McCreadie Outduels Lanigan Down The Stretch For Victory In Fulton Bank 50 At Delaware International Speedway
New Yorker Claims Second World of Outlaws Late Model Series Triumph Of 2013
By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director
DELMAR, DE – May 30, 2013 – Tim McCreadie wasn’t going to let another World of Outlaws Late Model Series A-Main slip through his fingers.
Erasing memories of several recent disappointments on the national tour, McCreadie outdueled Darrell Lanigan down the stretch to capture Thursday night’s Fulton Bank 50 at Delaware International Speedway.
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.’s 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.
A field of 31 cars was signed in for the program, which was run in summer-like conditions.
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.
Heat winners were Lanigan, Kenny Pettyjohn of Millsboro, Del., and Clanton. Pettyjohn’s heat victory was his first-ever in WoO LMS competition.
DIS regular Andrew Mullins of Bethel, Del., captured the 12-lap B-Main in his first-ever WoO LMS appearance.
The WoO LMS has a day off before making its first visit of 2013 to the Empire State on Saturday night (June 1) for a 50-lap A-Main at Stateline Speedway in Busti, N.Y.
