FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For complete results from these events, please visit www.LucasDirt.com. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Shawn Miller Williamson Records First Career Top 10 at Devil's Bowl Speedway Inside Line Promotions - MESQUITE, Texas (March 22, 2021) - The transformation of Garet Williamson was evident during the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour's season-opening weekend. The Bryant Paver Motorsports pilot invaded Devil's Bowl Speedway for the 48 th annual Spring Nationals last weekend. He'd only visited the tricky track once in his career for a two-day event last year, finishing 16 th and 19th, respectively. "I think we were a lot better this year," he said. "Things have gotten simpler and aren't so fast. I'm a smoother driver, too. I think that all showed." Williamson was on a mission last weekend, charging from eighth to fifth place in a heat race and winning a qualifier from the second starting position on Friday. That ranked him fourth in overall points to garner the fourth starting position for the main event. "We had a shot at a podium before the wreck," he said. "Another driver went to slide me and missed the bottom. He got up to me and I didn't have any room. I didn't see him until the last minute. His right rear tire got into my nerf bar and I went for a wild. I think that's definitely up there with our Knoxville wreck last year as the worst in my career." Williamson was in contention for a podium when the wild wreck in turn two ended his night early and destroyed his sprint car. The team pulled out the backup car for Saturday's event and there wasn't a loss of speed. Williamson finished where he started in a heat race - second - and in a qualifier - third. That was good enough to rank him eighth in points and lock into the A Main. "We didn't know how we'd adapt and we adapted really well," he said. "It was a new night and you can't think about the night before. We were up to sixth or seventh in the feature and had a restart when we got bottled up. Everybody was on the bottom and I messed up. When it's like that you have to go for every position and it bit us. With the track conditions it wasn't super racy, but I'll take a top 10." Williamson duked it out in the top 10 throughout the entire race before ending 10th, marking his first career top 10 at a track known for being hard to learn. "That place is super tricky," he said. "It's tough and hard on confidence going to a place like that. I went back with a good mindset and that helped a lot. Now I know I can run good there and that will help the next time we go back." Next up for Williamson is an ASCS National Tour tripleheader beginning Thursday at Superbowl Speedway in Greenville, Texas. It will be the series debut at the oval and Williamson's first time at the track. I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., hosts the ensuing two days. Williamson recorded a pair of sixth-place showings at the bullring last year.

Contact: Shawn Miller SawBlade.com's Bogucki Scores Pair of Top Fives During ASCS National Tour Opening Weekend Inside Line Promotions - MESQUITE, Texas (March 22, 2021) - Scott Bogucki got off to a strong start to the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour season last weekend during the 48th annual Spring Nationals. The SawBlade.com sponsored driver earned a pair of top fives and he is tied for second in the championship standings after the season-opening doubleheader at Devil's Bowl Speedway. "Two tops fives was perfect," he said. "When I looked back at stats from last year I was either in the top three or seventh or eighth. I didn't have a lot of top fives. I didn't have that consistency. That's what I wanted to work toward." Bogucki advanced from third to second place in a heat race on Friday. A fourth-place finish in a qualifier locked him into the 10th starting spot for the A Main. "We got to third a couple of times, but I had the car too tight in the qualifier," he said. "We freed it up for the feature and we were really good." Bogucki's fourth-place showing gave him at least one top five at the oval during three of the last four years. He repeated the strong performance on Saturday during the weekend finale. Bogucki charged from ninth to third place in a heat race to earn the most points during heat race competition. A seventh-place finish in a qualifier lined him up on the inside of the sixth row for the feature. "I made an error and hit an infield tire in the qualifier," he said. "We were lucky to finish the race. We had to change the whole front end and put a bolt-on shock tower on because we knocked it off the frame. We had barely any shock travel (in the A Main). It made the car rolled up on the right rear. To salvage what we did, I was really happy." Bogucki rallied for a fifth-place result. He is one of only three drivers who produced back-to-back top fives last weekend. Bogucki has an ASCS National Tour tripleheader on tap this weekend. It begins on Thursday at Superbowl Speedway in Greenville, Texas, before I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., welcomes the series to town on Friday and Saturday. "I've been to Superbowl Speedway once a long time ago," he said. "I led until one lap to go and we ran second. As for I-30 Speedway, I feel we got a grasp of it so hopefully this weekend goes well. It was somewhere I struggled. I've never really felt like we've had a great shot there, but we made progress last year so I'm looking forward to going back."

Contact: Shawn Miller Sides Looking to Put Pieces Together as World of Outlaws Head to Midwest Inside Line Promotions - PAIGE, Texas (March 22, 2021) - Jason Sides showcased moments of strength last weekend during the Drydene Texas Two-Step Presented by American Lube Supply. Sides was in contention for a top 10 during World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series action at Cotton Bowl Speedway before a similar problem plagued him in the second half of the feature on Friday. Sides had qualified 18th quickest before he hustled from sixth to fourth place in a heat race. That lined him up on the inside of the sixth row for the A Main. "We were pretty decent early, but late in the race it got really slick and we sucked," he said. "The last couple of restarts we lost a few spots. We got a couple back, but at the very end my car got so free. I'm not sure if I got the tires too hot and gooey, but I had no grip the last few laps." Sides salvaged a 14th-place result, which marked his third straight top-15 showing. Saturday was on pace to deliver better results as Sides timed in ninth quickest in qualifying. He narrowly lost out on a great battle for fourth place in a heat race, which started him 15th for the feature. "It was a lot slicker," he said. "The track had a little rubber late in the third heat race off turn four. They watered it a few times trying to help it. We got going and weren't terrible to start the feature. Then we got to spinning the tires. Even when I'd get in the rubber it wasn't good. I stayed down on the bottom too long. I moved up, but it was a little too late. About the time Jacob (Allen) and Brad (Sweet) were racing for the lead they had just passed me. Then Jacob hit the wall the next lap and we were trapped a lap down. We got back by three or four cars, but we were a lap down so it wasn't for position." Sides ended 18th. U.S. 36 Raceway near Osborn, Mo., welcomes Sides and the Outlaws on Friday before the Jason Johnson Classic is Saturday at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Mo. Sides' career-best result at U.S. 36 Raceway was eighth in 2009. He's also enjoyed success at Lake Ozark Speedway, where he established a new track record in 2019.
