(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Â Dennis Erb, Jr. and his #28 team returned to the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series scene on June 15-16 in the annual running of the ‘Clash at the Mag’ at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi. Â The two-day showdown drew 28 competitors to “The Mag” to vie for the hefty $20,000 top prize.
Dennis started off his weekend by knocking down the twenty-fourth fastest lap during the qualifying session on Friday night and later grabbing the sixth and final transfer spot through his loaded heat race. Â The Carpentersville, Illinois ace then started the 100-lap headliner on Saturday evening from the outside of the ninth row, climbed up inside of the top ten in the ‘Clash at the Mag,’ and wound up claiming a respectable twelfth place performance. Â Dennis still sits thirteenth in the heated LOLMDS point standings exiting the trip to Mississippi. Â Full results from the ‘Clash at the Mag’ can be found online at www.lucasdirt.com.
