ATTICA, Ohio – NASCAR champion Kyle Larson will look to add his second Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic (BDC) presented by Racing Optics sprint car title to his long list of sprint car accomplishments. The 34th annual BDC will hit the high banks of Attica Raceway Park Tuesday, July 12.
This year will mark the 17th time the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series has sanctioned the Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by Racing Optics and this year the winner will take home $15,000….a $5,000 increase from 2021. There have been 25 different winners in the 31 contested Brad Doty Classic features (2 have been rained out). Lebanon Indiana’s Spencer Bayston claimed the 2021 Brad Doty Classic, his first ever World of Outlaws victory as well.
Larson won his first BDC title in 2020 but he will have his hands full with the stars of the World of Outlaws and Attica tough weekly competitors.
Besides the $15,000 pay day to the winner, Attica Raceway Park has incentives for its weekly competitors. The top 15 in the track’s points after the July 8 event are eligible for the following bonuses: If a top 15 in points wins the feature, there is a $2,000 bonus. Also, the highest finisher in the A-main who is in the track’s top 15 in points will get a $1,000 bonus. Also, any driver who is in the track’s top 15 in points after July 8 who hasn’t competed in 2022 with the World of Outlaws; the track will pay that driver’s series membership fee.
The BDC is co-promoted by Attica Raceway Park and the event’s namesake, Brad Doty, an Ohio native and national sprint car hall of famer who was a fan favorite from coast to coast until he was injured in a sprint car in 1988.
