Inside Line Promotions – ATTICA, Ohio (June 1, 2015) – Jason Sides registered his best World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series finish at Attica Raceway Park since 2011 last Friday.
Sides scored a seventh-place result out of the 41 competitors at the Kistler Engines Classic to garner his 17th top 10 of the season.
“Overall it was a good night,” he said. “It was really satisfying to get a top 10 there, especially with all of the talented drivers racing.”
The night began with Sides qualifying 19th quickest, which missed a spot in the heat race inversion by three positions. That lined him up fifth in a heat race.
“In the heat we had some cautions which helped out,” he said. “I got to third and I was in position to get the heat race win. We were just wanting to make the show at that place and we took advantage of our opportunities. It’s really good when you do because if not you’d be starting that far back. It bettered our position about 10 spots for the main event.”
Sides locked himself into the dash following his sixth heat race victory of the season with the World of Outlaws. He finished where he started – eighth – to line up on the outside of the fourth row for the main event.
“I fell back on the start of the feature because we were on the outside,” he said. “I lost a spot or two. We had a few cautions and I passed a couple of cars. We continued around the bottom. The car was really good off turn two really early. We could pass cars down the backstretch and entering turn three.”
Sides maintained a top 10 throughout the feature before ending seventh.
Saturday’s World of Outlaws event at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Mich., was postponed to June 24 because of weather.
Sides will return to World of Outlaws competition with a tripleheader this week, beginning on Wednesday at Kokomo Speedway in Kokomo, Ind., before races on Friday at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., for the NAPA Auto Parts Outlaw Showdown and on Saturday at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., for the O’Reilly Auto Parts presents the Outlaws at Lakeside.
“I’d like to get a win, but honestly a top five at all three would be a good week,” he said.
