CARPENTERSVILLE, IL (Jan. 31, 2007) - Dennis Erb and the Dennis Erb Racing team are on the verge of kicking off their 2007 racing season this week in state of Georgia. The Golden Isles Speedway in Brunswick, Georgia will play host to its annual ‘Super Bowl of Racing’ weekend, starting Wednesday night, January 31. In all, the ultra-fast, 5/8-mile facility will entertain four events, culminating in a $12,000 to win O’Reilly Southern Allstars Series show on Saturday, February 3. You can learn more about the ‘Super Bowl of Racing III’ online at www.goldenislesspeedway.com  and www.southern-allstars.com .

Dennis and the #28 team will then head south to the East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida to compete in six more Dirt Late Model events from February 5-10. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will sanction all of the exciting, wheel-to-wheel racing action at the Tampa area venue. Three $5,000 to win shows will highlight the first three nights at the “Clay by the Bay,” while the final three events will pay $7,000, $10,000, and $12,000 to win respectively.
