NASCAR Cup Series Champion Alan Kulwicki once said, “In every aspect of life, have a game plan and do your best to achieve it.”
Dennis Erb, Jr. knew he had to master turns 1 and 2 if he wanted a Gator trophy in the DIRTCar Nationals. He wasted no time executing his game plan, thundering past Frank Heckenast, Jr. at the Barberville, Florida raceway.
It’s a lead he’d never relinquish, fending off challenges from Brandon Sheppard and Chase Junghans to score his first World of Outlaws CASE Late Models win of 2022 Friday night.
“I mean, we were able to get the lead and roll off through that middle on the start,” Erb said. “We kept going real good and had a good start. After that, the car was working good, and we just had to keep hitting our marks and keep the rest of them behind us.”
The path toward his 10th career Series triumph in his 250th start wasn’t clear for the Late Model veteran. Erb and defending champion Brandon Sheppard gave the fans a battle for the lead around the Feature’s halfway point.
The reigning champion swung high while Erb held his ground on the bottom, gaining enough momentum to pull ahead as a caution came out on lap 25.
“I saw him out there and started to get a little worried,” Erb said. “I started to try and carry a little more speed through (turns) 1 and 2. I knew (Sheppard) was pretty much committed up there, so I knew if I could beat him on the bottom, we were in pretty good shape.”
Sheppard faded to fourth at the checkered flag. Chase Junghans finished in second, with Darrell Lanigan in third. Chickamauga, Georgia’s Dale McDowell rounded out the top five.
