Roth Motorsports 2010 Plan Of Attack

By: Joe Burrage & The Insider

Fresno, CA. – (January 27, 2010) – The new year is finally here for Tim Kaeding and the Roth Motorsports Team.  The off-season was relaxing and calm for Kaeding who spent time in Indianapolis and California during the holidays and the San Jose driver is ready to get the racing festivities going.

Sprint car racing is a year around job and the Roth Motorsports Team is no different.  Car owners Dennis and Teresa Roth have made some serious personnel changes to the No.83 Team, and in 2010 Tim Kaeding has a brand new crew to work with starting with Sonny Kratzer.  Kratzer joined the Roth Motorsports Team in August at the Knoxville Nationals where he helped Kaeding grab a Thursday night preliminary victory. Kratzer followed that effort up by propelling Kaeding to a fourth place finish on Saturday night’s A-Main which was Tim Kaeding’s best ever finish at the Knoxville Nationals.  Kratzer will help team manager Todd Ventura oversee the team this year in 2010.

Every driver and team needs an excellent crew chief and in 2010 Tim Kaeding will be reunited with veteran crew chief Mike Cool.  In 2006 Tim Kaeding and Mike Cool raced together for the first time and found victory lane 16 times at 16 different tracks across the United States in NST (National Sprint Tour) competition.  The veteran wrench has experience at almost every dirt track on the World of Outlaws schedule and even has a Knoxville Nationals title under his belt and if Kaeding and Cool can find that 2006 chemistry again the Roth Motorsports No.83 sprinter will be fun to watch every night.

Good crewmembers are also very difficult to find and coming along with Mike Cool from Steve Kinser Racing is Scott Martin.  Martin is a hard worker that is dedicated to winning and has learned from the very best that this sport has to offer over the years.  Scott Martin is looking forward to working with Tim Kaeding and Mike Cool in 2010.

“I am ready to race right now!” said an excited Tim Kaeding.  “I can’t thank Dennis and Teresa Roth enough for giving me this opportunity to run their car in 2010.  We have put together an excellent team and Dennis Roth provides us with the best equipment around and we can’t wait to get things started at Ocala, Florida this Friday night against the All Stars.  Everything is lined up for us and all we have to do is go out there and take care of business and win races.”

The early 2010 plans for Kaeding and the Roth Motorsports Team are to run the first 20 races against the World of Outlaws.  From there if the team is in the top seven in points Kaeding will continue to follow the World of Outlaws tour, if not the team will adopt a true “Outlaw” style schedule just like they did in 2009.

“Dennis Roth has given us an excellent opportunity to run the first 20 races with the World of Outlaws.” Kaeding said.  “We are going to take it one race at a time and do the best we can starting this Friday night.  This team has a lot of potential and we want to show everyone that this DTR Transport Inc. No.83 Team is for real.  2010 is going to be a fun season and I can’t wait to get things going.”
