Inside Line Promotions – QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. (April 8, 2019) – Sides Motorsports added a little ‘Gravy’ to its plate last weekend.
Crew member Stephen Fairfield, who earned the nickname ‘Gravy’ thanks to a special moment during a dinner outing last year, piloted a second Sides Motorsports entry on Friday at USA Raceway in Tucson, Ariz., during the Wildcat Shootout.
“Some of the tracks we go to we have low car counts so someone needs to bring down a backup car to make sure we’re in the three-heat format,” Jason Sides said. “We did that and had him drive it on Friday. It was his first time starting a sprint car.”
While Sides and Fairfield both ended the night early in the main event, the internet was won as everyone hopped on the ‘Gravy’ boat.
The team went back to one car the ensuing night at Arizona Speedway during the Arizona Desert Shootout. Sides qualified 15th quickest, placed sixth in a heat race and advanced two positions to end 16th in the main event.
“The race track was kind of narrow and you couldn’t do a lot of passing, but the bottom was decent,” he said. “We were a little tight the first few laps and then it got going good. The leaders got to me. I stayed on the bottom and all of the sudden the bottom came to us. We pulled away from Sheldon (Haudenschild) and passed a couple of cars. The car got better toward the end of the night and we made some gains.”
This week’s challenge is the Texas Outlaw Nationals on Friday and Saturday at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas.
“We’ve had some really good runs there,” Sides said. “We’re definitely looking forward to getting back toward the Midwest and to some tracks where we’ve had some better runs on.”
