Story By: RYAN DELPH / DENNIS ERB RACING – CARPENTERSVILLE, IL – With last Saturday’s 40th Annual ‘Hoosier Dirt Classic’ rained out at Brownstown (IN) Speedway, the #28 team competed in only one World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Model Series contest over the July 14-15 weekend.
At Ponderosa Speedway in Junction City, Kentucky on Friday night, a $15,000 top prize was up for grabs in the ‘Johnny Mulligan Classic.’
In front of a huge grandstand crowd, Dennis Erb, Jr. stopped the clock fourth fastest in Group B during the qualifying session prior to grabbing the third transfer spot through his loaded heat race. Dennis then steered past six competitors during the course of the 50-lap main event to leave the Commonwealth of Kentucky with a solid sixth place performance. The Carpentersville, Illinois native still sits ninth in the latest WOOLMS point standings exiting Ponderosa Speedway.
This weekend, the Dennis Erb Racing team has made the long trek to Brandon, South Dakota for the 13th edition of the ‘Silver Dollar Nationals,’ which for the first time is being held at Huset’s Speedway. The action will kick off tonight with a $12,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series contest dubbed as the ‘Go 50.’ Double heat races with passing points will then be held on Friday night leading into Saturday’s 80-lap ‘Silver Dollar Nationals’ headliner, which boasts a whopping $53,000 first place prize.
