Inside Line Promotions – NEW RICHMOND, Wis. (July 11, 2016) – Jason Sides has a pair of marquee events on tap this weekend.

Sides will tackle the Brad Doty Classic on Tuesday at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, before competing in the 33rd annual Kings Royal Thursday through Saturday at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio, with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.

“It’ll be a good week,” he said. “I always like the Brad Doty race because he put a lot into this sport. Last year we got rained out and he needs a good race. And it’ll be good to have an extra day at Eldora for the Kings Royal.”

Sides won the Kings Royal in 2004. His best finish at the $50,000-to-win event since then was a 10th-place result in 2014.

Sides is coming off a frustrating weekend at Cedar Lake Speedway during the FVP Outlaws at Cedar Lake event, which began on Friday with Sides qualifying 14th quickest before placing third in a heat race.

“We started out decent,” he said. “We were one spot out of the dash. We were pretty good there last year so we were confident. We pushed off for the feature and on Lap 8 coming off the bottom in turn two it started vibrating real bad so I pulled it out of gear. It turns out I broke a u-joint.”

Sides was in contention for a top 10 when the part failure occurred. He was credited with a 23rd-place finish.

The team returned to the track on Saturday for the finale. Sides timed in 13th quickest and he ended sixth in a heat race. That lined him up on the outside of the eighth row for the main event.

“In the feature I was going ok and moving through there,” he said. “It had a top and a bottom. We were good around the bottom. I got a little greedy and clipped the infield tire. It spun me around and I did like two 360s and kept going in a huge cloud of dust. There was no yellow and about that time (Donny) Schatz and (Brad) Sweet went by so I was a lap down. If we wouldn’t have been a lap down we would have been 12th or 13th because I passed about six cars on the last two restarts and ended up on the track 12th, but scored 18th because we were a lap down.”

Sides was scored in the 18th finishing position. It was the first week in nearly two months without a top-10 finish for Sides.
