LANCASTER, S.C. — With the national touring stars of the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series in his own backyard this weekend, Brandon Overton stepped up and continued to show the nation why he’s in contention for driver of the year. Overton was the second fastest qualifier, won his heat and started third for the feature. Immediately going to second on the start, Overton bided his time aboard the Wells Motorsports No. 76 before striking to take the lead from Johnny Pursley on lap 12. Continuing his magical campaign, Saturday’s score gives Overton 11 career World of Outlaws Late Model wins with the last four victories all coming consecutively over the past month. “I like big tracks, but when it gets dirty like that, we start to struggle. It took me 5-10 laps to get going and that cost us too much.
