Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 14, 2022) – Sides Motorsports car owner Jason Sides is seeing growth with new driver Robbie Price.
“It’s a big learning curve,” Sides said. “You are being thrown to the wolves. Every time we’ve hit the track he is moving forward so that’s something to build on.”
The team invaded Knoxville Raceway last weekend for the Brownells Big Guns Bash with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. Price qualified 21st quickest in his group and placed third in the non-qualifier race before advancing from 11th to ninth in a heat race and from 14th to 11th in the Last Chance Showdown on Friday.
Saturday featured progress as Price timed in 19th quickest in his group. A ninth-place result in a heat race was followed by a run from 16th to eighth in the Last Chance Showdown. The team elected to use a provisional to start at the back of the main event and Price capitalized by hustling from 25th to 19th – tied for the third-most positions gained.
“Both nights weren’t terrible and we made progress,” Sides said. “Qualifying is a big thing since he hasn’t done it a lot. We just needed laps and took that provisional. If you don’t run 25-to-30 laps at a time it’s hard to get a grasp on things when you’re only running eight-lap or 10-lap heats. We’re working at him getting comfortable in the car and it takes time to balance everything just right.”
Next up for the team is the Jim “JB” Boyd Memorial this Friday and Saturday at Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis.
“I’d love for us to get qualified well and be in a position for the dash, but right now we’re looking to be consistent, get in the show and make some laps,” Sides said.
