Dennis Erb, Jr. Set to Invade
Wilmot & LaSalle After Topless 100 Postponement
(August 16, 2018) Dennis
Erb, Jr. returned to the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series scene
from August 8-11 in a lucrative four-day stretch at the venerable
Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky. In Wednesday's $12,000
to win 'Ralph Latham Memorial,' Dennis qualified well and ran
second in his heat race prior to winding up thirteenth in the
rain-shortened 50-lap main event, which was contested on a very
rough racing surface. At Florence on Thursday night in the 'North/South
Shootout,' which paid $10,000 to the winner, Dennis utilized
a series provisional to gain access into the 50-lap contest
and later placed twenty-first in the caution-free affair.
On Friday evening at the Cincinnati-area speedplant, a double
set of heat races with combined passing points were held to
set the lineups for Saturday's $50,000 to win 'North/South 100.'
Dennis ran seventh in his first heat race of the night, while
he finished fifth in his final prelim. Following a third place
effort in his B-Main on Saturday, Dennis was forced to take
an emergency provisional and rolled off twenty-sixth on the
starting grid in the 100-lap crown jewel main event. The Carpentersville,
Illinois hotshoe was then able to pick off eleven competitors
during the 'North/South 100' to salvage a fifteenth place performance.
Complete results from the long week at Florence Speedway can
be viewed online at www.lucasdirt.com.
With the annual 'Topless 100' at Batesville (AR) Motor Speedway
already canceled due to inclement weather this weekend, Dennis
will take advantage of the opportunity to race much closer to
home on August 17-18. He will enter a pair of American Ethanol
Late Model Tour throwdowns at Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wisconsin
and LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Illinois. Both single day shows
will boast a $4,000 payday. More information on the doubleheader
weekend can be obtained by logging onto www.aelmt.com.
