Dennis Erb, Jr. Fourth In LOLMDS Points Heading into Pittsburgher 100

(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Dennis Erb Racing made the trip to the Peach State with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series on October 1-2 for a pair of single-day throwdowns at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Georgia and Rome Speedway in Rome, Georgia. Things kicked off at Dixie on Saturday night with the annual running of the 'Dixie Shootout,' which paid $12,000 to the winner. Dennis Erb, Jr. posted the eighth fastest lap in Group B during the qualifying session prior to running third in heat race action. After starting the 60-lapper from the outside of the eighth row, Dennis was able to improve four spots on his way to a twelfth place showing in the 'Dixie Shootout.'

At Rome on Sunday evening, a $10,000 top prize was on the line in the 'Rome Showdown.' Dennis laid down the fourth quickest time in Group B during qualifying and once again ran third in his loaded heat race. The Carpentersville, Illinois star then rolled off twelfth on the grid in the 50-lap headliner before ultimately finishing the contest in the eleventh position. Dennis now sits fourth in the latest version of the LOLMDS point standings following the doubleheader weekend. Full results from both Dixie and Rome can be accessed online at www.lucasdirt.com.

Next up on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule will be the 28th edition of the ‘Pittsburgher 100’ on October 7-8 at Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway in Imperial, Pennsylvania. Dennis and the rest of the stars of the tour will tackle the monster 1/2-mile oval in search of capturing the $20,000 winner’s check. Qualifying and heat races are scheduled for this Friday night at PPMS, while the consolation events and the 100-lap ‘Pittsburgher’ will thrill fans on Saturday evening. Dennis was strong in last year’s version of the historic race, as he crossed underneath the checkers in the fifth spot.
