Story By: TYLER ALTMEYER / TJ MOTORSPORTS – FREMONT, OH – The “Texas Traveler” T.J. Michael has been busy during the last several weeks, and despite a break in his Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions schedule, Michael will not rest, but instead join the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series for the annual Brad Doty Classic at Attica (OH) Raceway Park on Tuesday, July 11.
Michael, pilot of the Michael Motorsports/Advanced Cast Stone/Fremont Fence Company/Kear’s Speed Shop/Shell Shock/Hinchman Suits/Big D’s Pizza of Fremont and Clyde/Crown Battery/No. 8M, has yet to join the Greatest Show On Dirt in 2017, but is excited to battle with the best in the world at a facility where he has been victorious.
“I think we are all pretty excited to race with the World of Outlaws, especially at an event like the Brad Doty Classic,” Michael said. “We’ve won at Attica before and we know what it takes to get around that place.
