Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway Up Next

ST. MARYS, Ohio (09/16/24) – Tyler Erb added his 16th win of the season this past Thursday with a $5,000 Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association (MLRA) victory in the Hawkeye Land 40 at Cedar County Raceway aboard his Bulk Material Lift / Anthony’s Pizza No. 1 Best Performance Motorsports / Langenfelder Mechanical Contractors / First Class Septic / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.

The New Waverly, Texas transplant secured the evening sweep as he turned back a charging Garrett Alberson in the closing laps of the feature to capture his second career MLRA triumph.

“I seen Garrett underneath me a couple times and pretty much was like ‘I gotta go’ and get cleared of these lapped cars,” Erb said. “I had to make good decisions in traffic and I was kinda fortunate they were all on the bottom, so it left the top wide open for me. I had a terrible week last week at Eldora and to come back and win, just feels really good.”

Erb and the Best Performance Motorsports team kicked off their tripleheader weekend with the Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association with a trip to Cedar County Raceway (Tipton, IA) on Thursday evening for the Hawkeye Land 40.

After claiming the overall fast time honors and a victory in his heat race, Erb kept a threatening Garrett Alberson at bay for all 40 laps of the main event to secure his 16th win of the season and the $5,000 winner’s payday. He recorded his second career MLRA triumph ahead of Alberson, Frank Heckenast Jr., Tony Jackson Jr., and Chris Simpson.

For the opening round of the Corn State Nationals on Friday evening at Davenport (IA) Speedway, Tyler turned in an 11th-to-6th run in the $5,000-to-win preliminary feature.

With a $10,000 top prize up for grabs in Saturday night’s finale, Erb muscled forward four positions in the 40-lap affair to register a fourth-place finish. He trailed Garrett Alberson, Brandon Sheppard, and Tyler Bruening to the checkers with McKay Wenger coming in fifth.

Garrett Alberson Doubles Down in Corn State Nationals at Davenport Speedway
20th Annual LOLMDS Knoxville Nationals Up Next

DUBUQUE, Iowa (09/16/24) – Garrett Alberson visited Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association (MLRA) Victory Lane twice this past weekend with an Iowa Corn State Nationals sweep at Davenport (IA) Speedway aboard his Roberts Motorsports / Mesilla Valley Transportation / Lucas Oil Products No. 58 Longhorn Chassis Late Model.

Alberson increased his 2024 win total to eight after backing up a $5,000 preliminary victory on Friday evening with a $10,000 payday in Saturday’s finale at the quarter-mile bullring.

“I think I just fell into the right places at the right time,” Alberson said. “I knew the lane was probably going to change somewhere in there and you know I was trying to be smart with my tires. They did a great job with the track prep, it was transitioning and moving and dirt was flying. It was just awesome. I’m super proud of my guys. I don’t know if this is what I expected coming into the weekend, but this is really cool.”

Alberson’s tripleheader swing with the Lucas Oil MLRA commenced Thursday afternoon with a short trip from the Roberts Motorsports headquarters to Cedar County Raceway (Tipton, Iowa) for the Hawkeye Land 40.

With 28 MLRA entries on the grounds for Thursday’s opener, Garrett clocked in fastest in his qualifying group before taking the checkered flag in his heat race. With $5,000 on the line in the 40-lap feature, Alberson attempted to chase down the race leader Tyler Erb in the closing laps but ultimately settled for the runner-up honors.

Parked at Davenport (Iowa) Speedway for the remainder of the weekend, Alberson joined a strong 35-car field for the two-day Corn State Nationals.

Starting on the front row of Friday's feature, Alberson tracked down race leader Dennis Erb Jr. and dramatically took the top spot with only four laps remaining. He survived a last-lap scare with a lapped car to hang on for the $5,000 triumph.

Looking for the same results on Saturday night, Garrett earned a second-row starting spot for the 40-lap finale and fell back to fourth early in the feature. Regaining his composure as the race continued, Alberson slipped by Tyler Bruening on lap 23 for the race lead and held off Brandon Sheppard in the closing laps to claim the $10,000 victory.

The win marked Alberson's eighth victory of the season and his fourth career MLRA triumph.

Full results from the MLRA weekend can be found at www.MLRARacing.com.

Alberson is set to return with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) this Thursday – Friday for the 20th annual Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville (IA) Raceway. A pair of $7,000-to-win preliminaries on Thursday and Friday set the stage for Saturday’s finale, which boasts a $50,000 top prize.
