ATTICA, Ohio – A good construction company lays a solid foundation for the project they are working to build. For the second straight year, Gill Construction of Port Clinton, Ohio will help lay the foundation of the 35th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by Racing Optics as a sponsor for all the heat races of the night’s entertaining event.
Gill Construction, owned by Ray Brooks, who owned a sprint car team the past two seasons, was the title sponsor for the Last Chance Showdown for the Brad Doty Classic in 2021. Brook’s other business – CK Mechanical – will be the presenting sponsor of the Last Chance Showdown in 2023.
“As a former race team owner, Ray Brooks continues to be heavily involved in racing, helping several teams to be able to compete throughout the year. We are so pleased he and his businesses have once again become valuable partners in our race. It’s support from people and companies like Ray Brooks and Gill Construction and CK Mechanical that helps make the Brad Doty Classic one of the most sought after wins in the country,” said Brad Doty, Co-Promoter of the event.
When the World of Outlaw NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series comes to Attica Raceway Park on Tuesday July 11 for the 35th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by Racing Optics, the competitors will be battling for the $15,000 payday.
This year will mark the 18th 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 25 different winners in the 32 contested Brad Doty Classic features (2 have been rained out). NASCAR champion Kyle Larson claimed his second Brad Doty Classic in 2022. It was his second Doty win in the last three years and Larson has indicated he will try to defend his Brad Doty Classic in 2023.
