Inside Line Promotions – BARTLETT, Tenn. (Oct. 30, 2017) – Jason Sides is in a tight points battle entering the final World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series event of the season.
Sides is only four points out of 10th place in the championship standings entering the Textron Off Road World Finals, which is this Thursday through Saturday at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C. He’s placed in the top 10 of the standings in six of the last eight seasons.
“You go in there knowing it’s the last race and you need to do well,” he said. “I have to run really good, but at least be in front of Brent (Marks) both nights.”
The event features a unique format as Thursday is qualifying night, when time trials are run for the shows on Friday and Saturday.
“Qualifying is more important than anything because you have so many cars,” he said. “When you qualify it’s for each night, which is two different nights. You’ll qualify on a night when the track is hard, dry and slick. With us qualifying early in the night the first session is usually ok. By the second time we go out the track is hard and slick. You really need to be on your game to get the best qualifying effort you can.
“They’ve done a good job of keeping the track together all weekend. Usually they have a good top and a bottom and it’s pretty racey. We’ve run decent there before. We were leading once and got jacked up by a lapped car and Paul McMahan got by. Hopefully we can put together a good weekend with solid results that will move us back into the top 10 of the standings.”
Sides earned a career-best runner-up result during the event in 2013. He’s also placed second at the track in 2009 and he has five top fives and 15 top 10s there dating back to 2007.
