- Tuesday night saw the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series travel to Attica Raceway Park for the annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic, run in honor of the former sprint car racer whose career as a driver ended after he was paralyzed in a crash.

Carson Macedo led early, but had both Kyle Larson and David Gravel giving chase. Gravel ran down Macedo and took the lead away on lap 17. From there, Gravel held on to take his 10th win of the year.

Gravel won by .739 seconds over Donny Schatz. Larson was third, then Macedo and Corey Day.
