Sheldon Creed sweeps Stadium Super Trucks weekend
with win in race No. 2 in Detroit

VICTORY COMES AFTER FOURTH-PLACE FINISH IN TRANS AM MUSCLE CAR CHALLENGE

JUNE 4, 2017 -- Detroit, MI -- Arizona’s Sheldon Creed, 19, has made it a clean sweep of the Speed Energy Stadium Super Trucks races in Detroit.

The teenager handled the pressure from series veterans such as Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Paul “The Dude” Morris with aplomb, driving to victory both Saturday and Sunday in his No. 1 Safecraft Safety Equipment truck.

Earlier on Sunday, Creed showed what a natural talent he is, coming from 14th on the grid in the Trans Am Muscle Car Challenge TA2 class race to finish a hard-charging fourth.

Matthew Brabham (Queensland, Australia) finished second to Creed on Sunday in Robby Gordon’s truck series with Gavin Harlien (Arizona) a fighting third.

Creed is also driving in the ARCA (oval/road-racing) Series this season. He finished sixth at Nashville.

“It was a great weekend for us,” said Creed. “The truck was really set up. I held off Matt (Brabham), and he’s a super driver. I very pleased with the results.”

Creed didn’t put a tire wrong all weekend.

“Just tried to stay smooth as possible and hit my marks,” said Creed, who has also run desert trucks and motorcycles. “It worked pretty well.”

Atila Abreu started on pole and finished eighth.
