol its now selling 3 for 20 dollars on the clearance rack lolol

          If that's a fact, why aren't the Rumleys running their car this year with someone else in it? JD is far from an average driver. Will he ever live up to the season he had two years ago? The simple answer is no. He set the bar so high that the expectations he has now are unreachable. There's no denying that he's struggling this year, but it has more to do with the equipment he is in than his driving skill. He won a fair amount of races in the 116 last year.

              Wrong I had a brief conversation at Atomic last season at the Buckeye nationals and both Rumleys were not happy with the fact they had to rebuild the car after every race one made the comment patients I heard that with my own ears so whatever you think

                    When you quit winning, things are not as rosy.

                        He was in a car that made the feature instead of being expert keyboard jockey like all the 4m experts. This site used to be great for information and to share racing stories. Now it's just a bunch of (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)s that want to run every driver down and bitch about everything to do with the sport maybe some of YOU experts should put a team together and get out of the stands and off the keyboard and show everyone how great of a driver you are.....

                          First time I every say this on this board, you are dumb ass (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word). Jd is no where average driver dont win agaist any national or regional drivers. Average drive is your local track driver that cant wheel (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word).

                            DJ has struggled this year sure, but he is in a totally different chassis and engine combination with a new team. Sometimes it just takes time to make the right adjustments to become competitive at a high level again. Also, JD was winning races around the south long before he was with rumley, so I know he has the talent to get the job done.
