Inside Line Promotions – ALGER, Wash. (Sept. 18, 2018) – Robbie Price returned to action at Skagit Speedway last Saturday when the track contested Championship Night.

The defending track champion finished third to earn his second podium finish of the season at the 3/10-mile bullring in a limited number of starts.

Price opened the night by turning the fastest lap in time trials. With the top eight drivers in track points already locked into the main event starting lineup that put Price on the inside of the fifth row to start the 25-lap feature. A pole scramble was supposed to be contested, but with threatening weather looming that was shelved and main events were lined straight up.

“It definitely felt good to be fast right out of the box,” he said. “With the way the format was we didn’t have to qualify against all that many cars, but we were quickest of the ones we did run with.”

In the main event, Price was challenging for the second spot with five laps to go when contact with another car broke the right rear shock off. He wound up finishing third on a track that was challenging to pass on.

“It rained out there all week and rained on Saturday morning so they pushed hard to get the race in,” he noted. “The track was super hooked up and kind of rough, which is my type of race track. I’m not afraid to get out there and ‘cowboy up.’ I got a decent start and was able to pass quite a few cars early. We were definitely one of the quickest cars there all night and were really the only one that was able to move up through the field. It was good to get a podium finish.”

Price is tentatively scheduled to return to action in the two-night Fall Nationals at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., Sept. 28-29. The native of Cobble Hill, B.C., competed a few weeks ago at the quarter-mile oval with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series during the Gold Cup Race of Champions. He qualified for the finale of the historic event for the first time in his career. Price also competed in a 360ci sprint car race the day before the World of Outlaws opened the Gold Cup.

“I hadn’t run in Chico a whole lot in the last few years so it was good to run there with the Outlaws and get some notes,” he said. “Hopefully we can head down there and run well this time and use what we learned in the 360 race and the Outlaws races.”
