Sides Stunt: “World Wide” Paul Sides Plans to Stun Fans with Arial Acrobatics in Oskaloosa

When race fans go to the track as exciting as it can be seeing a car “get upside down” is usually not a good thing, but that is exactly what “World Wide” Paul Sides is planning to do at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa. During the Musco Lighting Front Row Challenge (FRC), Sides will be throwing danger to the wind and will be performing a gravity defying back flip which will thrill audiences.

"I'm not stupid, I just make stupid decisions sometimes," Sides commented about his decision to try this daring feat. “My brother Jason and I have been talking about this for about five years, but we never took the steps to put it together. This year during all the rained out races in California while enjoying a cookout with co-owner Blake Robertson of BR Motorsports/King Racing Products, the plans were set in motion.”

To commemorate this death defying act, t-shirts featuring “World Wide” Paul Sides will be available. A portion of the proceeds from the event will go to charity. During the evening, Sides will choose a driver and that driver will get to choose the organization which will benefit from the donation.

“I have several people that I have to thank for putting this together,” Sides Explained. “First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife Deanna, and my children Sydney and Sawyer. I would like to thank BR Motorsports, King Racing products, SKR, Butler Built seat, VRP Shocks, and RE Technology for supplying my stunt vehicle. I also need to thank Kerry Madsen for his support in this. Thank you Terry and Lori McCarl for giving me this opportunity. Last, but not least, thank you to my brother Jason and Sides Motorsports who have been instrumental in making this ‘bench talk’ become reality.”

During Sides racing career he has been known for his daredevil driving style in each class of cars he has raced from Mini-Stocks to World of Outlaw Sprint Cars. As the date ticks down to his daring feat, Paul has come up with his own special way to explain what the experience will be like for fans.

“The word of the day when I go out there to do the back flip is GYRONETICS.”

What are gyronetics? Stay tuned to find out!

Talked to Paul WWS at haubstadt and he told us then about his stunt planned!Icant wait for Osky this year its always good times in infield but its going to be racing with a nirto circus twist this year.

Am I correct in my understanding that he is going to back flip a sprint car?
