(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) Heartland Speedweek wrapped up with the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Model Series from June 27-July 1 with four high-profile events in the states of Iowa, North Dakota, and Minnesota. Dennis Erb, Jr. was very consistent throughout the week and was able to knock down four Top Ten performances. His best run came in Saturday’s $15,000 to win finale at I-94 EMR Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. After timing in second quickest overall during qualifying and running second in his heat race, Dennis led laps 7-20 of the 50-lapper before settling for fifth at the checkers behind only race winner Bobby Pierce, Brandon Sheppard, Tanner English, and Ryan Gustin.
In other action during the week, Dennis placed eighth last Tuesday at Mason City Motor Speedway in Mason City, Iowa, sixth last Thursday at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, North Dakota, and seventh last Friday at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, North Dakota. At the conclusion of a busy Heartland Speedweek, Dennis finds himself ninth in the latest version of the heated WOOLMS point standings. Complete results from each series race can be found online by clicking on www.woolms.com.
With the World of Outlaws Late Model Series sitting idle this upcoming weekend, the #28 team will take advantage of the opportunity to race much closer to home in a pair of special events. Later tonight, July 7, the DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour rolls into Farmer City Raceway in Farmer City, Illinois to preside over a $10,000 to win throwdown. On Saturday, July 8, the dirt-slinging action will quickly shift to Fairbury Speedway in downtown Fairbury, Illinois, as a $5,000 top prize will be up for grabs in the ‘Bob Harty Memorial.’
You can watch every lap from the “Hell Tour” stop at Farmer City tonight on DIRTVision, while the ‘FALS Cup’ program on Saturday at Fairbury will be broadcast to subscribers of FloRacing. Additional information can be accessed on the web at www.farmercityracing.com and www.fairburyspeedway.com.
