ATTICA, Ohio – While the finishing touches are being made to the 2016 racing schedule for Attica Raceway Park, one date has had fans across the region excited – Tuesday, July 12. That’s when the World of Outlaw Sprint Car Series returns to “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speedplant for the 28th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by Racing Optics.
The Brad Doty Classic has become one of the “must win” races on the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series schedule. While also honoring one of the best drivers who ever strapped into a sprint car, the event has also created some of the best racing highlights in the sport’s history since its inception in 1989 at Attica Raceway Park (fans remember local racer Alvin Roepke screaming “Holy moley, I won the Doty,” in victory lane at Attica in 2002).
The Brad Doty Classic returns to Attica Raceway Park after a 10 year run at Limaland Motorsports Park. The move back to Attica came about after a collaborative effort with Limaland and Attica officials along with Doty and the World of Outlaws.
“I can’t express my thanks enough to all my friends at Ohio Logistics, Racing Optics, UNOH and Callies Performance Products for their continued support! Also, thanks to Dr. Jeff Jarvis and the crew at Limaland Motorsports Park, John Bores and Rex LeJeune and all their staff at Attica Raceway Park and the World of Outlaws for all the work they have done to make this race so special. The amount of encouragement from the fans and race teams for the move back to Attica has been heartwarming and I can’t wait for July to get here,” said Doty
“The amount of fan interest in the Brad Doty Classic returning to Attica has been fantastic. We have expanded the reserved seating area and added a hotline for fans,” said Rex LeJeune, Director of Operations at Attica Raceway Park.”
