With T-Mac's
Departure, Ferguson Goes National
(March
15, 2024) Two-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt
Series National Champion Tim McCreadie recently notified car owners
Donald and Gena Bradsher of his intentions to pursue another driving
opportunity and effective yesterday, is no longer associated with
Paylor Motorsports. The potent pairing conquered the ultra-competitive
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in both 2021 and 2022 and finished
a strong runner-up in the final 2020 point tally. Behind the wheel
of the Paylor Motorsports #39 machine, Tim reached victory lane
in some of the biggest races in the industry including the ‘Firecracker
100,’ the ‘North/South 100,’ the ‘Dirt Late
Model Stream,’ the ‘I-80 Nationals,’ and the ‘Jackson
100.’
“There is no ill-will at all towards Timmy for pursuing another
opportunity,” quoted Donald Bradsher earlier this morning.
“He is a stand up guy, a tremendous driver, and we accomplished
a lot together since we started back in 2020. I would have loved
to have chased our third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title
together this year, but he made a decision that he feels is best
for him personally. Gena (Bradsher) and myself wish Timmy and his
family nothing but the best moving forward!” |
