Jonathan Davenport’s three World 100 victories in five seasons (2015-2019) prompted the DirtonDirt staff to look into the best five-year streaks in the history of Dirt Late Model racing’s most prestigious event. The Blairsville, Ga.’s success at Eldora Speedway going back to 2015 is no doubt impressive, but it falls shy of several other race winners.

The race’s best five-year stretch belongs to three-time race winner Jeff Purvis, who racked up three victories and two runner-up finishes from 1982-86 for a stellar average finish of 1.4. Purvis and Jimmy Owens, who had an average finish of 2.8 from 2007-11, are the only two drivers to have a stretch of five consecutive years of top-five finishes that included a victory.

Scott Bloomquist pulled off a stretch of five straight top-five finishes from 1993-97 but without winning. So we also broke down the list of the best five-year stretches when a driver didn’t grab a globe trophy.

Here’s a look at the lists that include drivers with an average finish of 10 or better:
