Tyler Erb scored his second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season in the opening night of the Winternationals on Monday night at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Florida.
Erb started on the pole of the main event but did not take the lead until the 13th circuit. He was one of four different race leaders, others being Blairsville, Georgia’s Jonathan Davenport, Josh Richards, and Brandon Sheppard. Erb won the thrilling opener by just nine-tenths of a second – holding off Richards, Sheppard, Austin Hubbard and Don O’Neal en route to his first ever win at the “Clay by the Bay.”
Defending series champion Davenport bolted to the lead at the start of the race and led the first eight laps. Richards then forged ahead for one lap, before Sheppard took command of the race for two circuits. Erb then charged around Sheppard to take the lead for good on lap 13 and pulled away enough to thwart any efforts by Richards and Sheppard.
Richards battled hard for second in the last 15 laps of the race to join Erb on the podium, with Richards just edging Sheppard at the finish.
Erb was elated with his second win of 2019 on the tour.
“I am super-excited to get this opportunity to work with Randall Edwards, Eric, and Kelly,” he said. “This is a dream come true for me. I have been dreaming of this chance for a long time and to finally get to this point is very satisfying, but you have to stay hungry. We still have a lot of racing left this year, but we couldn’t ask for a better start to the season.”
Hubbard finished in fourth, with O’Neal in fifth.
Billy Moyer, Chase Junghans, Davenport, Kyle Bronson and Hudson O’Neal rounded out the top ten.
