Erb, Jr. Set for Busy Illinois
Speedweek Starting Tonight at Spoon River Speedway
(May
6, 2026) Dennis Erb, Jr. and his #28 team followed
the World of Outlaws Late Model Series to the states of Iowa
and Wisconsin from April 28-May 2 for a quartet of high profile
events. Things kicked off last Tuesday night at Independence
Motor Speedway in Independence, Iowa with a $12,000 to win shootout.

The dirt-slinging action then quickly turned to Mississippi
Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wisconsin for the three-day
'Dairyland Showdown.' In the pair of $10,000 to win preliminary
shows, Dennis finished twenty-third on Thursday and twelfth
on Friday. With a hefty $40,000 top prize up for grabs in Saturday
evening's headliner, Dennis ran fifth in his heat race, second
in his B-Main, and fourteenth in the 50-lapper after passing
six competitors. He emerged from the hectic week tenth in the
latest version of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series point
standings. Full results from all four races can be accessed
online at www.woolms.com.
Another busy stretch greats Dennis Erb Racing from May 6-9,
as four lucrative races will make up Illinois Speedweek. The
FloRacing Night in America Series will kick off their season
later tonight with a $20,000 to win program at Spoon River Speedway
in Banner, Illinois. Another $20,000 paycheck will be on the
line with the miniseries on Thursday at Lincoln Speedway in
Lincoln, Illinois. Dennis is planning on following the entire
FloRacing Night in America Series schedule to vie for the $75,000
championship title.
The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will then invade the Land
of Lincoln to sanction a pair of events over the weekend. On
Friday night, Farmer City Raceway in Farmer City, Illinois will
host the $25,000 to win ‘Farmer City 74.’ At Fairbury
Speedway in downtown Fairbury, Illinois on Saturday evening,
Dennis will gun for the $30,000 payday in the annual running
of the ‘FALS Spring Shootout.’ Each of the four
races this week will be broadcast LIVE to subscribers of FloRacing.
