BELLEVILLE, Ill. — Jonathan Davenport padded his extensive bank account with a $20,000 XR Super Series late model triumph Monday night at the Belleville High Banks.
Davenport started on the pole and won the event that was cut to 20 laps because of the extreme heat and concerns about its impact on the cars’ engines at the high-banked, half-mile track.
Series point leader Chris Madden came home second, with Chase Junghans, Kyle Strickler and Chris Ferguson rounding out the top five.
The series returns to Belleville on Tuesday with $40,000 earmarked for the winner.
Davenport was the fast qualifier with a lap of 16.308 seconds for the 21-car field.
The finish:
Jonathan Davenport, Chris Madden, Chase Junghans, Kyle Strickler, Chris Ferguson, Jimmy Owens, Scott Bloomquist, Shane Clanton, Hayden Ross, Tad Pospisill, Al Humphrey, Andrew Kosiski, Dusty Leonard, Joe Gorby, Blair Nothdurft, Charlie McKenna, TeeJay Janousek, Dan Smith, Delbert Smith.
