Dennis Erb, Jr. Invades Hawkeye
State Following Illini 100 Weekend
(April
17, 2025) The Dennis Erb Racing team made the
trek to Farmer City Raceway in Farmer City, Illinois on April
11-12, as the World of Outlaws Late Model Series sanctioned
the annual running of the 'Illini 100.' With a $12,000 top prize
up for grabs in Friday's weekend opener, Dennis Erb, Jr. timed
in ninth quickest in Group B during qualifying prior to placing
fifth in his heat race. After grabbing the third and final transfer
spot through his B-Main, Dennis was able to pick off eleven
competitors during the 40-lap feature event en route to a steady
eleventh place performance. (Josh James Artwork)
At the 1/4-mile bullring on Saturday evening, a $20,000 winner's
check was on the line in the finale of the 'Illini 100.' Dennis
stopped the clock thirteenth fastest in Group A during time
trials before running seventh in his heat race and fourth in
his B-Main. The Carpentersville, Illinois ace then received
a series provisional to gain access into the 60-lapper and was
able to salvage a thirteenth place showing from the rear of
the field. Dennis currently sits tenth in the latest version
of the WOOLMS point standings exiting the 'Illini 100' weekend.

of MARS Racing Series showdowns from April 17-19. Later tonight
to get the tripleheader underway, a $5,000 to win show will
be held at Cedar County Raceway in Tipton, Iowa. A similar $5,000
to win event will then be held on Friday evening at 34 Raceway
in West Burlington, Iowa. The annual ‘Slocum 50’
will then wrap up the busy weekend on Saturday at 34 Raceway,
as Dennis will vie for a $10,555 payday in the prestigious contest.
