Newsmaker of the Week // Tim McCreadie

World Of Outlaws Late Model Series past champion Tim McCreadie scored back-to-back wins this past week, winning at Ohio’s Raceway 7 last Thursday, then taking the big $20,000 to win prize at PA’s Bedford Speedway Sunday. The wins were his first with the Boom Briggs team, for whom ‘T-Mac’ started racing for this past winter.

The breakthrough scores, though, were accompanied by sorrow; Tim’s father, legendary ‘Barefoot Bob’ McCreadie, had passed away one year earlier on the exact date of the Raceway 7 victory. Tim’s racing talent was the product of the close bond he and his father forged and shared. They celebrated great victories, weathered tough losses.

With his wins last week, Tim McCreadie will have embraced anew the emotional circle with his father. In so doing, is a Newsmaker!
