(CARPENTERSVILLE, ILLINOIS) The 2023 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series season came to a close on October 20-22 in a rainy weekend at the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. The 43rd edition of the ‘Dirt Track World Championship’ took place for the first time at the 1/2-mile, high-banked speedplant and the #28 team was in the pit area to vie for the $100,000 first place prize money. With inclement weather shuffling the order of events, Dennis Erb, Jr. kicked off the weekend on Saturday by posting the twentieth fastest lap in Group B during the qualifying session.
When action resumed on Sunday afternoon at the “Big E,” Dennis finished sixth in his heat race and third in his B-Main. Unfortunately, his effort in the consolation event was one mere spot out of a coveted transfer position into the 100-lap DTWC. The Carpentersville, Illinois ace then turned his focus to the $3,000 to win ‘Jim Dunn Memorial’ for non-qualifiers and Dennis was able to salvage his stint at Eldora by running a strong second in the race, which was won by Jason Jameson.

Dennis Erb Racing will dip south this upcoming weekend – October 28-29 – for the 49th Annual ‘National 100’ at the historic East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Alabama. The marquee Super Late Model event will shell out a record $49,000 top prize and will pay $2,000 to start Sunday’s 100-lap main event. Dennis will be looking for his second race title, as he captured the triumph back in 2016 over runner-up Tim McCreadie, Brandon Overton, Darrell Lanigan, and Don O’Neal.
