Ø What A Dad: McCreadie Celebrates Birth Of Son With Thrilling Victory Over Lanigan In NAPA ‘Gopher 50’ At Deer Creek Speedway Ø GREATEST RACING DEAL OF THE SUMMER ABOUT TO END Ø GEORGIA STOCK CAR RACING JULY 8, 2010 Ø DIRTcar Summer Nationals: Weather Postpones Spoon River Summer Nationals What A Dad: McCreadie Celebrates Birth Of Son With Thrilling Victory Over Lanigan In NAPA ‘Gopher 50’ At Deer Creek SpeedwaySPRING VALLEY, MN - July 7, 2010 - Tim McCreadie celebrated the arrival of his first child the best way possible – with a thrilling victory. Just two days after McCreadie’s girlfriend Karen gave birth to his son Gavin Chase, the 36-year-old star from Watertown, N.Y., flew halfway across the country and held off a furious late-race challenge from Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., to win Wednesday night’s 31st annual NAPA Auto Parts ‘Gopher 50’ at Deer Creek Speedway. The triumph – worth $11,875, including a $1,000 bonus from NAPA – was McCreadie’s fourth of the 2010 World of Outlaws Late Model Series and third in the last five tour events. “It couldn’t have been a better week,” pronounced a beaming McCreadie, whose 7-pound, 7-ounce baby boy was born at 2:39 a.m. on July 5. “I came home (from the WoO LMS holiday-weekend doubleheader in Tennessee) in time to make it for my son’s delivery. That was an experience in itself, but to top it off with a win in my first race since he was born – man, it’s too cool.” McCreadie roared off the outside pole to lead every lap of the A-Main in his Sweeteners Plus Rocket car, but he barely beat Lanigan to the finish line in a showdown of former World of Outlaws Late Model Series champions. Lanigan erased McCreadie’s full straightaway advantage during the 30-lap stretch of green-flag racing that closed the event but couldn’t complete a pass in the final frenetic circuits, falling short by a scant 0.047 of a second behind the wheel of his GottaRace.com Rocket. Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, Wis., who started 11th, steered his MB Customs mount into third place on lap 34 and stayed there to the finish, running just a few car lengths behind Lanigan down the stretch. Polesitter Rick Eckert of York, Pa., settled for fourth place with a Team Zero by Bloomquist car that he said became “too tight,” and fourth-starter Shane Clanton of Fayetteville, Ga., completed the top five in the RSD Enterprises Rocket after climbing as high as second early in the event. In a race that was slowed by seven cautions – all coming during the first 20 laps – McCreadie appeared headed toward a convincing victory. He held a commanding lead shortly after the halfway point was passed. But Lanigan, who started third but fell to fifth during the race’s early stages, fought back to reach second place with a pass of Eckert on lap 32. He chased down McCreadie without the benefit of a caution flag and spent the last three circuits bidding for the lead all around the three-eighths-mile oval. Lanigan clearly had the faster car at the end of the event. McCreadie, however, was savvy enough to turn back the challenge. “I know we pulled away a little over the mid-stretch, but from like lap 30 on I didn’t feel that good,” said McCreadie. “I don’t know if we overheated the right-rear tire, but I just felt like I was hanging in the center of the corners and fading. “I saw (Lanigan) get under me with a few laps to go, but I couldn’t get down there right to run as low as he was. At that point I’d run 45 some odd laps up on the cushion, so what do you do? You can’t just try to do something different.” McCreadie did direct his car to the inside groove rounding turns three and four on the final lap – a strategy that likely paid off. “I just figured that on the last lap I better go to where he is (on the bottom) because if I stayed way wide getting into three I probably would’ve gotten slid,” said McCreadie, who registered his 16th career win on the WoO LMS. “It was the last lap, you know, and it’s 10-grand on the line, so I knew that if I went (into three) where I had been the last three laps, (Lanigan) would’ve done what he had to do and cleared me. He almost had me cleared with one (lap) to go, but he gave me just enough room to get by.” McCreadie lauded Lanigan’s gentlemanly manner during the race-deciding battle: “He raced me good through three and four. He could’ve slid me twice, and he didn’t. That’s just a professional way to race. I caught him before he left (Victory Lane) and told him I appreciated the way he raced me and I’ll race him the same way in the future. I’ll try to give him every professional courtesy I can.” Lanigan, a two-time Gopher 50 winner, wasn’t interested in talking about the respect he demonstrated toward McCreadie. He actually wasn’t much interested in talking about the race at all. Sitting dejectedly in the window of his car just beyond McCreadie’s post-race celebration, Lanigan was asked to describe the final laps. He said only that they were “close,” and when asked whether he would have done anything different if he could re-run the race, he tersely responded, “Nope.” “We just can’t get a win,” said Lanigan, who has fallen short several times since his lone WoO LMS victory this season, on March 19 at Ocala (Fla.) Speedway. “We were coming, but (McCreadie) moved to the bottom to block me. That’s what you’re supposed to do when you’re leading the race. I’d would’ve done the same thing.” Finishing in positions 6-10 was 17th-starter Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, Iowa; Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky., who ran in the top five for the race’s first 17 laps; Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa.; rookie Austin Hubbard of Seaford, Del., who pitted on lap seven after being collected when Brady Smith of Solon Springs, Wis., spun into the inside berm in turn four; and defending WoO LMS champion Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., who started fifth but struggled throughout the race. Richards saw his points lead shrink to 16 points over McCreadie, who shaved 20 markers off the deficit he faced entering the opening event of the four-race ‘Wild West Tour.’ Chad Simpson of Mt. Vernon, Iowa, finished 12th, earning himself the $500 WoO LMS ‘Bonus Bucks’ cash for being the highest-finishing driver who has never won a tour A-Main and wasn’t ranked among the top 12 in the points standings. A field of 38 cars was signed in for the Gopher 50, which was part of the WoO LMS for the sixth consecutive year. A big crowd turned out despite a threat of thunderstorms. Francis was the fastest qualifier during the Ohlins Shocks Time Trials with a lap of 14.949 seconds. It was his first fast-time honor of the 2010 season. Heat winners were Francis, Richards, McCreadie and Eckert, each of whom earned $100 bonuses from NAPA for their efforts. The B-Mains were captured by Birkhofer and Andrew McKay of Edina, Minn. WoO LMS regular Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., entered the evening’s action just two days after undergoing an emergency appendectomy, but he was too sore to race competitively. He gained entry to the A-Main with a provisional spot but only circled the track during the pace laps to collect last-place points. The WoO LMS ‘Wild West Tour’ continues on Thursday night (July 8) at Superior (Wis.) Speedway before heading to River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., on Fri., July 9, and Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron, S.D., on Sat., July 10.

Celebrity racing returns to Atlanta Motor Speedway’s Friday Night Drags on Friday, July 9 for the second-of-three FastLife Friday events, and a legend of drag racing, Ricky Gadson, the King of AMA Sportbike Racing, is scheduled to participate. In addition to the celebrity racing and accompanying music and entertainment for FastLife Fridays, week nine of Friday Night Drags will feature 15 classes of straight-line speed on Atlanta Motor Speedway’s eighth-mile drag strip, a Show-N-Shine car show with six classes of show cars, and a special Ford Owner’s Rally class. www.atlantamotorspeedway.com The ARCA Iowa Speedway Prairie Meadows 200 Saturday will be multiple-times champion Frank Kimmel's 400th start, and four with Georgia connections are entered: Chris Buescher, 17, a development driver for Roush-Fenway Racing, won at Toledo in May, driving with the support of David Ragan. Casey Roderick, of Lawrenceville, will be in the No. 51 Bill Elliott Driver Development Dodge. Roderick finished an ARCA career-best 2nd at Rockingham Speedway in 2009 and won the pole on the Palm Beach Int'l Raceway road course earlier this year. Max Gresham, 17, of Griffin, could be a force to be reckoned with. In his one and only ARCA start earlier this year at Salem Speedway, Gresham won the pole and finished 6th in the race. He won the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race at Iowa in May. Another rookie entered is Smyrna's Kyle Fowler, entered in the No. 6 Alabama Air National Guard Toyota for Eddie Sharp Racing (ESR). Fowler made one start for ESR earlier this year at Toledo where he started 13th and finished 15th. The race is live on SPEED TV at 9:00 p.m. Sat. www.MaxGresham.com Max Gresham made his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series road course event a memorable one racing his way to a third-place finish in the K&N 100 at Lime Rock Park Saturday. www.MaxGresham.com Shane Clanton, who now calls Fayetteville home, took full advantage of the opportunity presented to him on Saturday night, continuing his early-summer hot streak with a decisive victory in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series ‘Coca-Cola 50’ at Tazewell (TN) Speedway. Clanton, who also started from the pole on Friday night at Wartburg (Tenn.) Speedway but settled for a runner-up finish in the 50-lap A-Main, led the entire distance on Saturday evening before a near-capacity crowd that turned out for the national tour’s first-ever visit to the high-banked, one-third-mile oval. He repelled several challenges from Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky., and barely escaped two incidents en route to his third WoO LMS triumph of 2010 and the 14th of his career. “I let two races go this year (failed to win after starting from the pole) so I wasn’t gonna lose another one,” said Clanton, who earned $10,500. “After Michelle (Davies, his girlfriend and designated position drawer) picked me the pole, I told her, ‘If you do your job, I’ll do mine.’” Clint Smith, of Senoia, captured the B-Main, and finished ninth.. Next: the four-race ‘Wild West Tour’ on Wed., July 7, with the ‘Gopher 50’ at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn. The swing also features events on Thurs., July 8, at Superior (Wis.) Speedway; Fri., July 9, at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D.; and Sat., July 10, at Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron, S.D. www.worldofoutlaws.com. 2010 World of Outlaws Late Model Series Point Standings as of July 3 – 24 A-Mains completed (rank/driver/points/deficit to leader): 1.

Clint Smith 2886 (-380) Tim McCreadie scrawled his name all over Friday night’s first-ever World of Outlaws Late Model Series event at Wartburg Speedway, leading every lap of the ‘Invasion 50’ presented by All-State Trailers of Knoxville. It was his third victory of 2010 on the national tour didn’t come without one especially anxious moment. McCreadie, 36, of Watertown, N.Y., slid out of the preferred inside groove when he bumped a slower car between turns three and four on lap 41. The run-in nearly cost him the lead, but he regained control before Shane Clanton could sneak by, and held on for the remainder of the distance in front of a huge crowd that promoter Scott Green called the biggest in Wartburg Speedway’s history. Clint Smith, of Senoia, Ga., started and finished fourth in his Rocket mount – recording just his second top-five run of 2010 The much-anticipated WoO LMS stop at Wartburg was a nightmare for the track’s top weekly Late Model competitor, Anthony White, of Clinton, Tenn. A winner six times in eight starts this season at Wartburg, the 38-year-old racer never turned an official lap in racing competition on Friday. White was scheduled to start fourth in the third heat but was black-flagged before the race began because he spent several pace laps refusing to fall to the rear of the field as a penalty for reporting late to the staging area. Later, an opening-lap tangle in the second B-Main left his car with night-ending damage. Next: the four-race WoO LMS ‘Wild West Tour,’ which visits Deer Creek Speedway (MN) July 7, Superior (Wis.) Speedway on July 8; River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., on July 9; and Dakota State Fair Speedway on July 10. Clint Smith was the ’06 winner at Deer Creek.

Promotion idea: NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series officials have announced that the National Touring event at Mountain Raceway Park in Maryville, TN on July 10 will be a 50-lap $3,000-to-win one-day show. The event was originally scheduled to be a $4,000-to-win two-day show, but the series has cut it back to a one-day show for economic reasons. “In the current economy, it is getting more difficult to ask the teams and the race fans to spend more money in race tickets and expenses to see in two days what they can see in one day,” NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Founder and Director Mike Vaughn said. “It was in everyone’s best interest financially to pull the show back to one day, and still put on a complete show.” Fans witnessed history Thursday night as Masters feature winner Skip Nichols of Albany surpassed Doug Stevens as the all-time feature win leader with 28 Thursday Thunder victories at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Fans were also treated to a pre-celebratory Fourth of July fireworks extravaganza from Marco’s Pizza upon the completion of the seven classes of racing.
