On Thursday, Erb was back with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) at Florence Speedway (Union, Ky.) for a pair of prelims to kick off the 41st Sunoco North-South 100 weekend. Starting his preliminary in ninth via third-place showing in his heat, Tyler jumped up two spots to finish seventh.
The following night, Tyler raced into his prelim with a runner-up run in his consolation race after missing a transfer spot in his heat. Charging forward eight positions in the 25-lap affair, Erb recorded a 14th-place outing.
With results from prelims on Thursday and Friday setting the grid for heat races on Saturday, Erb was collected in a tangle in his heat that forced him to rely on a provisional into the $75,000-to-win Sunoco North-South 100 finale. Pinned on the 13th row, Tyler gained six positions in the 100-lapper to finish 19th.
Tyler is currently ninth in the latest LOLMDS point standings.
