Tyler Erb Races to First-Career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Win
World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series Action Resumes this Week
New Waverly, Texas (09/17/18) – Tyler Erb finally got over the hump on Thursday night during the opening round of the 15th annual Lucas Oil Knoxville Late Model Nationals. The 21-year-old Texan drove his First Class Septic #91 New Point Lighting and Design/ Roberts Bee Company/ XR1 Rocket Chassis/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model to the first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) win of his career.
“I feel like I’ve been racing forever and it’s really not that long,†Erb said in victory lane. “But this is the sweetest feeling I’ve ever felt in my life. Between Lucas Oil and the World of Outlaws we’ve been so close to getting our first national win, but until tonight we had come up just short. Thanks to my family, my team, and all of my sponsors, who helped make this possible.â€
Tyler Erb was one of 57 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) entries on hand at Knoxville Raceway (Knoxville, Iowa) on Thursday night, kicking off the 15th annual Lucas Oil Knoxville Late Model Nationals.
Starting the night with the seventh-fastest time in his qualifying group, Erb passed three cars in his heat race to score a third-place finish. Earning the outside-front-row starting position for the opening night feature, Tyler slipped past Mason Zeigler on lap-17 and held the top spot for the remaining eight circuits en route to capturing his first-career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory. The win his sixth overall on the season.
Topping Earl Pearson Jr., Chad Simpson, Jimmy Owens, and Frank Heckenast Jr., Erb captured a $7,000 payday for his triumph in the 25-lap affair.
Returning on Friday night, Erb laid down the second-fastest time in his group behind Scott Bloomquist before racing to a sixth-place finish in his heat race. Starting the $7,000-to-win preliminary feature in 20th, Tyler gained eight spots in the 25-lapper to place 12th.
With his spot already locked into the Saturday’s $40,000-to-win finale, Tyler Erb dropped three spots in the 100-lap affair, registering an eighth-place finish.
