Top-5 finish for Tim McCreadie in Jackson 100 at Brownstown Speedway
For the second-straight week in a row Tim McCreadie piloted the Valvoline / Seubert Calf Ranches No. 1 Rocket1 Racing / Ace Metal Works / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model to a fourth-place finish in a crown jewel event.
His latest Top-5 performance in a mega event came on Saturday night in Brownstown Speedway’s 45th annual Jackson 100.
“We had a pretty good car all weekend, but Friday night I made a miscue and got crossed up in the feature and had to go to the back. It was unfortunate because we didn’t get to show what we had that night, but we bounced back on Saturday to finish fourth in the Jackson 100, and that’s a testament to our great team,” McCreadie said. “We’re looking forward to Eldora (Speedway) this week and the Dirt Track World Championship. It would be awesome to wrap up what has been a chaotic Lucas Oil (Late Model Dirt Series) season with a $100,000 win event.”
Action with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) brought the Rocket1 Racing team and Tim McCreadie to Brownstown (Ind.) Speedway over the weekend for the 45th annual Jackson 100.
With Friday’s event paying homage to the late C.J. Rayburn, McCreadie qualified fourth-fastest in his group before placing second in his heat race. Chasing a $10,000 preliminary payday in the feature, Tim rallied to finish 19th after going to the tail of the field early in the 40-lapper.
On Saturday, Tim secured his spot into the $50,000-to-win Jackson 100 with a runner-up outing in his heat race. Taking the green from the fifth-starting spot, McCreadie muscled forward one spot in the 100-lap affair to record a fourth-place finish.
He pursued Mike Marlar, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Bobby Pierce across the line.
Tim is currently fourth in the Big River Steel Chase for the Championship point standings.
