According to sources, both at RCR and locally, the Watertown, NY native Tim McCreadie has reached a deal with Richard Childress Racing to drive in the Winston West West Series in 2007. “Tim will be competing in the Winston West Series next year, for RCR’s Driver Development Program,” a source at RCR’s PR Dept. has stated.”The plan right now is for Tim to participate in all 14 West Series events for next season. If all goes well and we have no reason to think it won’t, Tim will move up to either the Busch or Craftsman Truck Series in 2008. Tim is a very talented driver and we at RCR are very excited about him coming on board and helping RCR get back to the top.” The deal will allow “T Mac” to drive in select WoO Late Model and Modified Series events on the DIRT circuit.(localtrax.com)(11-30-2006)
UPDATE: “Nothing is official yet, I haven’t signed any contracts, but right now it appears it’s heading that way for me,” said McCreadie, 32, who has been testing a Busch Series car the past two days. “Richard Childress has been very good to me with this deal because, as a former driver himself, he understands what I’m trying to do,” McCreadie said. “Any contracts, however, won’t be ready for a few more weeks.”(Syracuse Post-Dispatch)(12-3-2006)
