Pierce Adds to His Summer Nationals Points Lead<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"0spoonriver-062316-584\"CANTON, Ill. \u2013 June 23, 2016 \u2013 Dennis Erb Jr., fresh of his win at the Dirt Late Model Dream, came into Thursday night\u2019s DIRTcar Summer Nationals at Spoon River Speedway with the wind at his back and did it ever show.<\/p>\n

Erb cruised to a dominant victory over Billy Moyer and Bobby Pierce in the 50-lap feature and scored the $10,000 payday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know if it was easy or not,\u201d Erb said. \u201cThe car was good and I didn\u2019t see anybody challenge me there. We were able just to get out front and I didn\u2019t feel no challenge, so I just kept driving my line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Erb started the feature on the pole and and easily pulled away from Moyer through the opening half of the feature. A caution flag flew on lap 28, but Erb maintained when the feature returned to green. Through traffic in the closing laps, Moyer tried to close the gap on Erb but was unable to make a move.<\/p>\n

The win was the 20th Summer Nationals victory of Erb\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

Pierce charged through the field and battled past Mike Marlar to finish in third. He added to his Summer Nationals points lead.<\/p>\n

The DIRTcar Summer Nationals returns to action on Friday at Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach, Ill.<\/p>\n
