Dennis Erb, Jr. Runner-Up in Prairie Dirt Classic; Shawano and Cedar Lake Ahead!
(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) The 27th Annual 'Prairie Dirt Classic' weekend was the focus of the #28 team on July 29-30 at Fairbury American Legion Speedway in downtown Fairbury, Illinois. A $27,000 winner's check was on the line in the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series special. On Friday night, Dennis Erb, Jr. started off the weekend by laying down the seventh quickest time in Group B during qualifying prior to grabbing the third and final transfer spot through his stacked heat race.
After an engine change before Saturday's 100-lap 'Prairie Dirt Classic,' Dennis started the extra-distance affair from the outside of the eighth row. He did not stay towards the back for long, as he quickly started picking off cars all over the 1/4-mile bullring. Dennis eventually moved all the way up to second in the running order and hounded leader Josh Richards for the point over the final 25 circuits. The Carpentersville, Illinois star came up just short in his bid for the big victory and settled for an impressive runner-up showing behind only victor Richards. Complete results from FALS can be obtained by clicking on www.woolms.com.
Dennis plans to once again compete with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series this week in the Badger State of Wisconsin. Later tonight, August 2, a $10,000 top prize will be up for grabs at Shawano Speedway in Shawano, Wisconsin and Dennis will be behind the wheel of one of Allen Murray’s #2 machines. The annual ‘USA Nationals’ weekend will then thrill the diehard fans at the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin from August 4-6. A $6,000 payday will greet the WOOLMS competitors in Thursday’s preliminary night at CLS, while the $50,000 to win ‘USA Nationals’ will take center stage on Friday and Saturday.
