Inside Line Promotions – CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 7, 2022) – Sides Motorsports driver Robbie Price soaked up the environment during his first-ever World of Outlaws World Finals experience.
The three-race event at The Dirt Track at Charlotte capped the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series season as well as the campaign with Price behind the wheel of the No. 7s after team owner Jason Sides elected to temporarily leave the driver’s seat because of hip and knee problems.
“I made a couple of mistakes, but besides that I felt fairly comfortable all weekend,” Price said. “I like the place. It’s fun for sure. Looking back I’d do some things differently. There were 50-plus drivers and everyone was really good so you have to be strong from the start to be a contender.”
Price qualified in the top 15 in his group last Wednesday and Friday. Both nights ended with a trip into the Last Chance Showdown before the team used a provisional to advance into the main event. Price finished 22nd on Wednesday and 25th on Friday.
Saturday’s finale started on a good note as Price hustled from ninth to sixth place in a heat race. A DNF in the Last Chance Showdown forced the team to use a provisional to make the feature. Price gained a trio of positions in the race to finish a weekend-best 20th.
“We just struggled for speed to be honest,” he said. “We qualified 12th and 13th. I felt we were a little bit better. In the heat races we were a spot or two out a couple of times and in the other one I got a bad start.
“The final night I felt decent in our heat race. Even in the A Main I felt okay, but the track rubbered up. Overall, we just couldn’t pass cars. Car-wise we were close and I think going back our results would be a bit better.”
