    Yes, everyone knew who he was (meaning, the diehards like us). But there’s a lot of fans around the country who knew nothing, or very little, about him. For me, having lived in KY for 40 years and having a connection with the Wells family, and then moving to South Georgia in 2014 and watching the excellence and growth of Brandon Overton, it just seemed like the perfect match. Maybe obvious to some, but for 99% of the rest, not obvious at all. It’s been awesome to watch.

      I knew he was the real deal in 2010, down in GA racing. I figured most folks realized after he took a few spins in that 116.

        Won a Spring Nationals super race end of last month I think at Dixie. Might've had a crate motor in. I dunno. Beat Overton though.

          Overton has indeed come a long way since his running around the Carolina days in the bud car....pretty cool to see.
          Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

            Bad luck is the only thing that will beat Overton. That is the way it looks

                  I'm going to say no. Only because it's so hard to do. Luck has to run out, and you need some.

                    Won't know who won until noon Sunday. Although it could be longer with tire samples. Anyone see if they took samples after Thursday?

                        I don’t think you will either. This way they can conceivably hit every race over 20k on both tours if they so desire.

                          I know i read where overton stated that was a new car but i can not find it to save my life.

                            If i was Wells / Overton, i would take that Car and wash it /clean it, change all the fluids and let it sit in the show room and break it out for the Twin Worlds coming up. Instruct everyone around to not even breathe on it !

                            Its hard to get a car that will steer thru the middle, and still have enough fwd traction off to maintain speed. You seen how Madden got tight after he passed Overton.

                            Just say no...

                              The rubber was starting to build by then. Fergy was just pitching his to turn. Lol

                                I knew he was going to be real good when he came to Tyler county for their Memorial Day woo weekend and he was in the bud 76 car. Was fast all weekend and led a lot of one of features. His first time there with just him and 1 other young crew guy. Bought a t shirt that day.
