Tyler Erb Triumphant In Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series TV Race Challenge

Story By: JAMES ESSEX / LUCAS OIL LATE MODEL DIRT SERIES – BATAVIA, OH – This year’s winner of the GEICO TV Race Challenge started off at Speedweeks with three wins and five top five finishes. Beginning the year with no finishes outside the top five in TV Race Challenge points races, it is no wonder the title went to Tyler Erb of New Waverly, TX.

“The GEICO TV Race Challenge is a pretty cool deal and the money really helps out.” stated Erb. Showcasing his personality, Erb continued, “I guess I’m like a movie star because I perform well under the lights of a TV camera.”

The TV Race Challenge awarded points to drivers at the twenty-four televised events, within the series schedule. Erb will receive a $10,000 bonus at the championship awards banquet in December. Jonathan Davenport and Earl Pearson Jr, who finished second and third behind Erb, will also receive cash awards.
