Story By: RYAN DELPH / DENNIS ERB RACING – CARPENTERSVILLE, IL – The Dennis Erb Racing team trekked to Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wisconsin from May 4-6 for the running of the ‘Dairyland Showdown,’ which was sanctioned by the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Model Series.
In his spilt-field, $5,000 to win preliminary program on Thursday night, Dennis Erb, Jr. stopped the clock fifth quickest in his group during qualifying, which earned him the inside of the third row for the start of his 25-lap feature event. Dennis was then able to move up one spot during the contest to land in the fourth finishing position behind only race winner Cade Dillard, Bobby Pierce, and Nick Hoffman!
Following the opener, inclement weather unfortunately set in at the Badger State facility and the remainder of the three-day weekend was washed out. Friday’s pair of $5,000 to win prelim shows, along with the grand finale that was slated to boast a $50,000 paycheck on Saturday, will not be rescheduled. Dennis still finds himself ninth in the latest version of the national series point standings.
The #28 team will now turn their focus to one of the biggest weeks of the year in their home state of Illinois. Four high-profile events – dubbed as “Illinois Speedweek” – will take place in the Land of Lincoln from May 10-13. Up first are a pair of $23,023 to win Castrol FloRacing Night in America Series showdowns starting tonight at Spoon River Speedway in Banner, Illinois and on Thursday at Lincoln Speedway in Lincoln, Illinois. Dennis is the defending winner of the Lincoln show and will try to make it two wins in a row tomorrow evening.
