What won the race: Ending a long absence from victory lane, Eric Wells of Hazard, Ky., overtook Brian Smith for the lead on lap 19 and went to capture Tuesday night's wild, caution-filled 40-lap feature co-sanctioned by the Schaeffer's Southern Nationals Bonus Series and Iron-Man Series at Tazewell Speedway. He crossed the finish line 3.057 seconds ahead of Smith, who led three laps after the demise of early leader Dakotah Knuckles.

Quotable: "I told my guys before we went out, I was going to try to maintain for about 20 (laps), then give it what I had for the last 20," winner Eric Wells said. "Because last time we was here, we got the lead and I overworked my tires and we ended up fifth. We made notes and learned from it."
