Showdown in Senoia Next on the Terbo 2018 Slate
New Waverly, Texas (10/16/18) – Tyler Erb recorded an impressive third-place finish on Saturday night in the 48th running of the coveted World 100 behind the wheel of his New Point Lighting and Design Inc. #91 Roberts Bee Company/ XR1 Rocket Chassis/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.
“I’m so proud of what we were able to accomplish (in the World 100 feature). Man, honestly, before this year, I don’t think I’ve ever even finished a 100-lap race. And I ran eighth at Knoxville and run third here,” Erb said. “I’m just maturing a little bit behind the wheel and trying to take care of my equipment … I don’t know, it just takes time. I’m only 21, so we’ll just have to see what happens next year.
“It was awesome in the feature. I really honestly didn’t get to race with Jimmy (Owens) there. We got to (a lapped car) and I just made a mistake and drove it into the fence off of (turn) two. And I was like, ‘Man, I just need to slow down and maintain and run third and get out of this place.’ It was an awesome, awesome run, and I’m super proud of my team."
On Saturday morning Tyler Erb was one of 78 Super Late Models registered at Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) for the rescheduled World 100. Gaining one spot in his heat race, Erb grabbed the fourth-and-final transfer spot, which positioned him 16th on the starting grid for the final $10,000-to-win preliminary feature of the day. Improving one spot in the 25-lap affair, Tyler scored a 15th-place outing.
Saturday evening found the final leg of the mega event contested. Tyler locked his spot into the $51,000-to-win A-Main with a third-place finish in his heat race.
Rolling off 16th for the 100-lap finale, Tyler Erb quickly charged through the field as he worked his way to as high as the runner-up spot in the closing laps. Contact with the backstretch wall with just a few circuits remaining found him slipping back to the third position, and that’s where he would cross the finish line behind Tim McCreadie and Jimmy Owens with Scott Bloomquist and Brandon Overton completing the Top-5 finishers.
