(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) The 33rd edition of the ‘Prairie Dirt Classic’ was on the racing calendar for the Dennis Erb Racing team on July 28-29 at Fairbury Speedway in downtown Fairbury, Illinois. The World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Model Series sanctioned last weekend at #FALS, which kicked off on Friday night with a total of four $5,000 to win preliminary features. Dennis Erb, Jr. posted the third fastest lap in Group A during qualifying before running second in his 25-lapper behind only winner Bobby Pierce. After rolling off from the outside of the fourth row in Saturday’s $50,000 to win PDC, Dennis ultimately placed seventh in the final finishing order of the 100-lap headliner.
Following the ‘Prairie Dirt Classic’ weekend, the #28 team made their way to Boone Speedway in Boone, Iowa on Tuesday, August 1 for the ‘Hawkeye 50.’ Dennis clicked off the fastest lap overall during World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Model Series qualifying to earn Fast Time honors prior to running second in his heat race. After drawing the pole position for the 50-lap main event and running as high as second early in the contest, the Carpentersville, Illinois standout settled for a solid fifth place effort behind only $15,000 winner Bobby Pierce, Ricky Thornton, Jr., Tanner English, and Chris Madden.
The defending World of Outlaws Late Model Series Champion still finds himself ninth in the latest version of the series point standings exiting the Hawkeye State oval. You can view full results from both Fairbury and Boone by logging onto www.woolms.com.
