Dennis Erb, Jr. Sixth in Pittsburgher 100; Lucas Oil Season Wraps Up at Portsmouth

(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) The penultimate event of the 2016 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series campaign took the #28 team to the sprawling Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway in Imperial, Pennsylvania on October 7-8 for the 28th edition of the 'Pittsburgher 100.' Following a wash-out of Friday's action at the monster 1/2-mile speedplant, the entire $20,000 to win program was contested on Saturday. Dennis Erb, Jr. clicked off the eleventh quickest lap in Group A during the qualifying session and later grabbed the fourth and final transfer spot through his heat race.

After starting the 100-lap headliner from the inside of the seventh row, Dennis blasted all the way up inside of the top five before eventually settling for a solid sixth place performance. At the checkers, Dennis found himself trailing only winner Josh Richards, Scott Bloomquist, Gregg Satterlee, Don O'Neal, and Jimmy Owens and still finds himself fourth in the latest LOLMDS point standings exiting the 'Pittsburgher 100.' Complete results from PPMS can be viewed online at www.lucasdirt.com.

Next up for the Dennis Erb Racing team will be the final event of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series season, which will take place on October 14-15 at Portsmouth Raceway Park in Portsmouth, Ohio. The 36th Annual ‘Dirt Track World Championship’ will take center stage at PRP this weekend and a whopping $100,000 payday will be up for grabs. Two rounds of qualifying heat races are scheduled for Friday night, while the consolation events, the $3,000 to win ‘Jim Dunn Memorial’ for non-qualifiers, and the 100-lap DTWC will cap off the weekend on Saturday evening.
