McCreadie scores LODLMS Silver Dollar Nationals victory

By Series PR

GREENWOOD, Neb. - Tim McCreadie took the lead on lap 21 and never looked back as he went on to the biggest win of his career on Saturday night at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska.

The New York native earned $53,000 for his win in the 7th Annual Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals. It was McCreadie’s fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season.

Polesitter Steve Francis led the first 11 laps of the race until former event winner Don O’Neal took over the top spot. Just a few circuits later, O’Neal and second-place running Brian Shirley made contact in the middle of the backstretch as both cars got into the wall. Both cars kept going as Shirley suffered minimal damage, but O’Neal’s nose-piece was heavily damaged and he started to lose spots in the running order.

McCreadie surged underneath both O’Neal and Shirley to take the lead on lap 21. McCreadie then had to hold off a hard-charging Brandon Sheppard, at the finish to earn the victory. Kyle Bronson placed third. Scott Bloomquist and Shannon Babb both rallied from the tail after making pit stops to finish fourth and fifth.

“Thanks to all the fans for coming out tonight,” McCreadie said. “When I heard them say Sheppard was second on that final restart. I thought, wow, because he started in the back. On that last restart, my crew motioned for me to go out further on the track from where I was running. They showed me where Brandon was running. Holy cow, $53,000, that’s a lot of money. After Don (O’Neal) and Shirley got together I just got by them. My car was good on the bottom anyway so I just stayed there.”

Completing the top ten were Earl Pearson Jr., Brian Shirley, Chris Simpson, Hudson O’Neal, and Don O’Neal.
