Magnolia, Texas (09/02/14) – 17-year-old, Tyler Erb made history on Saturday night at Lone Star Speedway (Kilgore, Texas) in his #91 Erb Racing/Rocket by Litton/Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model as he powered to first-career win with the P&W Sales Southern United Professional Racers (SUPR) Super Late Model tour.
The night began with Tyler cruising to a heat race win, earning him the outside-front-row starting spot alongside Garrett Alberson for the $2,000-to-win feature. Erb assumed the point at the drop of the green flag, and went unchallenged over the course of the 30 lapper to take checkered flag by nearly a straightaway ahead of Rob Litton, Ronny Adams, Jon Mitchell, and Patrik Daniel.
"This win has been a long time coming," said an elated Erb. "We've been so close so many times. Hopefully now that the first one is out of the way, the wins will come much easier now. I have to thank my family, my sponsors, my crew, and everybody who helped make this happen.
Saturday evening found the team pitted at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi), where a $2,000-to-win event was held that drew a field of eighteen entries to the gumbo oval. Erb race to a third place finish in his heat race to lock into the eighth starting spot for the finale. Tyler advanced two spots to a sixth place finish in the final rundown.
