Inside Line Promotions – ELDON, Mo. (June 1, 2020) – Jason Sides recorded his best finish of the season during World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series action on Saturday at Lake Ozark Speedway.
While the 12th-place result wasn’t what Sides aimed for, it was a step in the right direction during what has been a wild 2020 season.
“We changed the car from Friday to Saturday and it seemed like it helped,” he said. “We weren’t that great, but throughout the feature it got a little better. We could move around. Once the track cleaned off we got a little faster and better.”
Sides kicked off the doubleheader on Friday by qualifying 13th quickest. He then finished where he started – fourth – in a heat race to lock into the main event. The night concluded with a 17th-place feature finish.
“We were decent most of the night,” he said. “In the feature I was trying to get underneath somebody and I spun out to keep from hitting him. I was a little ticked at myself and ran in a little harder and passed a few cars those last few laps. Maybe I need to make myself madder earlier each race.”
Saturday featured an improvement as Sides placed 12th in qualifying and fourth in a heat race before gaining four positions in the A Main to end 12th.
“The later in the race it went the better it got,” he said. “That could be the fuel coming off and the track getting cleaned off. We caught up to those guys in front of us and raced with Ian Madsen and Sheldon Haudenschild for a top 10. Finishing 12th wasn’t great, but with who we were racing with I felt good.”
Next up is a World of Outlaws two-day event at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis., this Friday and Saturday. His most recent top 10 at the oval came in 2016.
“A two-day show anywhere right now is good,” he said. “We’ve had some decent runs there in the past. It’s all about getting qualified well. Then we can worry about everything from then on.”
