Revival Dirt Late Model Series
Justin Wells Wins Thriller with Revival Dirt Late Model Series at Tri-State Speedway
Pocola, OK. (6/8/24) Continuing the series with the intense on-track action of Tri-State Speedway, the Revival Dirt Late Model Series presented by Start2Finish TV would witness Justin Wells leading twenty-three of the thirty green flag laps on the way to claiming his first feature series victory in thrilling action.
Starting the second series night in Pocola Oklahoma would see Joseph Gorby set the quick qualifying time of 16.066-seconds with Jace Parmley and Brett Hansen each earning heat race qualifier victories with Joseph Gorby attaining the high-point qualifier award by way of winning the pole shuffle dash.
Flying into feature green flag racing would find second-starter Justin Wells out-duel Gorby out of the first pair of corners as Wells would shoot to the preferred position with the field calculating for spots behind the leader.
Captivating the capacity crowd, Justin Wells would appear to be the cream of the racing crop early as night one winner Jon Kirby began to reel in the leader by using a wall-rubbing high side and eventually overtaking for the top spot but only for a small timeframe as contact with the outside wall would strike the leader of six laps Wells from the feature event.
Holding steady back out front, Justin Well would then hold off the fast efforts of single-lap leader Brett Hanson while the laps began to wane with outstanding action throughout the field sometimes going three-to-four wide for top-ten positions.
Earning his first career victory in the Revival Dirt Late Model Series, Justin Wells would outrun sixth-starter and runner-up placement Kylan Garner to capture the feature win. Speedy Andy Bryant would clinch third from starting eleventh as Brett Hanson finished fourth with Jacob Magee rounding out the top-five finishers for the Revival Dirt Late Model Series presented by Start2Finish TV feature event at Tri-State Speedway.
