Dennis Erb Racing Starts 2020 Season on WOOLMS Trail with Pair of Top Ten Runs
(January 8, 2020) Shortly after the start of the New Year, Dennis Erb, Jr. and 41 other competitors made the long trek to Vado Speedway Park in Vado, New Mexico to lift the lid on the 2020 World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series campaign. The inaugural running of the 'Battle at the Border' featured a trio of national series battles from January 3-5, which kicked off with a pair of $5,000 to win contests. On Friday night in "The Land of Enchantment," Dennis started off the weekend by finishing sixth in his loaded heat race and second in his B-Main prior to passing nine competitors during the 30-lap main event en route to a solid tenth place showing. In a similar show on Saturday evening, Dennis placed fifth in his heat race and scored a triumph in his B-Main before advancing up to twelfth in the 30-lapper.

The Carpentersville, Illinois standout then found some additional speed in the 'Battle at the Border' grand finale on Sunday at Vado. After stopping the clock second fastest in Group B during qualifying and running third in his stacked heat race, Dennis rolled off from the outside of the sixth row in the 75-lap headliner. He then turned up the wick on the stout competition and climbed up inside of the top five late in the feature distance, as he gunned for the $15,000 top prize. At the completion of the race, Dennis found himself sixth in the final rundown behind only victor Cade Dillard, Brandon Sheppard, Darrell Lanigan, Scott Bloomquist, and Ricky Weiss.

Following the conclusion of the three-day 'Battle at the Border,' Dennis currently sits eighth in the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series point standings - 44 markers behind leader and defending Champion Brandon Sheppard.
