Just over a week ago the Coffey-McCreadie Enterprises, Sweetners Plus number 39 was sitting in the body bay at Bicknell Racing Products being assembled. It was a team effort to get the car ready for delivery, from wiring to parts and body panel installation, it was all hand on deck so the car could be turned over to the Coffey-McCreadie team to finish for the Big Show this past Tuesday evening at Albany-Saratoga.

“Some things just work out” explained McCreadie, who had a great performance holding off Matt Sheppard, Stewart Friesen and many others. McCreadie was fast from the gate. Although it as a long race, 100 laps to be exact, McCreadie soon moved into the second spot. Knowing he had a fast car, he kept applying pressure to then leader, Larry Wight. McCreadie would fall back a few laps later as Stewart Friesen would move his way up through the pack to secure the second spot. McCreadie now falling back to third, would be challenged by Matt Sheppard who would also get by. Now sitting fourth right up until lap 74 when the caution would come out and McCreadie would have a chance at the lead again.

With the field bunched up, McCreadie hit the gas on the restart, and the car seemed to take off like a rocket. In 1 lap McCreadie took the lead, blasting around the outside of the track, riding the cushion. He seemed to have a definite advantage over the rest of the field. However things would change in the last 10 laps of the race.

McCreadie would hit lap traffic and the field would start to close in behind him, making up ground corner by corner. McCreadie was able to hold on to claim his first Big Block win since 2011 and take home the ten thousand dollar pay out.

Congratulations to Tim McCreadie and the entire Coffey-McCreadie Enterprises Team!
