Younger Sidner Ready to Snatch 1st Career Pure Stocks Victory By Chuck Corder As a kid, Friday nights for Brandin Sidner followed a similar script. He and his older brother, Dayton, would get out of school and head to Bellview Athletic Park for pep rallies. As soon as they ended, and with Brandin still decked out in his football gear, his dad would load the brothers up and head to Five Flags Speedway for that evening’s races. Little has changed for the 25-year-old Cantonment driver. While the pep rallies dwindled away, Sidner is still a fixture here. (con’t next page)

most. Everything has to be perfect. If it’s not, it’s gonna slow you down.” Slow will be the last thing on his mind Friday night as the Lloyd’s Glass Pure Stocks continue their season with a wrinkle. In a series that has been dominated by a select few drivers, some new blood is guaranteed their first trip to Victory Lane in a first-time winner’s 8-lap race after a pill draw sets the field. Sidner finished fifth in the seasonopening feature earlier this month. While he’s certainly trending toward an elusive first win — be it Friday or another night in the not-so-distant future — Sidner is still thinking about a near-miss at Derby that still found him on the podium. “Man, everybody was saying how great of a job I did,” he remembered, “but I feel like we had a third-place car. Honestly, I can’t get going on those restarts. I fell back so far.” (Chucks story continues on our website: www.5flagsspeedway.com.)

Family Fueling Boyett’s Passion as LM Veteran turns Pro Trucks Rookie Logan Boyett is cherishing as many memories as he can these days. One of the most meaningful came during Snowball Derby week A Pro Trucks rookie, Boyett got behind the wheel in the class’ Derby running and came home third. Not only was the 28-year-old Pensacola driver thrilled to finish on the podium, but Boyett just melted when he got out the truck and saw the unbridled joy beaming from the face of his 3-year-old son LJ. “You could just tell he was proud, even if he didn’t have a full grasp of what was going on,” Boyett said. And when Boyett captured his first Pro Trucks victory at the season opener earlier this month, how did young LJ react?“Honestly, he was asleep,” LJ’s amused father said. “He had enough and had to take a nap.” Little fella missed a heck of a day for his old man.Boyett finished second in the 25-lap opener to Colt James and then turned around an hour later to beat James in the nightcap 25.
