Erb Slides to DIRTcar Summer Nationals Victory at Farmer City

FARMER CITY, Ill. - July 10, 2015 - Dennis Erb Jr. surged past Jason Feger with 12 laps to go on Friday night at Farmer City Speedway to win his second DIRTcar Summer Nationals race of the season.

It took Erb, of Carpentersville, Ill., only 22 laps to push forward from his fifth-starting position and put pressure on Feger, who started from the pole. After stalking Feger for another 10 laps he finally slid to the lead and held on for the $10,000 payday at the quarter-mile dirt oval.

"It was a good race," said Erb, a three-time DIRTcar Summer Nationals champion. "I had to start off a little slow, and I think once our tires came in, it got a little bit better there. We were able to get up there and follow him for a few laps there, see what he was doing, and knew that we could make a move, and it all worked out."

Feger held on to finish second with Brandon Sheppard, Billy Moyer Jr. and Mason Zeigler rounding out the top five. Championship leader Bobby Pierce finished sixth, putting him in position to clinch the championship on Saturday night as the season wraps up at Oakshade Raceway in Wauseon, Ohio.

Harrison Clinches DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals Crown at Farmer City After His Eighth Victory

FARMER CITY, Ill. - July 10, 2015 - Mike Harrison fought off Ray Bollinger on Friday night at Farmer City Raceway to earn his eighth victory of the 2015 DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals.
Harrison, of Highland, Ill., clinched his fourth DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals championship in the past five years, and did it in unprecedented fashion in 2015. The series counts a driver's best eight finishes toward the championship, and Harrison won eight of the 11 races he entered, becoming the first driver to post only victories toward the championship.

It wasn't easy on Saturday night. Bollinger raced hard, trying to get under Harrison several times, but Harrison had the high side dialed in at the quarter-mile dirt oval.

"I knew about five laps in my steering wheel was way off so I've got something bent in the front end," Harrison said. "I think my pull bar bushings actually busted out of the car because it's clanking and clattering. I was a little worried. I was just glad to hang on."

Bollinger finished second with Steven Brooks, Danny Schwartz and Jeffery Ledford rounding out the top five.

The DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals tour rolls into Oakshade Raceway on Saturday at Wauseon, Ohio, then finishes its season with two $2,000-to-win events and a championship celebration on July 24-25 at Fairbury (Ill.) American Legion Speedway as part of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series' Prairie Dirt Classic weekend.
