Australian Doubleheader Set for this Weekend


New Waverly, Texas (01/15/19) – On Saturday night Tyler Erb picked up the victory at Perth Motorplex (Perth, Australia) during the second round of the U.S. Invasion in the Case Construction #91 HDD Racing/ Tri Tech Lubricant/ XR1 Rocket Chassis Super Late Model.

The Di Candilo Steel City Late Model Nationals victory gave Erb a shot in the arm after struggles in the first round.

“This place (Perth Motorplex) is a lot different than it was last year, and our notes from last year just didn’t work in the first race,” Erb revealed. “This feels a lot better than we felt on Wednesday. We worked on the car all day and all week, and finally we got it good for this second feature.

“(Joe) Godsey was gone in the feature, and I don’t think we would’ve ever caught him if not for the caution. On the restart I stuck my neck in there, and he and I made some contact. I know I leaned on him some, and he could’ve run me dirty but didn’t and I appreciate that. Finally, I want to thank everybody at HDD Racing for again providing me with this awesome opportunity. These guys bust their butts for me, and I really appreciate it.”

On Wednesday Tyler Erb returned to action at Perth Motorplex (Kwinana Beach, Western Australia) with the opening night of the Di Candilo Steel City Late Model Nationals. With 28 Super Late Models registered for action, Erb timed in 10th-fastest in qualifying before charging to a heat race win. Falling one spot shy of a Top-5 finish in the feature, Tyler posted a sixth-place performance in the 30-lap affair.

For the second round of the Di Candilo Steel City Late Model Nationals, Tyler Erb was one of 25 cars that returned to Perth Motorplex on Saturday evening. After cruising to an 8-lap heat race win in his first attempt, Tyler passed five cars in his second heat to finish fifth.

Earning the third-starting position for the main event, Erb set a steady pace in the early stages of the race before he made his move to the front. Using a late-race caution to his advantage, Tyler Erb slipped underneath the leader and held off late-race challenges to pick up his first win of the season. Billy Moyer, Michael Holmes, Joe Godsey, and Marc Giancola completed the Top-5 finishers in the 40-lap affair.
