(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Â The Dennis Erb Racing team rolled into the hallowed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio from June 7-9 for the annual running of the ‘Dirt Late Model Dream,’ which drew 78 competitors to the 1/2-mile, high-banked speedplant to vie for the whopping $100,000 winner’s check. Â After Thursday night’s $5,000 to win prelim was pushed back to Friday afternoon, Dennis Erb, Jr. ran seventh in his heat race and fourth in the B-Main prior to blasting past ten competitors during the 25-lap daytime sprint to earn a fourteenth place showing. Â Later that evening in the regularly scheduled $10,000 to win show, Dennis placed second in his heat race, but eventually slipped back to thirteenth in the final finishing order of the 25-lapper.
When Saturday came around at the “Big E,” Dennis had earned the 27th most points in preliminary action and a spot on the front row of one of the six heat races. Â The Carpentersville, Illinois ace ran strong in his loaded heat race and finished fourth, which was one mere spot out of a coveted transfer position into the 100-lap main event. Â He was then leading his B-Main before problems under the hood unfortunately caused him to retire and kept him out of the ‘Dirt Late Model Dream.’ Â Complete results from the soggy weekend at Eldora Speedway can be found by clicking on www.eldoraspeedway.com.
