ATTICA, Ohio – Tim Shaffer will be in action this weekend when the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions travel to Attica Raceway Park for the Brad Doty Classic.
Shaffer has teamed with team owner Ron Gorby to drive the No. 1g during the Brad Doty Classic. The news comes on the heels of Shaffer losing his ride in the No. 49x Demyan-Rudzik Racing sprint car earlier this month.
“It’s just for this weekend,” Shaffer said when reached by phone Friday morning. “I’ve known the guy, Ron Gorby, for a few years.”
The deal for Shaffer to drive Gorby’s No. 1g was revealed via a Twitter post from Jac Haudenschild Racing Friday morning. Shaffer confirmed that they prepared the car in Jac Haudenschild’s shop.
“We’re working out of Jac’s shop,” Shaffer said. “Jac’s been a friend forever. We race together and have and we’ll have fun together.”
