Erb, Jr. Racks Up Handful of
Recent Top Fives Heading into St. Louis Firecracker Faceoff
(June
20, 2025) It’s been a hectic last ten
days for Dennis Erb Racing and the upcoming schedule for the
Carpentersville, Illinois-based team doesn’t lighten up
anytime soon. Even with a pair of rainouts on the DIRTcar Summer
Nationals trail, Dennis Erb, Jr. has still competed in eight
series events from June 10-19 across the states of Illinois,
Wisconsin, and Iowa. In those eight shows that have escaped
the wrath of Mother Nature, Dennis has racked up five Top Five
efforts with three of those finishes being third place podium
performances. (Todd Healy Photo)
He rounded out the podium in third on June 12 at Peoria (IL)
Speedway behind $5,000 winner Drake Troutman and Ryan Unzicker,
on June 14 at Fairbury (IL) Speedway behind $10,000 victor Brian
Shirley and Jason Feger, and on June 15 at Sycamore (IL) Speedway
behind only $5,000 winner Jason Feger and Brian Shirley. At
the completion of week one points on Sunday at Sycamore, Dennis
was awarded an extra $5,000 for his second place points finish
for the week behind Jason Feger.
Currently, Dennis finds himself second in week two points as
well after finishes of fourth at Wilmot (WI) Raceway on June
16, fifth at Davenport (IA) Speedway on June 17, and fourteenth
last night at Lee County (IA) Speedway. Week two on the “Hell
Tour” concludes on Friday and Saturday, June 20-21 at
Federated Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Missouri and on Sunday,
June 22 at Lincoln Speedway in Lincoln, Illinois.
The pair of races that make up the ‘St. Louis Firecracker
Faceoff’ at Pevely will be co-sanctioned with the World
of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Model Series. Tonight’s
weekend opener shells out a $12,000 payday, while Saturday’s
finale boasts a $20,000 first place prize. Dennis currently
sits ninth in the latest version of the World of Outlaws point
standings heading into Federated Raceway at I-55. You can watch
each night of dirt-slinging action from both Pevely and Lincoln
LIVE on DIRTVision.
