Attica Welcomes Back World of Outlaws in Mid-July For Brad Doty Classic
Column By: NICK GRAZIANO / WORLD OF OUTLAWS – ATTICA, OH – One of the biggest weeks of Sprint Car racing in Ohio commences with the Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic at Attica Raceway Park on Tuesday, July 16.
The prestigious event will see World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series competitors return to Attica for the second time this year to challenge Ohio’s top local talent – all competing for the $15,000 payday.
Along with bringing fans The Greatest Show on Dirt, the event salutes Brad Doty, who’s give countless contributions to the sport and continues to do so today. Doty was one of the most promising talents in the 1980s before an injury ended his career as a race car driver. In the 35 years that have followed, the Apple Creek, OH native has found many avenues to remain an impactful figure.
Kyle Larson scored his second consecutive Brad Doty Classic victory last year, and fourth World of Outlaws win at the track in a four-year period.
Since 2016, only five different drivers have visited Victory Lane with the World of Outlaws at Attica – 10-time Series champion Donny Schatz, current Series points leader David Gravel, Larson, 2022 World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year Spencer Bayston and current Rookie of the Year contender Michael “Buddy” Kofoid, who’s the most recent winner at the track.
Sheldon Haudenschild, of Wooster, OH, will be on the hunt for his first win at Attica and try to become the first Ohio native to win a World of Outlaws race at the track since Dale Blaney did so in 2015.
The event will lead into the Kings Royal weekend at Eldora Speedway.
