Dennis Erb, Jr. Emerges from
Florida Fifth in Outlaws Points; Clarksville Up Next!
(February
16, 2021) Dennis Erb Racing recently wrapped
up their "Speedweeks 2021" journey, which saw them
enter sixteen high-profile shows at four different facilities
in the Sunshine State from January 14-February 13. Against high
car counts and stout fields each night, Dennis Erb, Jr. was
able to rack up a trio of top ten finishes during his stint
in Florida. Fortunately for Dennis, who is running full-time
once again with the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model
Series in 2021, each of those top ten runs took place in series
events at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida. Dennis
emerged from "Speedweeks" fifth in the latest version
of the WOOLMS point standings - only 78 markers behind leader
Kyle Strickler. (Michael

His best effort so far in 2021 came last Thursday, February
11 in a $10,000 to win World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late
Model Series shootout at Volusia Speedway Park that was finished
in the wee hours of the morning following a rain delay. Dennis
qualified fourteenth fastest in Group B during the time trial
session before placing fourth in his heat race. After picking
up a victory in his B-Main, Dennis steered past sixteen competitors
during the 40-lapper to land an impressive fifth place performance
behind only race winner Devin Moran, Bobby Pierce, Dale McDowell,
and Kyle Strickler!
The other top ten showings for the Carpentersville, Illinois
driver at Volusia took place in the 'Sunshine Nationals' opener
back on January 14 and in round five of the 'DIRTcar Nationals'
on Friday, February 12. Dennis rolled off from the outside of
fifth row in his 40-lap season lid lifter before methodically
working his way forward and eventually placing sixth at the
checkers behind only $10,000 victor Kyle Bronson, Cade Dillard,
Kyle Strickler, Rick Eckert, and David Breazeale. At VSP last
Friday evening, Dennis started the 40-lap, $10,000 to win headliner
from the outside of the fifth row and battled hard for a top
five spot before settling in the seventh finishing position.

The #28 team is scheduled to take the upcoming February 19-20
weekend off from racing action, but will jump right back into
competition on February 26-27 in the Volunteer State. Dennis
will make a visit to Clarksville Speedway in Clarksville, Tennessee
next weekend to compete in the annual running of the 'Tuckasee
Toilet Bowl Classic.' The DIRTcar Super Late Models will do
battle at Clarksville on Friday night for a $3,000 paycheck,
while a $5,000 top prize will be on the line on Saturday evening.
Dennis is a multiple-time winner in the early-season special
and will be looking to add another unique toilet bowl trophy
to his collection! Additional information can be found online
