Additionally, Tim McCreadie, who previously drove for Paylor Motorsports, also announced his departure.

McCreadie, a seasoned 49-year-old racer, will make his debut in the No. 1 car this weekend at Atomic Speedway in Ohio and Brownstown Speedway in Indiana. He aims to secure his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title in 2024.
Mark Richards, team co-owner, expressed his excitement about McCreadie joining the team, highlighting his experience, championship titles, and impressive track record. Richards emphasized that McCreadie’s skills and tenacity make him the perfect fit to uphold the legacy of Rocket1.
Regarding Hudson O’Neal’s departure, Richards praised him as one of the top drivers in the country and acknowledged his contribution to Rocket1’s history. He wished O’Neal success in his future endeavours.
McCreadie, on the other hand, expressed his gratitude and excitement for the opportunity to drive the iconic Rocket house car. He humbly accepted the challenge and is eager to contribute to the team’s success.
