Tim McCreadie managed to come away with another early season Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory Wednesday night at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Florida.

He inherited the lead with five laps to go after race leader Jonathan Davenport’s misfortune. Davenport, from Blairsville, Georgia, appeared to be on his way to victory, but hooked a rut in turn four, folding his nosepiece under and causing his car to come to a halt on the front stretch. Kyle Bronson was unfortunate victim of circumstance, as he did not have time to slow his car down. Bronson made heavy contact with the back of Davenport’s car, eliminating both from competition.

McCreadie was second at the time of the race changing incident. He picked up the lead, and then held off Evans, Georgia’s Brandon Overton and Brandon Sheppard for his second series victory in four starts this season.

It marks McCreadie’s 17th career series win, and his fourth ever at East Bay Raceway Park.

Overton now has three runner-up finishes in the first four series events of 2020. Sheppard finished a close third, with Tyler Erb in fourth and Brian Shirley in fifth.

McCreadie and Davenport made up the front row for the 40-lap feature Davenport led the first three laps of the race in a tight battle with McCreadie. McCreadie would gain the lead briefly on lap four, but a lap later Davenport forged his way back to the point.

Dennis Erb, Jr. stepped up to battle with McCreadie for second as they both trailed Davenport. Erb grabbed the second spot for two laps, but McCreadie fought back as the two had a spirited race for second.

At the halfway mark, Davenport was still in front, but by this time Overton had overtaken McCreadie for second. A caution on lap 23 would bunch the field up as McCreadie charged back to second, this time around Overton. A caution on lap 28 would again set a race restart with 12 circuits left.

On the ensuing restart, Davenport stretched his lead back out as a torrid race for second was going on between McCreadie and Overton. With five laps go, Davenport entered turn four, hopped in the air and when he came down, the right front of his nosepiece folded under his car. At this point, he could not steer the car and was forced into the frontstretch wall. Both McCreadie and Overton dived underneath the disabled car of Davenports but fourth place running Bronson did not have time to react and smashed into the back of Davenports car.

“It’s exciting. I love winning, but you want to get it by passing the best,” said McCreadie. “Tonight, we had some luck, and we’ll take it and go on to tomorrow. It’s such a pleasure to race with J.D (Davenport). We became real close last year and I was fully prepared to shake his hand here, because it looked like he had us just covered enough. It looks like there’s just such a bad hole off (turn) four and the bumper drug it or something. I think the worst part about it is that you can’t see (the hole). It’s covered up with fine crumbs, so you don’t really know where it is until you get there. I hate what happened to J.D., his team has helped us tremendously.”

Jimmy Owens, Devin Moran, Shane Clanton, Mike Marlar and Mason Zeigler rounded out the top ten.
