(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Dennis Erb, Jr. was officially crowned the 2022 World of Outlaws Case Construction Late Model Series National Champion from November 2-5 during the ‘World Finals’ at the pristine Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, North Carolina! The tripleheader at the 4/10-mile speedplant kicked off with a pair of $15,000 to win preliminary programs. Last Wednesday night in the opener, Dennis placed second in his heat race prior to advancing up to sixth in the 40-lap feature event. At Charlotte last Thursday evening, Dennis also ran second in his stacked heat race and later started and finished eighth in the 40-lapper, which ran caution-free.
A huge, standing-room-only crowd then piled into the Dirt Track at Charlotte on Saturday to witness the ‘World Finals’ grand finale, which boasted a hefty $25,000 paycheck. Dennis secured a triumph in his loaded heat race and later drew the fifth starting spot before the drop of the green flag in the 50-lap headliner. The Carpentersville, Illinois star then steered past a pair of competitors during the contest to land on the podium in third behind only race winner Jonathan Davenport and runner-up Chris Madden.
Following the race, Dennis was celebrated as the 2022 World of Outlaws Late Model Series Champion and was awarded a whopping $125,000 for his season-long efforts on the national tour! In addition, crew chief Heather Lyne won the Integra Crew Chief of the Year Award with the World of Outlaw Case Construction Late Model Series for the second straight year!

“It (the championship) feels really good,” Erb said in a recent interview. “It’s great actually. All the hard work and running up and down the road. A great season this year. Just running good and running up front, being able to win this now and being able to knock it off a checklist of things I want to do – it’s a great feeling.”
