(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Dennis Erb, Jr. and his #28 team were back on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series scene on Saturday evening, August 22 at Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. A huge crowd and the cameras of the Lucas Oil Production Studios were on hand to witness the annual running of the $10,000 to win ‘Whiskey City 50.’ Dennis knocked down the twelfth fastest lap in Group A during qualifying prior to running fifth in his stacked heat race.
Following a strong runner-up effort in the B-Main, Dennis started the 50-lap headliner from the outside of the ninth row. The Carpentersville, Illinois star then pointed his Black Diamond Chassis towards the front of the stellar field at the drop of the green in the ‘Whiskey City 50’ and eventually picked off thirteen competitors en route to a fifth place showing. At the checkers, Dennis trailed only winner Scott Bloomquist, Jonathan Davenport, Jimmy Owens, and Eddie Carrier, Jr. He still sits seventh in the latest version of the LOLMDS point standings following Lawrenceburg.
