    Davenport. How is he that good?

    I am not taking anything away from him but you have to ask in this day and age how he is that good everywhere he goes?

    You hear all the drivers talk about how equal the cars are and everyone has the same basic stuff yet one guy is going to have a record 2 million dollar season when nobody else is even close to him.

    A smart guy taking advantage of all the new possibilities to gain an edge within ever more complicated rules, a driver who has really matured and excels on all types of track conditions, a crew that is very prepared when they arrive at the track and all on the same page as far as adjustments during the night.

      All pretty dominant in their day. You must not be as old as I am. Purvis was best I ever seen. Win by 1/2 lap. Just in a different class. It all comes around.

          Remarkable how smooth that car looks in comparison to others on the track. His car just glides over bumps and ripples where others seem to bounce around a bit more. How he picks up the speed off corners with the chassis just staying optimally up on the bars and in that sweet spot for getting the power to the ground. They sure have a total package right now with his driver talent, the team, and that car.
          Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

            If you want the quickest fix, bring back the claimer rule, winning car available as it sits after the win. Lucas, WOO and Eldora, there is your fix.

              This isn't street stock racing. Heck most couldn't get the claimed rule right anyhow that's why it's nowhere that I know of.

                dirtcrazy, I agree, but someone would be willing to buy the 44, 49 or 76 car. The technology would be out of the bag or be in more than a select few drivers. especially the 49 team.

                          Seems like we were having pretty much the same conversation about Overton last year, maybe Sheppard year before that, so on and so forth over the years, drivers get hot...... Secrets get out, crewmen change, rules get made....it is what it is. If they've found something no one else has, legal or illegal, I give them credit....whoever the team/driver is.

                              Maybe that wire that they had to disconnect is why Brandon Sheppard was getting beat so bad on starts and restarts
