Twenty-seven entries filled the pit area at the 1/4 mile oval, and a fourth place finish in his heat race earned Wells the twelfth starting spot for the 50 lap finale.

April 28th, 2013 - After seeing Saturday night's WoO show washed away by rain at Tazewell Speedway Eric Wells made the trip to Duck River Speedway (Wheel, Tennessee) on Sunday evening for a $10,000-to-win event. By the time the final checkered flag of the evening had dropped he had claimed the biggest win of his young career!

Thirty Super Late Models entered the program, and after qualifying ninth fastest Eric finished fourth in his heat race to lock into the twelfth starting spot for the 50 lap finale. During the race's early stages Wells raced in the top ten before working his way into the fourth position late in the event. It appeared that he was on his way to a fourth place finish, before disaster struck for the lead trio with just three laps remaining as leader, Josh Richards, made contact with a lap car. A melee ensued, which collected Richards, Rick Eckert, and Scott James. With the top three involved in an accident Eric inherited the lead and went on to lead the final three laps to claim the win, which came over Darrell Lanigan, Tim McCreadie, Tyler Reddick, and Tim Fuller.

"We had a pretty good car from the drop of the green," said Wells, who earned a career-high paycheck of $10,800. "I don't think I had the car to win if not for the misfortune of (the top three), but sometimes you gotta have luck on your side and tonight we did. I couldn't be any happier to win a World of Outlaws race this early in our first season (as a regular)."

With the win Wells is now sixth in the latest tour standings, and continues to lead the way in the WoO Rookie standings. Full results from the event and complete series' standings are available at www.WoOLMS.com.
