4:31 PM Wells needed to find more than a tenth of a second somewhere to have a shot against Santos. Santos gave it to him, way late. Santos was reeling him in all the way, but ran out of race track. Here are Wells' incremental margins: 60ft(0.112), 330ft(0.086), 660ft(0.069), 1,000ft(0.051). MOV: 0.0359 seconds (approximately 14 feet). A clear underdog, Wells ignored the odds, did his thing, and pulled off a huge holeshot upset for a treasured "Wally."
