Dennis Erb Racing Wraps Up 2020
Season with Top Ten in Magnolia Opener
(November 19, 2020)
Dennis Erb Racing ventured to Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus,
Mississippi on November 13-14 for the annual running of the
'Magnolia State Cotton Pickin 100,' which closed out their 2020
campaign. The unsanctioned doubleheader at "The Mag"
kicked off with a $4,000 to win program on Friday night. Dennis
Erb, Jr. laid down the quickest lap overall in qualifying to
earn Fast Time honors and later ran second in his loaded heat
race. After starting fifth on the grid in the 30-lap sprint,
Dennis ran inside of the top five through most of the contest
before slipping back to seventh at the unfurling of the checkered
flag.
On Saturday evening in the weekend and season finale, a $12,000
top prize was up for grabs for the ground-pounding Super Late
Models. Dennis posted the eleventh quickest lap in Group A during
time trials prior to grabbing the fourth and final transfer
spot through his heat race. In the 70-lapper, the Carpentersville,
Illinois ace had climbed up inside of the top ten before an
incident with another competitor resulted in a bent tie-rod
and a disappointing eighteenth place showing. Full results from
the season-ending 'Magnolia State Cotton Pickin 100' weekend
can be accessed online at www.magnoliadirt.com.
In a crazy 2020 season that started back on January 3 at Vado
(NM) Speedway Park and was shut down in the spring due to coronavirus
(COVID-19) restrictions, Dennis and his #28 team wound up entering
a total of ninety-one (91) events across seventeen (17) different
states. Dennis was able to rack up three (3) feature victories,
twenty-eight (28) Top Five finishes, and fifty-two (52) Top
Ten efforts during the last eleven months of racing action.
He also parlayed a strong year with the World of Outlaws Morton
Buildings Late Model Series to finish fourth in the final version
of the national series point standings.
Dennis picked up a $15,000 top prize for his biggest win of
the year in the Coors Light 'Fall Classic' at Whynot (MS) Motorsports
Park on October 24. He also reached victory lane on the WOOLMS
tour for a $10,000 payday on August 22 at Eriez (PA) Speedway.
His first triumph of the season came during the DIRTcar Summer
Nationals on July 26 when Dennis claimed a $5,000 victory at
Clarksville (TN) Speedway.
In some of the most high-profile races of the 2020 season,
Dennis performed very well on the big stage and in front of
the bright lights and streaming cameras. He finished second
in the $12,000 to win 'Last Call' opener at The Dirt Track (NC)
at Charlotte, fourth in the $50,000 to win 'Intercontinental
Classic' at Eldora (OH) Speedway, fourth in the $30,000 to win
'Firecracker 100' at Lernerville (PA) Speedway, and fourth in
both $20,000 to win 'Independence Day Spectacular' shows at
Cedar Lake (WI) Speedway. You can view results and read race
