Tim McCreadie Tops Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ 100 Opener
Championship Night Set for Saturday at Magnolia Motor Speedway

Columbus, Mississippi (11/13/20) – Over 170 racecars crammed into the pits at Magnolia Motor Speedway on Friday evening for the opening round of the 2020 edition of the Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ 100.

Thirty-four Super Late Models went into battle in the $4,000-to-win opener, and Tim McCreadie overtook polesitter Billy Moyer Jr. halfway through the feature en route to his first win at the 4/10-mile oval.

“Early in the race he (Billy Moyer Jr.) was in the spot where I wanted to be on the track, but as the race went on my groove really came in. I know this race has been around for a long time, and I’ve been wanting to get here, but until this year it just didn’t work out schedule wise,” McCreadie said in Victory Lane. “This is a brand-new car so it’s pretty great to debut it with a win. We’ll tweak on it and get ready for tomorrow.”

Moyer Jr., Mike Marlar, Chris Madden and Spencer Hughes completed the Top-5 finishers.

Thirty-two Mississippi Street Stock Series (MSSS) competitors were on hand, and French Camp, Mississippi driver, Shelby Sheedy set fast time in qualifications. T.J. Herndon, Shay Knight, and Jamie Sudduth scored heat race wins.

Kosciusko, Mississippi’s Brett White made his return to Magnolia Motor Speedway and set fast time over the 39 Glenn’s BBQ and Fish Sportsman competitors. White then won the first heat race to earn the pole position for Saturday’s $1,500-to-win feature. Other heat winners were Morgen Lambert, Tyler Burgess, and Cody Chism.

With 30 Crate Racin’ USA Late Models in the pits, Evan Ellis set fast time in qualifications. The Plantersville, Mississippi racer won his heat race and will start on the pole position in Saturday’s $3,000-to-win main event. He’ll be joined on the front row by Alabama’s Jeremy Shaw. Randall Beckwith won the third heat race.

Johnny Pannell from Baldwyn, Mississippi won the opening Ranch House Diner Factory Stock heat race, while Bryant Fortner and Scooter Ware added heat wins. Twenty-six drivers were in action in the division.

Rusty Duncan and Shane Stephens scored respective heat wins in Modified Sportsman competition.

The weekend draws to a close on Saturday as B-Mains for all divisions will be contested along with a complete $12,000-to-win/ $700-to-start program for the Super Late Models, and a complete Hot Shots program. Last but not least, the Magnolia State Cotton Pickin’ Championships feature events will be held for all divisions.
