"ERIC GORDON TO PURSUE LITTLE 500 WIN #10
DRIVING THE ICONIC 69 HOFFMAN CAR IN
THE 2018 RACE
Loveland, OH (1 Dec. ,2017) – Hoffman Auto Racing (HAR) is taking great pride in
announcing that after a three year absence , 9 time Little 500 Champion Eric Gordon
will drive the Mean Green Hoffman Car in the 2018 classic. Lykins Energy Solutions,
and Hoosier Tire remain as associate sponsors. Hoffman Racing is privileged to once
again be designated as an official Military Order Of The Purple Heart Race Team.
Kevin Doran of Doran Racing, Lebanon Ohio , will return for 2018 . Kevin will help to
prepare the car and add valuable technical assistance. Kevin has vast experience in
racing , winning 6 -24 Hours Of Daytona, Sebring and Petite LeMans. He also has
Silver Crown, NASCAR truck and Indy car backgrounds.
Richard Hoffman President and CEO of HAR said” After winning the 2016 Little 5 and
running 3rd last year with Tony Stewart , I didn’t think the Team could get more excited
for the 2018 race. But when we found out Tony will be in Europe and unavailable for
2018, Eric Gordon mentioned he would like to give it another ride. Eric was invaluable
in helping us prepare for the race and as a driving coach for Tony last year and the bug
struck him again. We would like nothing more that to help him win #10 in 2018. The addition
of Kevin Doran to our Team will be a invaluable asset again this year”.
“ I am extremely excited to run for the Hoffman’s again, (Eric drove for HAR in the Silver
Crown Series) in pursuit of Little 500 win #10 “ commented Eric Gordon.
Eric’s illustrious career includes 3 USAC National Sprint Car Series Championship runner-
ups and 1 USAC Silver Crown Championship runner-up. He also was the 2017 PRA Champion
and drove in the NASCAR Busch Series as well as Indy Lights. Of course his 9 Little 500 victories
is unparalleled .
“A big shout out to Mean Green for stepping up and making our participation in this year’s
race possible. We encourage HAR and race fans to support Mean Green , they have been
a great supporter of HAR and Sprint Car racing “said Tim Waechter VP of Marketing/Public Relations
/ Social Media for HAR."
