(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Dennis Erb, Jr. and his #28 team were in the pit area at Fairbury Speedway in downtown Fairbury, Illinois on July 30-31 for the 31st edition of the ‘Prairie Dirt Classic.’ The World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series once again sanctioned the mega-event, which drew 74 competitors to the 1/4-mile oval to vie for the whopping $50,000 winner’s check.
On Friday evening at FALS, Dennis went out late in his group during qualifying and posted the twenty-sixth fastest time in Group A prior to advancing to ninth in his $3,000 to win, 25-lap qualifying feature. In front of a standing-room-only crowd on Saturday night, Dennis placed fifth in his B-Main and later utilized a series provisional to gain access into the 100-lap ‘Prairie Dirt Classic.’ The Carpentersville, Illinois ace then steered past thirteen competitors to finish eleventh in the extra-distance affair and Dennis still sits fifth in the latest version of the WOOLMS point standings exiting the Land of Lincoln.

Dennis Erb Racing is currently in the Badger State for a big week of World of Outlaws Late Model Series action at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wisconsin and Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin. Later tonight, a $10,000 top prize will be up for grabs at Outagamie in the ‘FVP Platinum Battery Showdown,’ which will be headlined by a 40-lap main event. Dennis qualified well and won his heat race last year at the Seymour facility before winding up tenth in the final finishing order of a July 2020 shootout.
At Cedar Lake, the 34th Annual ‘USA Nationals’ is on tap with the action starting at the renowned 3/8-mile track on Thursday, August 5 with a $6,000 to win program. Double Drydene heat races and a dash will then be held on Friday night leading into Saturday’s grand finale. The winner of the 100-lap ‘USA Nationals’ on Saturday at Cedar Lake Speedway will once again receive a $50,000 windfall. Dennis has been a fixture in the crown jewel feature for years and earned a career-best third place podium effort back in 2015.
