\"2016news_10-1\"WOODSTOCK, GA (October 1, 2016) \u2013 Dale McDowell won his first Lucas Oil Dixie Shootout since 2001 on Saturday Night at Dixie Speedway. McDowell took the lead on lap 43 from race-long leader Tim McCreadie and then sprinted away for the win, his third in the annual event.<\/p>\n

McCreadie who led the first 42 laps of the race came home second in the Sweeteners Plus\/Longhorn – followed by 6-time Dixie Shootout winner and current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader, Scott Bloomquist in his Crop Production Services\/Reece Monument Company\/Sweet-Bloomquist entry. Completing the top five were Brandon Overton and Darrell Lanigan.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst off I have to thank my brother, Shane, he does all the work. Hats off to he and the guys at the shop. Thanks also to Scott [Bloomquist], we have been base-lining off of them back-and-forth, it\u2019s been pretty good,\u201d said the winner in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mom passed away five years ago yesterday. This was one of her favorite places to come to. It\u2019s awfully hard to stay in the lead at this track; he [McCreadie] was searching and searching to try to get around those lapped cars. Fortunately, we had that caution and it took us a couple of laps to get around him. I drove it in to turn one pretty hard a couple of times and it finally stuck and we were able to get by him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe car was good; it was balanced properly. I have fed off of what Scott and Cody have been doing. I have to thank Bad Boy Off-Road, University of Northwestern Ohio, Klotz, Boyd\u2019s Speedway, Boyd-Bilt, Cometic Gasket, and Clements Engines.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCreadie in his first-full year on the LOLMDS tour was left still looking for his first series win of the season. \u201cIt\u2019s a little bit easier to take when you get beat by a better car. I moved up on the track, but he [McDowell] was just too good up there. It\u2019s disappointing to lead that many laps and not get the win, but it\u2019s another podium finish and a good points night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Completing the top ten were: Don O\u2019Neal, Chris Madden, Casey Roberts, Ray Cook, and Brandon Sheppard.<\/p>\n

In preliminary action, Brandon Sheppard set the overall Miller Welders Fast Time (Group A) amongst the 51 entrants, with a lap of 13.940 seconds. Chris Madden set the fastest time in Group B with a time of 14.282 seconds. Tim McCreadie, Darrell Lanigan, Donald McIntosh, Jonathan Davenport, Jimmy Owens, and Don O\u2019Neal won their respective heat races. Casey Roberts and Mike Marlar won their respective B-Mains.<\/p>\n
