McCreadie led all the way driving the No. 39 Sweetners Plus sponsored, Rocket Chassis/C.C. Performance Engines Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

NEWS AND NOTES
Early Season Winners
Current World Of Outlaws Stacker 2® Late Model Series championship point leader Billy Moyer of Batesville,AR topped a 61 car field February 17th at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville,FL to score the opening victory of the 2005 World Of Outlaws Stacker 2® Late Model Series campaign. Moyer started from the pole aboard the No. 21 J&J Steel/Banner Valley Trucking/McCarthy’s One Hour Cooling and Heating sponsored C.J. Rayburn Race Cars/Pro Power Racing Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
Tim McCreadie of Watertown,NY used his experience from his 2004 “Rookie”year with the World Of Outlaws holding off a strong field of cars February 19th at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville,FL to snare his career first World Of Outlaws Stacker 2® Late Model Series victory. McCreadie led all the way driving the No. 39 Sweetners Plus sponsored, Rocket Chassis/C.C. Performance Engines Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
Steve Francis of Ashland,KY grabbed the lead from Tim McCreadie on lap 19 at “The Rock”/Allegany County Speedway in Cumberland,MD April 8th leading the final 31 laps aboard the MOPAR Performance Parts/Valvoline No. 15 Steve Francis Racing Rocket Chassis/Gary Stanton Racing,Inc. Dodge Intrepid R/T. The $10,000 win in the 50-lapper was the “Kentucky Colonel’s” first WoO Stacker 2® Late Model Series victory of the season.
“Cat Daddy”, Clint Smith of Senoia,GA turned in a dominating performance April 9th at Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway in Saluda,VA. Piloting the JP Drilling/Oval Craft No. 44 Jerry Passmore GRT Race Cars/Racetek Engines Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Smith won his qualifying heat race and the dash race then led all 50 laps of the $10,000 to win “Dixie Choppers 50 presented by Thurston Spring Service,Inc.” for his first career World Of Outlaws Stacker 2® Late Model Series victory.
Billy Moyer led all the way in the April 29th rain shortened event at Lernerville (PA) Speedway. With 25 laps of the 50 lap distance recorded and rain still falling DIRT MotorSports officials called the race complete giving “Mr. Smooth” his second visit in 2005 to the YJ Stinger ® Victory Lane. Moyers third career WoO Stacker 2® Late Model Series win was worth $10,000 for his efforts aboard the J&J Steel/Banner Valley Trucking/McCarthy’s One Hour Cooling and Heating No. 21 Billy Moyer Racing C.J. Rayburn Race Cars/Pro Power Racing Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
Chalk one up in the “W” column for Mother Nature. Heavy rain overnight and through the early morning hours April 30th and with the forecast for more inclement weather forced postponement of the $10,000 to win event at Hagerstown (MD) Speedway.
