COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS)
McCreadie's Second Win in Seven Days Comes in Boothill Debut
GREENWOOD, LA (October 11, 2025) – Tim McCreadie had never been to Boothill Speedway prior to Friday night’s Bayou Classic, but it didn’t look like it.
After winning his Heat Race to grab the fourth starting spot, the Watertown, NY native came out on top of a slider fest for the lead and drove away to the victory, which came in the event that pitted the World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision vs. the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series Super Late Models.
“When we hot lapped, I felt good. I wasn’t the fastest when we time trialed, I got a little more of the cushion, felt even better,” McCreadie said. “It was just a matter of balancing the car. They didn’t do so much work that it was really heavy and it was kind of racy. I just do what I normally do. This stuff blended to my roots, maybe, with the Modifieds, where you’ve got to keep the car straight, keep it underneath you. Keep the panels and everything on it and do your best.”
Early in the 30-lap sprint, it looked like it may be Bobby Pierce’s night to get back to Victory Lane, as he powered away from Bilstein Pole Award winner Cody Overton on the outside. Slower traffic wasn’t an issue for Pierce, as he maintained a comfortable advantage until the first caution of the race came out for debris with 13 laps on the board.
McCreadie made the most of the restart to get by Overton and into second, while Cade Dillard had marched his way forward from eighth to get to third behind him. The race for the lead was quickly turned up a notch, as McCreadie ran down Pierce and made contact with him going into Turn 1, with both drivers able to continue on. Before McCreadie could make another bid for the top spot, Ethan Dotson slowed with a flat tire to bring out another yellow.
The ensuing restart produced some of the best racing of the night, with Dillard throwing it into Turn 1 from third to briefly grab the lead from Pierce. The No. 32 crossed him back over down the backstretch, but lost momentum allowed McCreadie to get to the inside of both of them and get out front. One more caution flew with six to go, but McCreadie was able to fend off Pierce’s final slider attempt and cruise home to the checkered flag.
The victory puts McCreadie only four points shy of Ryan Gustin in the battle for third in points with four races to go and established him as the second-winningest driver on tour in 2025 behind Pierce. Those numbers would have seemed unthinkable for the Briggs Transport crew five months ago after their sluggish start, which only included one top five in the first 11 races of the season.
“It was a struggle at the beginning of the year,” McCreadie said. “Normally, we persevere and try to get through it, but as my career has gotten to where it’s on the other side of how much time I’ve got left, we made a decision to do something that I’ve been used to doing, which was these [Longhorn] cars. It seemed to help us, everybody’s been helping us a lot. We’re just trying to do the best we can every night we go out there.”
Pierce’s runner-up put him back on a World of Outlaws podium for the first time in four races and extended his lead over Nick Hoffman to 112 points in his quest for a second championship.
“On the restart that I had when I was in the lead, the bottom guy definitely got a jump,” Pierce said. “They’re trying to get the best start they can, so I picked the bottom then. It definitely was the place to be on the initial restart, and then you kind of had to get back up top. Cody showed his hand there on the bottom, he was really good. It kind of transitioned there at the end, it started to rubber up but it never quite did, so you still had a little bit of a bottom and a top.”
Overton crossed the line third for his first podium since the season opener at Volusia Speedway Park in January, matching his career best with the Series in the process.
“I really thought my car was pretty good tonight,” Overton said. “Five, six, seven laps in, the canister fell off and it broke. Started riding a wheelie and I looked like John Force right there for a minute there at the end. I was kind of hoping they were all going to wreck each other and some cool stuff was going to happen and I was going to drive by them, but that didn’t go as planned.”
Hoffman finished fourth to minimize the points loss to Pierce, while Dennis Erb Jr. was fifth with his eighth top 10 in his last 10 Series starts.
