Inside Line Promotions – WEST FARGO, N.D. (Aug. 29, 2022) – Sides Motorsports driver Robbie Price earned his first career top-five finish with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series last Saturday at Red River Valley Speedway.
It marked the team’s first top five with ‘The Greatest Show on Dirt’ since July 2, 2021.
“It was nice to have a good run,” Price said. “We’ve been good early on a couple of nights, but not able to do anything in the main event. It was great to have a top five throughout the night and have the result at the end.”
Price qualified eighth quickest and advanced from third to second place in a heat race to make the dash. He finished where he started – fifth – in the dash to line up on the inside of the third row in the Duel in the Dakotas feature.
“We put it in the dash, which was big,” he said. “I ran fourth most of the main event. (David) Gravel got by me on the last restart so that dropped us to a fifth-place finish. The track was fast all night so we needed to make the most of a good start to the night by hitting our marks. It was definitely a confidence-building run.”
Price kicked off the weekend on Friday at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., during the Second Leg of the Northern Tour. He timed in sixth quickest before placing fourth in a heat race to lock into the feature.
“The first night we qualified decent, but didn’t have the greatest heat race,” he said. “In the feature I got up to 11th and faded toward the end so we finished 14th.”
Next up is a weekend Price has had circled on the calendar all year. The World of Outlaws race this Thursday through Saturday at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash., during the Sage Fruit Skagit Nationals and next Monday at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash.
“This is home so I want to run good,” he said. “The expectations are high for me. We’ll see at the end of the weekend whether I’m happy or not, but we really want to take a step forward after earning our first top five last weekend.”
