Inside Line Promotions – LAS VEGAS (March 4, 2019) – Both Tim Kaeding and Jason Sides posted top-10 results for Sides Motorsports last week during the FVP Platinum Battery Showdown presented by Star Nursery.

Kaeding picked up a runner-up result on Wednesday during the opening night of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series doubleheader at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas before Sides netted a ninth-place run on Thursday.

“To make both shows and have one car run second and ours run in the top 10, it went well,” Sides said. “In theory I’d like to see us both in the top five, but all in all it was a good weekend for us.”

Kaeding qualified 11th quickest in his group before he powered from sixth to third place in a heat race on Wednesday. He capped the night by charging from 10th to second place in the main event.

“He was damn good,” Sides said. “We had enough fuel to make the last four laps so I’d have liked to see it run the last few laps without a fuel stop. He had so much momentum going into the corners he could catch them going in. That’d get him off the corner as well. He seemed like he had so much more speed than the others.”

Kaeding was just as strong on Thursday, timing in third quickest in his group before a third-place run in a heat lined him up on the inside of the fifth row for the A Main. He quickly rallied toward the top five, but he narrowly clipped an infield tire to end the night early.

Meanwhile Sides improved throughout both nights of action on the half-mile oval. He qualified 13th quickest in his group on Wednesday. Advancing from seventh to fifth place in a heat race locked him into the A Main. However, he pulled off the track midway through the race while struggling with the setup.

Sides’ best outing came the ensuing night when he timed in fifth quickest in his group and won a heat race from third. That earned a spot into the dash and a runner-up result lined him up on the outside of the front row for the main event.

“I had a couple of decent starts, but on one or two restarts I was in the wrong lane and it slipped and let three or four cars go by,” he said. “The last six or eight laps we were trying to survive. The tires were pretty bad and we needed to go out with a good finish so we were pretty conservative.”

Sides salvaged a ninth-place result.

Both he and Kaeding will be in Sides Motorsports’ entries this Friday and Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., with the World of Outlaws. Kaeding is tied for the most Outlaws wins at the track with four career visits to Victory Lane.
