2026 Inductee Glen Creed

Glen started racing Demo cars in 1988 with his brother Gord which included competing in the Can/Am “Canadians verses USA” Demo event. In 1994, Glen won first place overall in Demos. In 1996 he ended his Demo career and moved into Big Rig racing, a class which would hold his focus and attention for the next twenty-one years.

In 2001, Glen was the main event winner at a Big Rig race at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe Washington and also won Best Smoke Show and received a main event third place at South Sound Speedway. Glen’s all-time favourite pass happened in turn 3 and 4 at Western Speedway when he passed two trucks making it a three wide pass and took the lead and went on to win the Lavander Cup in 2002.

Glen captured seventeen main events at Western and won the championship in 2009, 2021 and 2022 and finished in second place overall in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and finished in third place overall for the years 2011, 2015 and 2023. In 2010, Glen did six donuts and a burnout of the grandstand stretch at Western in a Western Star gravel truck. His best finishes at “Race City” in Calgary Alberta were three second place main event finishes. Glen won many trophy dashes, heat races and top three finishes in his truck racing career at tracks including Western, Saratoga, Calgary, South Sound, Wenatchee, Prince George, Monroe and Altamont.

In 2018, Glen was crew chief for his daughter Ashley with the Big Rigs and was also featured on the “Big Rig Warriors” TV show. The following year saw him as the main event winner at All American Speedway in Roseville, California. His final main event win at Western was in 2021 when his good friend Mike Hirst was racing the #11 truck. Mike thought it was one of Glen’s best wins with him starting at the back of the field and making his way to the front. The following season, which was Western’s last, Glen and Ashley had a good battle on the front straightaway side by side to the finish line with Glen barely beating his daughter.

Stateline Speedway in Idaho invited the truck class down for a Friday night appearance and said that if the trucks could run some laps, they would let them drive the school cars which were Late Model Stocks. When the trucks arrived there they had Drift Cars out and they were asked if the trucks could drift. Glen went out and had so much fun drifting through the corners one and two then back through the middle and then back out onto the track. When he came in, his tires edges were on fire as he got a little carried away.

Glen and Ashley were both at a meet at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe and in the main event, Ashley was leading with Glen in second when the flagman threw a “competition yellow” because Ashley was going too fast and running away from the pack. The race was restarted with Ashley again taking off from the remainder of the field with Glen unable to stay with her. Ashley won it with her Dad second, a very special moment. Yakima Speedway was the biggest and fastest track Glen ever raced trucks on. Winding out the engine, Glen was thinking, “Holy, I’m going so fast!’ (around ninety miles per hour).

Prince George’s PGARA Speedway in 2023 was Glen’s last race in the trucks. Daughter Ashley won the main event on the Friday night with Glen second and on the Saturday night, Glen won it with Ashley second. It was such a fianl proud moment for Glen, having battled his daughter for first place.
