Inside Line Promotions – PLACERVILLE, Calif. (March 28, 2016) – Jason Sides took advantage of a much needed trip home during the holiday weekend.
Sides is refreshed as he will return to California this weekend to tackle Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, Calif., on Friday for the Ocean Outlaw Showdown presented by Budweiser and Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., on Saturday for the Mini Gold Cup with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.
“It was great to get home,” he said. “We’re excited to get back into action at a pair of small tracks this weekend. The last time we were at Ocean Speedway was 2008 and that was the only time I’ve been there. I don’t remember a whole lot about it.”
Sides has a lot more experience at Silver Dollar Speedway, where he has registered a dozen top-10 finishes during the past eight years. Seven of those were top-five results, including four runner-up finishes.
“I’ve run second so many times I’ve lost count,” he joked. “We’ve had some good runs and some bad runs in Chico so hopefully this weekend we’ll land on the good side.”
Sides was caught up in an incident during his most recent event last Wednesday at Placerville Speedway in Placerville, Calif., for the Brad Sweet presents the Placerville Short Track Outlaw Showdown.
Sides opened the night by qualifying 19th quickest before he placed sixth in a heat race and second in the Last Chance Showdown. That lined Sides up on the outside of the 11th row for the main event on the bullring.
“We had passed four or five cars and there was a crash on the second or third lap,” he said. “I had nowhere to go and got collected in it. We jimmied up the top wing to keep it on there and put a shock on it and basically just rode around there for the rest of the race.”
Sides ended with a 20th-place result.
