410 Sprints Added to Attica’s July 7 Program

ATTICA, Ohio – To give the race teams of the Hammer Pallets 410 Sprints another chance to get prepared for the 29th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by Racing Optics, Attica Raceway Park has added the division to the Friday, July 7 racing program.

Joining the 410 sprints will be the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models who will not only compete in the regular program on Croghan Colonial Bank Night, but will also compete in the 25-lap make-up feature from the June 16 mid-season championship night which will award double points.

“With all the rain-outs we have had this year we wanted to give the 410 sprints another chance to race. Unfortunately we will have to drop the dirt trucks off the schedule for July 7th,” said Rex LeJeune, Operations Director at Attica Raceway Park.

Also, ARP Promoter John Bores will keep the $10 general admission ticket price for the July 7 event along with $1 hot dogs and 50 cent popcorn. With the double features for the late models, unfortunately the open pits for the fans will not take place.

The Fremont Fence 305 Sprints will also be in competition Friday, July 7.

Also, late model competitors are reminded a new UMP tire rule is in effect July 1 so this Friday’s event is the final to incorporate the old tire regulations. The new rule is LM 20s on all four corners of the car with a right rear option of LM 20, 30 or 40. There is also no grooving on the right rear tire (effective May 30) and no grooving of any tire after July 30. Tire siping is allowed however.
