Dennis Erb Racing Bolts South to Start 2017 Season in Georgia and Florida

(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Fresh off an impressive 2016 racing season that saw them capture four special event wins including the $100,000 ‘Dirt Late Model Dream’ and the $20,000 ‘National 100,’ Dennis Erb Racing is about ready to embark on the start of their 2017 campaign in Georgia and Florida during “Speedweeks.” Dennis Erb, Jr. will unload his potent Black Diamond racecar for the first time to compete in the annual running of the ‘Super Bowl of Racing’ at Golden Isles Speedway near Brunswick, Georgia on February 10-11. The first two races on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series calendar will pay $10,000 and $12,000 to win respectively.

From there, the #28 team will venture further south to the Sunshine State of Florida with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series for the 41st edition of the ‘Winternationals’ at East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida (February 13-18) and the ‘Bubba Army Winter Nationals’ at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida (February 19). Six straight nights of wheel-to-wheel action will keep fans on the edge of their seats at East Bay with winning purses ranging from $5,000 to $12,000. The final LOLMDS program during “Speedweeks” will then be held at BRP and a $10,000 payday will be up for grabs.

Dennis, who finished sixth in last year’s version of the heated Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point standings, will once again follow the national touring series in 2017 in hopes of claiming the Championship. The Carpentersville, Illinois star has been especially strong during “Speedweeks” in recent years - especially at East Bay Raceway Park where he has picked up numerous feature victories - and will look to get off to a stellar points start when competition kicks off in a little over a week. You can learn more about each LOLMDS show by pointing your web browser to www.lucasdirt.com.

Once the checkered flag falls at Bubba Raceway Park, Dennis Erb Racing will turn their attention to the 46th Annual ‘DIRTcar Nationals’ at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Florida. The UMP DIRTcar Series and World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series will preside over the dirt-slinging action at the Daytona Beach-area speedplant from February 20-25. Winning purses at VSP during the six night stint for the Super Late Models range from $7,000 to $10,000.

In all and weather pending, Dennis will compete in fifteen high-profile showdowns in Georgia and Florida from February 10-25. His hectic “Speedweeks” schedule is shown below and you can keep up on his journey down south each day by clicking on www.denniserb.com.
