Inside Line Promotions – SARVER, Pa. (Sept. 27, 2017) – Jason Sides is looking forward to the huge opportunity for a big payday.
Sides will head to Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa., this Thursday through Saturday for the $50,000-to-win National Open with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.
“I think there’s always extra excitement whenever there is a lot of money up for grabs,” he said. “Williams Grove is a tricky track. It’s very technical and can be hard to pass on so it’s critical that we qualify well and put ourselves in a position to win.”
Sides has had success at the half-mile oval, where he claimed the prestigious Morgan Cup in 2011. He finished 10th during the National Open last season.
“Central Pennsylvania is a tough region to race in because the locals are so good and we don’t get to the tracks more than a few times per season,” he said. “The first step is qualifying well and then making it through the heat race. If you can do both those things you’re a contender.”
Sides is coming off a disappointing weekend that began last Friday at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio, for the BeFour the Crowns Showdown. He qualified ninth quickest in his group and placed fifth in a heat race to lock directly into the main event.
Sides ended where he started – 18th – and he wrapped up the weekend on Saturday at Lernerville Speedway for the Commonwealth Clash. He timed in 21st quickest and placed seventh in a heat race. That relegated him to the Last Chance Showdown, which he won to transfer into the main event. Unfortunately, Sides was involved in an early crash that resulted in a DNF.
