LOCUST GROVE, AR (August 18, 2017) – Tim McCreadie and Don O’Neal will start from the front row for Saturday night’s 25th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100 – Presented by Crop Production Services. McCreadie was the overall Miller Welders Fast Qualifier for the night and dominated his heat race to earn the pole position for the 100-lap crown jewel event, paying $40,000-to-win.

In heat one, Earl Pearson Jr. chased McCreadie across the line in the first 15-lap heat. Shannon Babb; a two-time Topless 100 victor; finished third.

In heat race number two, Richards drove to the front after race-leader Hudson O’Neal went high in turn two, relinquishing the lead to Richards. Hudson O’Neal; the leading rookie driver on the series; finished in second with Gregg Satterlee taking the third spot.

The third heat saw Scott Bloomquist outduel Don O’Neal for the win, but after the race Bloomquist weighed in 45 pounds light and was moved to the end of the finishing order. O’Neal will now start alongside McCreadie on the front row. Robert Baker was moved to second place at the finish with Garrett Alberson taking third.

The fourth and final heat race of the night saw two-time Topless 100 winner Jimmy Owens taking the win. Darrell Lanigan finished in second to earn his first Topless 100 start since 2004.
