DAVENPORT, Iowa — Unlike the last time he showed up to Davenport Speedway, everything went Dennis Erb Jr.’s way Wednesday at the quarter-mile oval. “We’re just back where we need to be right now,” Erb said. We’ve had some good runs here; off a little bit a couple nights. All told, Zeigler led the opening 18 laps, but was quickly met by Erb in a side-by-side battle for the lead that lasted from laps 15 to 21. Erb edged Zeigler by .047 seconds to lead 19 before Zeigler countered to lead laps 20 and 21 by .254 and .020 seconds. Erb at one point mounted a 2.7-second lead, which O’Neal trimmed to as little as .764 seconds with three laps to go. I figured as much as I tried it, it wasn’t very good.
