Throughout 2024, Dan Creeden faced a challenging racing season marked by both triumphs and setbacks. Despite the difficulties, he secured the Penn Can Speedway track championship and achieved four feature wins, demonstrating remarkable resilience.

Team Creeden made strategic changes, including switching their regular tracks. While Friday nights at Penn-Can proved challenging, the move to New Egypt Speedway on Saturdays offered a fresh start and better racing environment.

A significant early-season crash at New Egypt Speedway posed a major setback, but thanks to friend Donnie Elliott's support with a replacement frame, the team bounced back. Throughout the season, they faced various challenges with motors and car setup.
