context_page_description: Sheldon M. Creed is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, driving the No. 2 Chevrolet Silverado for GMS Racing. He is a member of Drivers Edge Development.
  He grew up competing in off-road racing and started in the Stadium Super Trucks in 2013. A two-time series champion, having won in 2015 and 2016, he also has the most race wins in SST history. Creed transitioned to stock car racing in 2017, running in various NASCAR series and the ARCA Racing Series. A year later, he recorded his first stock car title as he won the 2018 ARCA Racing Series championship.
  He is nicknamed "The Showstopper", which he received from SST announcer Sean Sermini during race broadcasts.
context_section_description: After enjoying success in SST and off-road, Creed eased into stock cars; in 2014 and 2015, he competed in the World Series of Asphalt Pro Late Model championship at New Smyrna Speedway, finishing third in the latter year's standings. He initially disliked the transition from the frenetic off-road racing to requiring more patience in stock cars, prompting a dormancy in competitive asphalt racing from 2016 to 2018.
  In March 2016, he tested an ARCA Racing Series stock car for Lira Motorsports at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville. On April 6, the team announced Creed would compete full-time in the series for the 2016 season, driving the No. 38 Ford. Creed finished seventh in his debut at Nashville. In July, Creed made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut on the dirt at Eldora Speedway, driving the No. 07 for SS-Green Light Racing. After finishing fifth in his heat race, he started 25th in the feature and finished 16th, two laps behind race winner Kyle Larson.
  In 2017, Creed joined MDM Motorsports to contest a partial NASCAR K&N Pro Series East schedule in the No. 40 Camry. He made his series debut in the season opener at New Smyrna, where he started fourth and finished 19th. He also ran a nine-race schedule in the ARCA Racing Series with MDM starting in April at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, where he drove a tribute scheme to Davey Allison's 1987 Winston 500 win; he finished sixth in the event. He later joined Mason Mitchell Motorsports for the ARCA dirt races at the Illinois State Fairgrounds and DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, driving the No. 78 Chevrolet. In June, Creed drove Jefferson Pitts Racing's No. 27 Ford in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at Orange Show Speedway, in which he qualified sixth after being the fastest car in practice and finishing second to Chris Eggleston. He also competed in the K&N West race at Sonoma Raceway in June, partnering with Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick in the JPR effort. While Harvick won the race, Creed finished ninth. A month later, he returned to the Eldora Truck race, driving the No. 20 Chevrolet Silverado for Young's Motorsports. He started 19th, but was involved in three accidents and retired from the race on lap 80 for overheating issues; he was classified in 27th.
  During the 2017 season, Creed ran the NASCAR Xfinity Series races at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Road America. He joined JD Motorsports' No. 01 car for the Mid-Ohio race, in which he finished 34th after starting 32nd. He returned to JDM for the Road America race, but retired after 18 laps when his car began suffering from vibrations; he was classified in 38th.
  Creed competed full-time in ARCA in 2018 with MDM, driving the No. 28. He scored his first series win at Michigan International Speedway after outlasting Riley Herbst and Quin Houff. Further victories were claimed at Gateway Motorsports Park, where he started from the pole, and Iowa Speedway, where he held off Chandler Smith. A fourth win came in the season finale at Kansas Speedway as he clinched the ARCA championship with 16 top-ten finishes in 20 races.
  In September 2018, he won the K&N Pro Series West race on Las Vegas Motor Speedway's dirt track. On September 25, it was announced that Creed would drive GMS Racing's No. 28 entry for the remaining four Truck Series races of 2018. After impressing at Texas Motor Speedway, including leading two laps despite a 25th-place finish, it was announced at ISM Raceway the following week that Creed would run a full schedule for GMS in the Truck Series in 2019.
  Before the 2019 NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series season, GMS and JR Motorsports formed Drivers Edge Development, with Creed as one of its members. In the season-opening NextEra Energy 250 at Daytona, Creed won the opening stage but was collected in a multi-driver wreck on lap 99. He returned to the Xfinity Series in July, driving the No. 8 for JRM at Daytona; he qualified ninth but finished 34th after being involved in a lap 71 crash that took out multiple drivers. Later in the month, Creed's crew chief Doug R
