Tim McCreadie Brings Back No. 9, Returns to World of Outlaws Late Model Series
Tim McCreadie returns to the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, bringing back the iconic No. 9 as a tribute to his father, "Barefoot" Bob McCreadie. The 2006 World of Outlaws Late Models champion is making his first full-time return to the series in a decade.

After departing from Paylor Motorsports and a brief stint with Rocket1 Racing, McCreadie has found a new home with veteran racer Boom Briggs. The partnership offers unique advantages, as Briggs brings seven seasons of World of Outlaws experience and plans to continue racing part-time in 2025, allowing him to provide valuable feedback and car preparation insights.
Despite a challenging start to the 2025 season, McCreadie showed promise with a seventh-place finish at Swainsboro Raceway. The team heads to Atomic Speedway next, where McCreadie has previously claimed victories in 2006 and 2019.
"We didn't come over to the World of Outlaws to not try to fight for championships," McCreadie stated. "We put ourselves in a hole, but it's up to us to dig out."
The Watertown, NY driver remains focused on his ultimate goal: putting the No. 9 back in Victory Lane, just as his father did numerous times throughout his career. The next opportunity comes at the Fireball 50 at Atomic Speedway on April 4-5, where McCreadie aims to build on his recent momentum.
