New Yorker Claims Second World of Outlaws Late Model Series Triumph Of 2013<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"053013_DelawareVL\"DELMAR, DE \u2013 May 30, 2013 \u2013 Tim McCreadie wasn\u2019t going to let another World of Outlaws Late Model Series A-Main slip through his fingers.<\/p>\n

Erasing memories of several recent disappointments on the national tour, McCreadie outdueled Darrell Lanigan down the stretch to capture\u00a0Thursday\u00a0night\u2019s Fulton Bank 50 at Delaware International Speedway.<\/p>\n

McCreadie, 39, of Watertown, N.Y., started on the outside pole and led all but one lap en route to his second WoO LMS triumph of 2013, but he found himself in a dogfight with Union, Ky.\u2019s Lanigan over the final 10 circuits. After Lanigan slipped ahead to lead lap 43, McCreadie regained command the following circuit and made all the right moves the rest of the way to defeat the defending World of Outlaws champion by 0.875 of a second.<\/p>\n

It was a satisfying $10,650 win for McCreadie, who snapped a run of tough luck with his Sweeteners Plus Warrior car.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a bunch of races leading with no results for us lately, so this is nice,\u201d said McCreadie, who over the past two weeks suffered heartbreaking losses on May 11 at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark. (tangled with lapped car while leading with five laps to go) and May 25 at Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne, W.Va. (flat tire while in front). \u201cThe Warrior car\u2019s been fast but we haven\u2019t had anything to show for it. It was just our day this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rick Eckert of York, Pa., finished a hard-earned third. He charged forward from the 14th<\/sup>\u00a0starting spot to reach the show position on lap 36 and shrank a near-straightaway deficit to Lanigan to a few car lengths within 10 laps, but he overheated his tires running down the leaders and thus was unable to mount a challenge.<\/p>\n

Ricky Elliott of Seaford, Del., who entered the event undefeated in five dirt Late Model starts this season at DIS, finished fourth after starting fifth and climbing as high as third. It marked the third time in nine WoO LMS events at DIS that he placed fourth.<\/p>\n

Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., finished fifth. He started from the pole position but was outgunned for the lead by McCreadie at the initial green and gradually fell through the top five, finally settling into fifth place when Eckert sailed by him on lap 36.<\/p>\n

McCreadie held firm control of the top spot for most of the distance, maintaining a half- to full-second edge until Lanigan pulled close late in the race. Lanigan nosed his Rocket machine underneath McCreadie for the first time on lap 40 and eventually surged in front as lap 43 was scored, but the winningest WoO LMS driver in 2013 couldn\u2019t make the pass stick.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trying to run that middle-to-the-top (line) and he pretty much drove right on by me,\u201d McCreadie said of Lanigan. \u201cI just thought, Oh my God, I just gave this one away. But then he just slipped up in (turns) one and two.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we were lucky that Darrell just slipped up a little bit off of (turn) two (the following lap) and I could get back by him. Then we just held on.<\/p>\n

\u201cDarrell\u2019s been the guy the last three years,\u201d he added, \u201cand anytime you can get lucky enough to beat him, we\u2019ll take it for Sweeteners Plus and our whole program.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a fresh ProPower engine under his car\u2019s hood, McCreadie registered his 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0career victory on the WoO LMS and first-ever at the half-mile Delaware oval. His previous win this year came on\u00a0April 20\u00a0at 311 Motor Speedway in Pine Hall, N.C.<\/p>\n

Lanigan, who will celebrate his 43rd<\/sup>\u00a0birthday on\u00a0June 3, fell short in his bid for a circuit-leading fifth win of 2013. He was coming off a $15,000-plus triumph in\u00a0Sunday\u00a0night\u2019s Jackpot 100 by NAPA Auto Parts finale at Tyler County.<\/p>\n

\u201c(McCreadie) changed his groove a little bit and went down to the bottom and kind of blocked our groove,\u201d said Lanigan, who ran his streak of top-three finishes to six in a row. \u201cBut that\u2019s what you\u2019re supposed to do. Timmy had a good car tonight. We come home second and we\u2019re happy with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eckert, 47, might have been able to turn the race into a three-car battle for the winner\u2019s check if he had caught the right break in the closing laps.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would\u2019ve really liked to have a caution when I got to third there,\u201d said Eckert. \u201cThey (McCreadie and Lanigan) were a straightaway ahead, and until I run \u2018em down I had my tires overheated from running so hard. If I could\u2019ve cooled \u2018em down during a caution I think we would\u2019ve had a shot at it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s what you get when you qualify terrible. I dug us a hole and didn\u2019t dig us all the way out.\u201d<\/p>\n

WoO LMS points leader Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., finished a quiet sixth, improving one position from where he started. Austin Hubbard of Seaford, Del., who switched to his backup car after his primary machine was sidelined by engine trouble during hot laps, was next in seventh place; Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., placed eighth; Dan Stone of Thompson, Pa., hustled forward from the 20th<\/sup>starting spot to finish ninth; and DIS regular Andrew Mullins of Bethel, Del., smoothly advanced from the 19th<\/sup>\u00a0starting spot to complete the top 10 in his first career WoO LMS appearance.<\/p>\n

Just two caution flags slowed the event. Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., was left spun in turn four on the 15th<\/sup>\u00a0lap after an apparent scrape with Mark Pettyjohn of Milton, Del., and Vic Coffey of Caledonia, N.Y., spun off turn four on lap 28 while running eighth.<\/p>\n

A field of 31 cars was signed in for the program, which was run in summer-like conditions.<\/p>\n

David Williams of Mechanicsville, Md., was quickest in Ohlins Shocks Time Trials with a lap of 19.264 seconds. It was the first-ever WoO LMS fast-time honor for the four-time champion at Potomac Speedway in Budds Creek, Md.<\/p>\n

Heat winners were Lanigan, Kenny Pettyjohn of Millsboro, Del., and Clanton. Pettyjohn\u2019s heat victory was his first-ever in WoO LMS competition.<\/p>\n

Mullins captured the 12-lap B-Main.<\/p>\n

The WoO LMS has a day off before making its first visit of 2013 to the Empire State\u00a0on Saturday\u00a0night (June 1) for a 50-lap A-Main at Stateline Speedway in Busti, N.Y.<\/p>\n
