think that would be the same way if I
didn't move down here."
Although Wells was committed to rac-
ing flat track, moving away from home is
never easy. But it was easier moving to
Michigan.
"Last year I moved to Wisconsin
when I did my race program on my own
because I needed to work to make money to do it,"
he explained. "I happened to move in with a race
family that knew I was going to have to take week-
ends off, obviously. But I didn't meet any-
body, and I didn't have any friends there,
so that was really difficult. I was always
kind of trying to find an excuse to go back
home, but this year I've been home, I think
twice, only for a couple days at a time,
just because I'm fine here. I've got good
people. I'm never bored. If I'm not doing
something, people are making me do something.
I miss my family obviously. I'll never not miss those
guys, but I don't really miss being home at all."
Going into 2016
Wells had never won
a mile. This year he
won three out of
five, including both
Springfield Miles.
