Dennis Erb, Jr. to Unveil Paint
Scheme Paying Homage to his Father at DTWC
(October 17, 2017)
The Dennis Erb Racing team will close out the 2017 edition of
the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule on October 20-21
with the 37th Annual 'Dirt Track World Championship' at Portsmouth
Raceway Park in Portsmouth, Ohio. Two rounds of qualifying heat
races will kick things off at PRP on Friday, while consolation
events, the $3,000 to win 'Jim Dunn Memorial Non-Qualifiers
Race,' and the 100-lap DTWC are all slated for Saturday. The
series finale will once again draw the best Super Late Model
drivers in the country to the southern Ohio facility - located
on the banks of the Ohio River - to vie for the whopping $100,000
top prize.
Dennis Erb, Jr. comes into the crown jewel spectacular eighth
in the latest version of the LOLMDS point standings. Special
for this year's version of the 'Dirt Track World Championship'
will be throwback paint schemes. Dennis will unveil a scheme
matching and paying homage to one of his dad's last racecars
complete with #26 on the doors. Additional information on the
biggie at Portsmouth this weekend can be obtained by clicking

On October 13-14, the #28 team was in the pit area at the pristine
Dirt Oval at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois, as the World
of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series sanctioned the two-day
'Chi-Town Showdown.' In Friday night's $10,000 to win weekend
opener, Dennis clicked off the eleventh fastest lap overall
during time trials before placing second in his loaded heat
race.
After drawing the outside of the front row for the start of
the 50-lap headliner, Dennis unfortunately suffered handling
issues on his Black Diamond mount and eventually retired due
to those problems in the twenty-fourth position. The 'Chi-Town
Showdown' finale on Saturday evening, which was scheduled to
boast another $10,000 winner's share, was washed out early in
the day due to inclement weather and will not be rescheduled.
