Story By: RYAN DELPH / DENNIS ERB RACING – CARPENTERSVILLE, IL – A busy week took the #28 team to the states of West Virginia and Ohio from September 27-30 for a trio of high-profile special events. Things kicked off last week in the Mountaineer State on Wednesday night with a Castrol FloRacing Night in America Series showdown at Tyler County Speedway.
With a $23,023 paycheck up for grabs at the Middlebourne, West Virginia bullring, Dennis Erb, Jr. grabbed the third transfer spot through his stacked heat race before winding up ninth in the final rundown of the 50-lap feature event.
The dirt-slinging action then quickly turned to the Buckeye State for a pair of World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Model Series tilts at Atomic Speedway in Alma, Ohio. Last Friday with a $10,000 winner’s check on the line, Dennis finished fifth in his heat race and second in his B-Main prior to picking off eleven competitors during the 40-lap main event en route to a solid eighth place performance. In the ‘Outlaw Invasion’ finale on Saturday evening, which carried a $15,000 top prize, Dennis ran second in his heat race before vaulting up to fourth in the 50-lapper to trail only victor Bobby Pierce, Chris Madden, and Brian Shirley!
Sitting eighth in the latest World of Outlaws Late Model Series point standings, the Dennis Erb Racing team will follow the national tour to Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Indiana and Fairbury Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois this coming weekend. The 40th edition of the ‘Hoosier Dirt Classic’ will take center stage at Brownstown later tonight, October 6 paying $10,000 to win. At Fairbury on Saturday evening, October 7, the annual running of ‘FALS Frenzy’ will shell out a $15,000 payday.
