The 2017 North/South 100 at Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky proved to be one for the history books. A battle among Tim McCreadie, Scott Bloomquist, and Bobby Pierce came down to the final three laps of the main event. On lap 97 McCreadie passed race-leader Scott Bloomquist using the outside line. He brought Bobby Pierce to Second, then had to fend off the defending race winner.
“I think we all have learned a lot from Bobby [Pierce] – if there is something out there you need to run it,” McCreadie said. “Bobby and I probably raced a bit too clean; we had an issue at the Show-Me. I appreciate that he ran me clean. He [Pierce] is turning into a true professional. He could have raced me dirty, but he didn’t.”
McCreadie earned $50,000 in his first-ever win in the North/South 100. Pierce came home Second with Bloomquist finishing Third. Jimmy Owens – who led the first 17 laps – finished Fourth. Darrell Lanigan rounded out the Top Five.
