Dennis Erb, Jr. Ready for USA Nationals After Lucrative Week in Land of Lincoln
(July 30, 2026) The Dennis Erb Racing team ventured to both Lincoln Speedway in Lincoln, Illinois and Fairbury Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois from July 21-25. The lucrative week of racing in the Land of Lincoln kicked off with a pair of $20,000 to win FloRacing Night in America Series contests. At Lincoln Speedway on Tuesday, Dennis Erb, Jr. advanced past a trio of competitors to place tenth in the final rundown of the 50-lap feature. On Wednesday at FALS in a similar program, Dennis placed second in his loaded heat race, but a flat right rear tire during the 50-lapper dropped the Carpentersville, Illinois ace out of the top ten and relegated him to a twentieth place showing.

The action at Fairbury then heated back up over the weekend with the 36th edition of the 'Prairie Dirt Classic,' which was once again sanctioned by the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. In Friday's preliminary program, Dennis turned the twelfth quickest lap in Group A during qualifying prior to advancing three spots during his 25-lap Prairie Dirt Showdown en route to a strong third place effort behind only $5,000 winner Sam Seawright and runner-up Chris Simpson. With a hefty $50,000 top prize up for grabs in Saturday's PDC, Dennis started the 100-lapper from the inside of the sixth row and ultimately placed fourteenth at the unfurling of the checkered flag. Full results from both Illinois venues can be found online at www.floseries.com and www.woolms.com.

Next up for the #28 team will be a trip north to the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin from July 30-August 1. Later tonight, the 39th Annual ‘USA Nationals’ gets underway with a $10,000 to win World of Outlaws Late Model Series shootout. Time trials, heat races, and a dash will then take place on Friday evening at Cedar Lake prior to Saturday’s consolation races and 100-lap crown jewel headliner, which boasts a hefty $100,000 first place prize. Dennis comes into the weekend eighth in the latest version of the national series point standings.
