Jonathan Davenport proved untouchable Saturday night in West Virginia, besting Brandon Overton on the race’s initial start and never again facing a challenge in scoring a $50,000 victory in the Historic 100, his fourth win at the 0.625-mile speed plant since the track re-opened a year ago.

While Davenport’s undefeated streak at the track was snapped on Friday night by Devin Moran (Davenport still finished second), the No. 49 team was in dominant form all weekend, winning heat races both nights of competition in a field that saw four of the top-five currently ranked late model drivers in the nation competing.
Saturday night did more to close the points atop the Lucas Oil standings, with points leader Brandon Sheppard proving a complete non-factor in finishing 14th while both Tim McCreadie and Tyler Erb scored top-10 finishes on the night.
Success Stories
Yes, Davenport is no longer undefeated at the new West Virginia Motor Speedway, but winning two heat races and scoring an average finish of 1.5 across the two features of the Historic 100 weekend is about as dominant as it gets. Plus, the No. 49 team will be carrying major big-track momentum heading towards the Eldora Million.
Devin Moran had a disappointing Saturday, but his win in Friday’s Historic 100 preliminary feature made him the first driver in the country to best Davenport on the WVMS oval.
Picked up the win tonight at @visitwvms!!! #workhardplayhard
