He\u2019s now got six DIRTcar Late Model wins, five Super DIRTcar Series wins, and two World of Outlaws Late Model wins at the #FLinFeb staple.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from the pole position aboard his Longhorn Chassis #39, the Watertown, NY native immediately scooted to the race lead and never let it go. He encountered one close call through lap traffic and had to survive a hungry Mark Whitener in the closing stages, but there was nothing to stop the former World of Outlaws champion from clinching the wire-to-wire win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know of knew what to do, I just had to lay into the cushion until somebody drove by me somewhere else,\u201d McCreadie noted. \u201cI kept seeing Phil and he gave me some great hand signals. It\u2019s always nice to get a win down here during speedweeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even with all of his success at the Barberville, FL half-mile, McCreadie has yet to score a DIRTcar Nationals Big Gator Championship. That\u2019s a stat he could change this week, especially considering his strong start with a W.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just lucky to do this, and I just appreciate what everyone does for me,\u201d McCreadie said. \u201cI don\u2019t do as much as I used to, these guys they pick all the slack if I need to take a nap because I\u2019m getting old. It\u2019s not easy. Every one of us is trying as hard as we can out here, but sometimes it\u2019s not your night, so we\u2019ll take this. We know we\u2019ve got another day tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chasing McCreadie to the line and making it interesting down the stretch was Mark Whitener, who gave it his all in the #5. After starting fourth, Whitener went searching and slid by Devin Moran then Kyle Bronson to get to the runner-up spot. He kept his run alive by tracking down McCreadie, but the clock ran out and the 30-lapper went checkered before he could make a move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had to hunt something down to pass him, I found something when I got to second,\u201d Whitener thought. \u201cI started losing the ass end of the car getting into the corner though, and I just couldn\u2019t hang with him on the top. I never could pull up to his bumper to get a slidejob on him. All in all, a really good finish for us against these guys.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the podium on night one of the DIRTcar Nationals was Devin Moran of Dresden, OH.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish we could\u2019ve started on the front row to see what we could\u2019ve given Timmy,\u201d Moran said. \u201cMark moved around more than I did in the middle part and he just got up there sooner than me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Closing out the top ten in Monday\u2019s program, which included a 51-car field, was Kyle Bronson, Bobby Pierce, Brandon Sheppard, Brandon Overton, Josh Richards, Rick Eckert and Tyler Bruening.<\/p>\n<p>The action resumes at Volusia Speedway Park on Tuesday, Feb. 9 with the second night of Late Model Week at the 50<sup>th<\/sup> DIRTcar Nationals.
