Creed first started racing when he was three, riding BMX bikes and winning a state championship two years later. The next year, he started racing motocross, winning two Barona MX Park championships in 2005. Afterwards, he was invited to KTM's Jr Supercross Challenge, finishing second. At the age of eight, Creed began competing in Quarter Midget racing, eventually moving to Championship Off-Road Racing's Trophy Karts. Creed won a championship in each year of Trophy Kart competition, and also won the 2012 Superlite championship. The 2013 season saw Creed competing in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS), finishing in the top three in points. The following year, he won the Pro Lite championship. Creed also joined the Stadium Super Trucks, making his debut at Qualcomm Stadium, where he recorded the fastest lap time in qualifying before finishing second in the final event to Robby Gordon. He eventually recorded his first SST win at Honda Indy Toronto, becoming the youngest driver to win an SST event after doing so at the age of 15.

Creed began the 2015 Formula Off-Road season in Adelaide, winning the second race. In the third round, Creed finished in third while landing sideways and flipping across the finish line before landing back on his wheels. Later in the year, he won the gold medal at X Games Austin 2015, taking advantage of the holeshot to win. Creed battled with Gordon throughout the season, capitalizing on Gordon's misfortunes at Surfers Paradise and MGM Grand Las Vegas to win the championship. He ended the season with nine wins and 13 podiums.

In early 2016, Creed made his Dakar Rally debut, and at the age of 18, became the youngest driver to compete in the event. However, on Stage 8, Creed suffered from clutch issues and elected to skip waypoints due to the time limit, resulting in his disqualification from the event. In Formula Off-Road, he switched to No. 1 for the year, and won the season opener at Adelaide.
