NickHolt Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Tyler Erb Wins Tuesday Thriller at East Bay TAMPA, FL (January 26, 2021) - 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. 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 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Competition, his third career win at "The Clay by the Bay", and his third overall win of 2021. 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 lead ensued between Overton, Shirley, and Erb for the remainder of the race. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time this season Erb commented that the finish would have made for a great television ending. "I thought that would have made a great tv thing. 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." Overton was in the hunt once again for a victory at the 1/3 mile oval track. "It's just hard to make that right call every night on the car because the track changes so much. We just want to keep it on the podium." Shirley was the overall fastest qualifier for the 74 entrants and was looking for his first career win in the series and at East Bay but came home third. "I don't have a ton of experience here. We have run just a few times up front. It is not one of my better tracks. I was set up for the track to get a little blacker where I could steer a little better. I couldn't hug the corners where I needed to." The winner's Eric and Kelly Brock-owned Best Performance Motorsports Rocket Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and is sponsored by Industrial Resourcing Group, Roberts Bee Company, First Class Septic, Bazell Race Fuels, Lucas Oil Products, Sunoco Race Fuels, Keyser, Franklin Enterprises, KBC Graphics, Boxo, and Corey Frazier State Farm Insurance. Completing the top ten were Tanner English, Johnny Scott, Hudson O'Neal, Devin Moran, and Tyler Bruening.
