Paylor Motorsports has already filled the seat. Carson Ferguson is set to head out on the national tour. The driver has already a piloted the #93 entry for the team since 2022. He’ll now begin running national events for the team.
Donald Bradsher comments
“There is no ill-will at all towards Timmy for pursuing another opportunity,” Donald Bradsher stated via a team release.
“He is a stand up guy, a tremendous driver, and we accomplished a lot together since we started back in 2020. I would have loved to have chased our third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series title together this year, but he made a decision that he feels is best for him personally. Gena (Bradsher) and myself wish Timmy and his family nothing but the best moving forward!”
Carson Ferguson comments
“A few years ago, Donald and Gena Bradsher, along with Wesley Page, took a chance on me to drive their crate car,” Carson Ferguson stated.
“Fast forward to the end of 2021, the Bradsher’s felt I was ready to move up to Super Late Model racing and learn as much as I could on a regional level. The past two years, we have traveled to many different tracks across the southeast and have filled up more pages than I thought possible in our notebook.”
“With everything that has transpired in the last day or so, the opportunity to take over the Paylor Motorsports ride to attempt to follow in the footsteps of one of the sport’s greatest in Tim McCreadie is unimaginable.”
“I can’t thank Donald and Gena Bradsher, Wesley Page, my dad, all of my past and present sponsors, and every person I have driven for to this point enough for getting me to where I am today. We are unsure of what series/events we will be following this year, but the entire Paylor Motorsports team is ready to hit the ground running starting tomorrow night at Talladega!”
