Dirt standout Jonathan Davenport led wire-to-wire to win the SRX Series season finale Thursday night while NASCAR veteran Ryan Newman captured the 2023 series championship.
Davenport, a three-time Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model champion, dominated the main event in Thursday night’s Superstar Racing Experience event at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., but had to hold off repeated challenges for the lead from Clint Bowyer.
“We had a great car; the guys did an excellent job on it from the tore up stuff they had last week. It was just fun. I figured a caution would come late but we were ready for it. This is something I’ll definitely remember for a long time. Hopefully, they’ll invite me back some time”Newman mathematically locked up the 2023 championship with his performance in the heat race then capped off the night with a fourth-place finish in the main event.
Stewart got off to a rough start to the night with a 10th-place finish in the first heat race and ended up seventh in the main event. “Everybody at SRX does such a great job, ESPN and all the people that are involved. The guys slaved six days for six weeks in a row getting everything ready to do what we’re doing, just an honor to be a part of it, to be a champion.”
