CONCORD, N.C. — When Heather Lyne walked into Dennis Erb Jr.’s race shop 21 years ago to join his race team, a single thought went through his head. “As we talked more and said she worked on her dad’s car, that she was mechanically inclined, and the things that she does at work. “I think it shows my dedication to this sport,” Lyne said. “It’s just another accomplishment we got,” Erb said. “For her to go out and be a part of this and win that, it makes me feel good, too, because it’s something she works hard for. If you’re at the racetrack, you’ll see Lyne and Erb working together to get the car ready – as the only two crew members. I let her take and do things and everything she works on; I don’t have to worry about that.
