ATTICA, Ohio – To say Ray Brooks of Ken Gill Construction is a sprint car fan is a huge understatement. Brooks and Gill Construction began sponsoring local racers several years ago and in 2020 was the heat race sponsor for the Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by Racing Optics. In 2021 Brooks has stepped up once again, owning a sprint car team AND coming back on board for the 33rd Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by Racing Optics as the backer of the Last Chance Showdown.
This year will mark the 16th time the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series has sanctioned the Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by Racing Optics. There have been 24 different winners in the 30 contested Brad Doty Classic features (2 have been rained out). “Young Money” Kyle Larson of Elk Grove, California added the 2020 Brad Doty Classic victory to his incredible 2020 season. In fact, the Brad Doty Classic was his 22nd overall win at that point of the racing year. It was a dominating performance as he led all 40 laps.

The Gill Construction Last Chance Showdown is exactly what the name implies – the last chance for the night’s competitors to race their way into the $10,000-to-win A-main.
“Ray Brooks is a huge sprint car fan and his enthusiasm for the sport is contagious. I can’t thank Gill Construction enough for coming on board with us once again,” said Brad Doty, Co-Promoter of the event.
