Despite facing numerous obstacles, Creeden secured the Penn Can Speedway track championship and collected four feature wins throughout the season. The team made a strategic move to race at New Egypt Speedway on Saturdays, which proved beneficial despite the longer travel time.
Early season setbacks included a significant crash at New Egypt Speedway, but thanks to friend Donnie Elliott's support with a replacement frame, the team quickly bounced back. Motor issues also presented challenges throughout the season.
