SENOIA, Ga. — For the second-straight night Jonathan Davenport emerged victorious in FloRacing Night in America presented by Kubota action at Senoia Raceway with a $30,000 triumph in Saturday’s Peach State Classic Finale.
Meanwhile, Bobby Pierce won the war by rallying to a sixth-place finish to clinch the $75,000 2025 FloRacing Night in America presented by Kubota title.
Davenport led all but the first two circuits of Saturday’s season finale at the Georgia oval. Fellow-front-row starter Mike Marlar led the opening laps from the pole, but second-starting Davenport powered past for the lead on the third circuit.
Consistent cautions throughout the feature repeatedly erased Davenport’s lead, but the Blairsville, Ga. driver was unfaltered throughout the finale ultimately winning by 4.266 seconds over 16th-starting Ryan Gustin with eighth-starting Hudson O’Neal completing the podium.
“I guess we came up a little short in our bid for the title tonight, but man my guys gave me a great race car all weekend,” said Davenport in Victory Lane after completing the $50,000 weekend sweep at the Georgia oval, but finishing six points behind Bobby Pierce for the championship. “I also can’t say enough about how cool this place is. I didn’t always love Senoia (Raceway) back in the day but the Pollards have really got this place racy. You can run absolutely all over it. It’s cool to be able to run for this much money this late in the year on a track that is so racy. Thanks to everyone who made this weekend possible.”
While Davenport brought his weekend take to $70,000 with his $20,000 check for second in the points, it was Bobby Pierce who overcame adversity to snare the 2025 series title. Pierce rallied from 19th to as high as the third position before a flat tire forced him pitside lap 54.
Pierce rejoined the tail of the field and rebounded to finish sixth, which clinched him his second series title and first since 2023.
“This has been probably the most stressful weekend of my career. We struggled here last year and let the championship get away when Ricky (Thornton Jr.) swept the weekend, so heading into this weekend I kinda assumed (Jonathan) Davenport would win both nights, so we’d have our work cut out for us. Sure enough JD (Jonathan Davenport) won both nights, but may my crew worked their butts off weekend with wholesale changes every time we came off the track” Pierce shared. “Somehow, someway we got it done though, and I thank them enough along with every single sponsor on this car for all they do.”
