Tyler Erb wins Tuesday Lucas Oil thriller at East Bay

By Series PR

TAMPA, Fla. - Tyler Erb made a late-race pass on Brandon Overton to win Tuesday night’s Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Florida.

A caution flew on the final lap for Brandon Sheppard just before the checkered flag, setting up a duel between Erb and Overton for the top of the podium.

The victory for Erb was his 10th career win in series competition, his third career win at East Bay, and his third overall win of 2021.

Brian Shirley jumped to the lead at the start of the race and led the first nine laps. Overton moved up from his fifth starting spot to grab the lead. A three-car battle for the top spot ensued between Overton, Shirley, and Erb for the remainder of the race.

“I thought that would have made a great tv thing,” said Erb in victory lane. “We were able to pull through. It made my heart skip a beat when I headed to the checkered and then the caution came out. I was not happy about that. We definitely had to work for everything we have gotten this week. I can’t thank the crew enough for all they do. Eric Brock gave me the opportunity of a lifetime to drive his car and we hope to be in for a long time.”

Tanner English, Johnny Scott, Hudson O’Neal, Devin Moran, and Tyler Bruening rounded out the top 10.
