Dennis Erb, Jr. Seventh in Slocum
50; Ready for Lucas Oil Series Doubleheader
(April 24, 2019)
Dennis Erb Racing traveled to Davenport Speedway in Davenport,
Iowa and 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa on April 19-20
for a pair of Lucas Oil MLRA Series battles. On Friday night
in a $5,000 to win tilt on the sprawling Davenport 1/2-mile,
Dennis Erb, Jr. moved up to third in his stacked heat race and
later rolled off from the outside of the fourth row in the 30-lap
main event. Dennis then battled hard for a top ten finish in
the weekend lid lifter before settling for an eleventh place
performance.
At West Burlington on Saturday evening in the 11th edition
of the 'Slocum 50,' Dennis clicked off the fifth quickest time
in Group A during qualifying prior to finishing third in heat
race action. The Carpentersville, Illinois ace then vaulted
from his ninth starting position up into the top five in the
$10,555 to win headliner before slipping back to a solid seventh
place showing at the completion of fifty green flag laps. Full
results from the Hawkeye State double-dip can be located by

The #28 team will remain in their home state of Illinois on
April 26-27, as the ultra-competitive Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series will invade the Land of Lincoln to preside over a pair
of full programs - each of which will boast a $12,000 top prize.
The weekend will kick off on Friday night at Tri-City Speedway
in Granite City, Illinois, while a 100-lapper will close out
the doubleheader on Saturday evening at the 1/5-mile Macon Speedway
in Macon, Illinois. More information concerning these races
