Danny Creeden Secures Strong Second Place Finish at BAPS Modified Feature
Danny Creeden secured a notable second-place finish at BAPS Motor Speedway, making his long journey from Wurtsboro, NY worthwhile. Starting fifth in the 30-lap 358 Modified feature, Creeden demonstrated strong performance throughout the race, moving into second position after leader Ryan Godown experienced a right rear tire failure.
Despite multiple restart opportunities, Creeden couldn't overtake eventual winner Billy Pauch Jr. "I think my tire gave up late and Billy had more tire left than I did," Creeden reflected post-race. "We took some stagger out before the race and should've left some more in it."

The Spec 358 motor proved to be a reliable powerplant for Creeden's team, contributing to several successful runs including a second place at New Egypt, strong showings at the Coalcracker and 76er events, and a victory at Thunder.
