ERB TAKES THE BOHLANDER 100 AT PEORIA SPEEDWAY
 by Jeff Adams
(PEORIA, IL) 2007 UMP National Champion Dennis Erb of Carpentersville dueled 2007 NASCAR Illinois State Champion Tim Lance, for 50 laps, before finally making the pass for the lead on lap 87and holding on to win the “Don Bohlander 100” for Parkinson’s research at Peoria Speedway Saturday night.
On a cool night, the action was red-hot, with a new track configuration proving to be nearly record-breaking fast. In time trials, Davenport, IA driver Brian Harris missed the all-time track record by a mere .016 with a lap of 12.481. The top 6 qualifiers were locked into the feature event, and re-drew for the top 6 starting positions. Heat races were won by Steve Lance, Jr. and Charley Hess, setting the 20 car starting field.
Lance and Hebron, IN driver Shawn Toczek paced the field for the start of the 100 lap feature, with Lance finally getting the jump after 2 aborted re-starts. Lance held the lead over several caution periods until Erb was on his back bumper on lap 35. Erb started pressuring Lance heavily at the mid-way point, and the pair raced each other hard until Erb finally made the pass stick on lap 87. Erb held on for the $4,000 win, Lance finished 2nd, with Ryan Dauber, Lance, Jr., and Wes Steidinger rounding out the top 5. Only 7 cars were running at the checkered flag.
Joe Markle won the Sportsman feature, with Matt Musgrave winning the Hornet feature. The races were held in honor of 10 time Track Champion Don Bohlander, who has been stricken with Parkinson’s Disease. Over $14,000 was raised for Parkinson’s research and will be donated in Bohlanders’ name.
Peoria Speedway will host a regular program next Saturday night featuring Late Models, Modifieds, Sportsman, Street Stocks, Bombers and Hornets.
