“This is more than just a contract — it’s an opportunity to grow the sport I love,” Davenport said in a brief statement. “I’m excited to bring dirt fans closer to NASCAR and represent where I come from.”
The $345,000 deal is one of the most lucrative crossover agreements for a dirt racing driver in recent memory, and it highlights NASCAR’s renewed effort to connect with grassroots motorsports.
