(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) With the rain-out of Sunday’s annual ‘Go 50’ at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska, the Dennis Erb Racing team wound up competing in a pair of $12,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series contests over the May 18-20 weekend in the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. On Friday night in a first-ever visit to 141 Speedway in Maribel, Wisconsin, Dennis Erb, Jr. timed in twenty-second quickest overall during the qualifying session before finishing seventh in his heat race. After starting the 50-lap main event from the inside of the tenth row, Dennis methodically worked his way past eight competitors on the bottom-dominant racing surface to secure a solid eleventh place effort.

The dirt-slinging action quickly shifted to Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota on Saturday evening for the ‘NAPA North Star Nationals,’ which also featured a $12,000 payday. Dennis knocked down the third fastest lap in Group A during time trials prior to grabbing the fourth and final transfer spot through his loaded heat race. After rolling off from the inside of the seventh row in the 50-lap headliner, the Carpentersville, Illinois star battled hard for a top ten showing before settling for a fourteenth place performance in the Gopher State.

The #28 team is currently gearing up for one of Dirt Late Model racing’s crown jewel events, which will be held from May 24-26 at the state-of-the-art Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri. The 26th Annual Lucas Oil ‘Show-Me 100’ will take center stage at the 3/8-mile oval this weekend and things will kick off with a pair of $6,000 to win preliminary programs on Thursday and Friday. Drivers will earn points in each of the two prelim nights that will determine the lineups for Saturday’s 100-lap grand finale, which boasts a hefty $30,000 top prize.

Dennis comes into the three-day extravaganza thirteenth in the latest version of the heated Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point standings. He ran seventh in last year’s edition of the ‘Show-Me 100,’ while he finished third and on the podium in the biggie at Lucas Oil Speedway back in both 2012 and 2013.
