Erb, Jr. and BWRC
Team Invades Eldora Speedway for World 100
(September
8, 2024) From September 4-7, the BWRC House Car team was
in the pit area at the hallowed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg,
Ohio. The busy week at the 1/2-mile, high-banked oval started
on Wednesday night with a $20,000 payday on the line in a Castrol
FloRacing Night in America Series shootout. Dennis Erb, Jr.
finished ninth in his heat race and tenth in his B-Main, but
later received a series provisional to transfer into the 50-lap
main event. Dennis was ultimately able to pass a handful of
racecars to salvage a twenty-first place performance.
The 54th edition of the ‘World 100’ then took center
stage at the “Big E” - starting with a pair of $12,000
to win, split-field preliminary programs. On Thursday evening,
Dennis narrowly missed out on his 25-lap feature after placing
ninth in his Shootout race. In a similar show on Friday, Dennis
grabbed the eighth and final transfer spot through his Shootout
race prior to finishing twenty-fourth in the final rundown of
his 25-lapper.
With a whopping $57,000 paycheck up for grabs in Saturday’s
annual ‘World 100,’ Dennis ran ninth in his loaded
heat race before charging past eleven competitors in his B-Main.
Unfortunately, the Carpentersville, Illinois star's sixth place
effort in the consolation race was just shy of transferring
him into the 100-lap crown jewel headliner. Complete results

Top Five for Dennis
Erb, Jr. in Sunday Stop at Spoon River!
(September
2, 2024) The Labor Day holiday weekend took Dennis Erb
Racing to a pair of different dirt venues in the states of Iowa
and Illinois from August 30-September 1. Things kicked off at
300 Raceway in Farley, Iowa with the two-day 'Yankee Dirt Track
Classic,' which was sanctioned by the XR Super Series. On Friday
night in the $15,000 to win lid lifter, Dennis Erb, Jr. placed
fifth in his loaded heat race prior to finishing nineteenth
at the completion of the 40-lap feature event. With a whopping
$50,047 top prize up for grabs in Saturday's grand finale, Dennis
once again ran fifth in his heat race, but a late flat tire
in the 60-lap headliner helped drop the Carpentersville, Illinois
ace to a fifteenth place showing.
On Sunday, the holiday weekend wrapped up with a MARS Racing
Series showdown at Spoon River Speedway in Banner, Illinois.
Dennis stopped the clock third quickest overall during the qualifying
session prior to picking up a heat race triumph. With passing
at a premium throughout the 40-lap main event, Dennis eventually
brought his #28 machine home in the fifth position behind only
$5,000 'Plowboy Nationals' victor McKay Wenger, Ryan Unzicker,
Jason Feger, and Justin Duty. Complete results from the entire
weekend can be accessed online at www.xrsuperseries.com

Tenth Place Effort
for Dennis Erb, Jr. in BWRC House Car Debut
(August
18, 2024) Dennis Erb, Jr. made his debut in the BWRC ICON
House Car from August 14-17 in a trio of World of Outlaws CASE
Construction Late Model Series showdowns in the states of Illinois
and Iowa. The busy extended weekend kicked off on Wednesday
at Highland Speedway in Highland, Illinois. Dennis knocked down
the third quickest time in Group A during qualifying prior to
securing a victory in heat race action. After starting third
on the grid in the $10,000 to win main event, Dennis was hampered
by right front damage from an incident during the 40-lap feature
and was eventually scored in the tenth finishing position. Thursday's
scheduled stop to Spoon River Speedway in Banner, Illinois was
then unfortunately nixed by inclement weather.
The dirt-slinging action then quickly shifted to Maquoketa
Speedway in Maquoketa, Iowa over the weekend for the two-day
'Hawkeye 100.' On Friday evening with a $10,000 top prize up
for grabs, Dennis placed fourth in his heat race and eighteenth
in the 40-lapper after suffering a flat tire just past halfway.
With a $20,000 paycheck on the line in Saturday's finale, Dennis
ran fifth in his heat race, won his B-Main, and later climbed
to fourteenth in the 60-lap headliner. The Carpentersville,
Illinois star still finds himself ninth in the latest version
of the WOOLMS point standings exiting the 'Hawkeye 100.' Full

Dennis Erb, Jr.
& BWRC Join Forces for Remainder of 2024 Season
(August
14, 2024) When Dennis Erb, Jr. takes to the track later
this evening at Highland Speedway, he will be sporting a slightly
different paint scheme on his #28 and wheeling a totally different
race car. The Carpentersville, Illinois star has recently joined
forces with Barry Wright Race Cars and will now pilot an ICON
car out of their Cowpens, South Carolina race shop for the remainder
of the 2024 season. Dennis, who currently sits ninth in the
latest version of the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late
Model Series point standings, will vie for the $10,000 top prize
with the national tour later tonight at the Highland, Illinois
bullring.
“I am really excited about getting back behind the wheel
of a Barry Wright race car and working closely with Barry and
Lance (Wright) again,” commented Erb, Jr. earlier today.
“I had a lot of success in their stuff several years back
and we’ve remained good friends through the years. We
tested together last night at Clarksville Speedway and I felt
really comfortable in the car. Hopefully, we can get off to
a fast start this weekend and work on building some momentum
for the rest of the season!”
Lance Wright echoed many of those same sentiments today via
telephone. “We have always tried to help Dennis out -
even when he wasn’t in our cars. Thanks to ASD Motorsports,
we were able to put this deal together and we’re very
excited about working hands on with Dennis once again. The test
session went well last night and hopefully we are quick right
out of the box later this evening!”
Following tonight’s show at Highland (IL) Speedway, the
Dennis Erb Racing team will follow the World of Outlaws Late
Model Series trail to both Spoon River Speedway in Banner, Illinois
and Maquoketa Speedway in Maquoketa, Iowa to wrap up the busy
four-race week. Another $10,000 winner’s check will be
on the line Thursday at Spoon River, while the two-night ‘Hawkeye
100’ at Maquoketa will pay $10,000 to win on Friday and
$20,000 to win on Saturday. Learn more about these events online
at www.woolms.com or watch every lap LIVE on DIRTVision.
