Inside Line Promotions – WEST LEBANON, N.Y. (July 27, 2015) – Jason Sides bookended a busy weekend in the Northeast with a pair of top 10s.

Sides kicked off the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup last Tuesday by qualifying 13^th quickest in his group before he placed sixth in a heat race and second in a Last Chance Showdown at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa. That locked him into the 22^nd starting position for the first of twin main events at the high-banked track.

“We had a good balance on the car and I was able to maneuver around like I needed starting that far back,” he said. “Any time you can pass that many cars and get a top 10 it’s a good night.”
