Tyler Erb Scores $12,000 Victory in Debut with Best Performance Motorsports
Set for Seven-Day Run this Week with LOLMDS

St. Marys, Ohio (02/04/19) – Tyler Erb hit the ground running in his debut with Best Performance Motorsports. The 22-year-old Texan scored the season opening win with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) on Saturday afternoon during the annual RhinoAg Super Bowl of Racing.

The victory came aboard the team's New Point Direction & Lighting #1 Best Performance Motorsports/ Roberts Bee Company/ Rocket XR1/ Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model.

"I want to thank Eric and Kelly Brock and Randall Edwards for having faith in me to drive their car," Erb commented. "This is a great way to start the season! There is so much tough competition here. I was a little worried in traffic, but those guys gave me plenty of room to get by. It was fast today, for sure. I want to thank Wayne Childress of New Point Lighting and Design, and Billy Franklin for helping us out this year."

Erb entered his first-career event with Best Performance Motorsports on Friday night at Golden Isles Speedway (Brunswick, Georgia). He started his night with a heat race win to lock into the fourth-starting position for the 50-lap, $12,000-to-win finale.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature intervened before the feature could be run as a steady rain pushed the finale to early Saturday afternoon.

When action finally resumed on Saturday, Tyler quickly advanced into a podium position. On lap 13 he catapulted past the top two runners in turns one and two to grab the lead.

Once out front Erb kept the field at bay for the remainder of the event, en route to the victory. It marked his third overall win of 2019, and his second-career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph.

On Saturday night the second round of the RhinoAg Super Bowl of Racing came to life. After another lengthy rain delay, Erb started his night by qualifying second in his group, and then backed it up with a heat race win.

Starting fourth on the feature grid for the second-straight event, Tyler ran in the Top-5 throughout the race before crossing the finish line in the fourth position behind Earl Pearson Jr., Jonathan Davenport and Scott Bloomquist.

Tyler is currently tied for second in the latest LOLMDS standings. For more information on the event, please visit www.LucasDirt.com .

Speedweeks action resumes for the team on Monday night, when they kick off the annual Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park (Gibsonton, Florida). The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) action at the track that is known as “The Clay by The Bay,” spans from Monday through Saturday.

On Sunday night, the team will roll into Bubba Raceway Park (Ocala, Florida) for the final LOLMDS event of Speedweeks.
