Speedway Raises Funds for Family of Scott Doty
Entire crowd rose during lap four of the race, in Doty's honor
The New Egypt Speedway honored Scott Doty this past weekend by hosting a race that will benefit his children.
Doty's entire family was there and his "Motley Crew." On the fourth lap of the race, the crowd stood in tribute to Doty's memory, holding four fingers over their heads for the entire lap.
Colleen Doty Shive, Doty's sister, told the Patch: "the fundraiser was a success, but more importantly it was a beautiful tribute for an amazing man. I would also like to mention New Egypt Speedway and how amazing the management was to us, along with their fans."

The winner of the Crate-1 Sportsman Scott Doty Memorial, Frank Dorry of Ringoes, donated his winnings to the family.
Doty died August 19 of a heart issue at a hospital near the speedway after working nearly two decades in the Barnegat school system.
