Story By: RYAN DELPH / DENNIS ERB RACING – CARPENTERSVILLE, IL – The World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Model Series schedule heated back up from June 20-22 in a trio of events in the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana.
On Thursday night in the $10,000 to win weekend opener at Thunderhill Raceway Park in Summertown, Tennessee, Dennis Erb, Jr. knocked down the twelfth quickest lap during qualifying before running fourth in his loaded heat race.
