Inside Line Promotions – ROSSBURG, Ohio (July 18, 2017) – Jason Sides is eager to look ahead following a frustrating week in Ohio.
“I don’t know the last time we missed three races in a row,” he said. “We just sucked. I can’t explain it any more than that.”
Sides missed the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series main events last Tuesday at Attica Raceway Park in Attica during the Brad Doty Classic as well as the first two nights of the Kings Royal tripleheader at Eldora Speedway on Thursday and Friday.
“I got it figured out what we needed to do and we were second quick on the final night,” he said. “That was a big improvement on how we qualified throughout the three previous shows.”
Sides qualified second quickest out of the 50-plus competitors to open the $50,000-to-win event on Saturday at the half-mile oval. He then finished where he started – fifth – in a heat race, but locked into the main event by having one of the two fastest qualifying times.
“We just need to figure out how to get around Eldora better,” he said. “I got up to about 13th or 14th, but I think we got the right rear tire way too hot. I slowly faded. I think we could have had the car a little bit better.”
Sides, who started 19th, gained a few positions early before fading to the back. He rebounded in the closing laps to place 20th.
Sides will return to action with the World of Outlaws on Tuesday at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., for the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup before competing on Friday and Saturday at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa., for the Summer Nationals and on Sunday at Ransomville Speedway in Ransomville, N.Y., for The Big “R” Outlaw Shootout.
