Kaeding Finishes Tenth At
By: Joe Burrage & The Insider
Things started off great for Kaeding and the DTR No.83, they were second quick in hot laps with a perfect qualifying position ahead of them. Keeping a very close eye on the track conditions before taking his one lap on the clock. When Kaeding was done with his qualifying lap he had timed in at 15.145 seconds, good enough for 14th quick overall.
With qualifying out of the way the DTR crew lead by Guy Forbrook went to work right away. Kaeding had a front row starting position in Heat Two and had to make the Dash or he was in for a very long night. Kaeding came down to take the green flag with Terry McCarl running a very close second. Kaeding would hold the lead until the fourth lap when McCarl squeezed by him for the lead. Kaeding would finish second in the heat but also grab a birth in the dash later in the evening.
The always important Crane Cams Dash was next for Kaeding and the Roth Motorsports Team. When 4 year old Fiona drew the ninth starting position for Kaeding in the Dash, Kaeding knew he would have to drive a perfect race to improve his starting position for the 25-lap, A-Main. Once the Dash got going the DTR No. 83 was not responding to the changes made by the crew, Kaeding did everything he could, it just was not enough as the Dennis and Teresa Roth owned No.83 would finish in the tenth position.
Guy Forbrook and the crew gathered around and discussed set up for the the 25-lap feature. With Kaeding giving his input, Ray, Nate, and Guy Forbrook made the changes confident they could at least move up and make a run for a top five finish. The A-Main quickly got underway with Kaeding running the cushion on the very narrow track.
Kaeding would continue to hold his line for five more laps and then dipped down to the bottom where the car did not respond at all, so Kaeding kept to the middle and the cushion trying to run down Johnny Herrera and Don Droud, Jr. for eighth and ninth place. Kaeding's time was running out, he just couldn't move the DTR No.83 forward in the feature until the last two laps where the car felt best. Kaeding would finish in the tenth position when the 25 laps were completed.

Kaeding Finishes Second At The Skagit Dirt Cup
By: Joe Burrage & The Insider
Tim Kaeding and The Roth Motorsports Team had one thing in mind when they made the long trip to Skagit Speedway, Win! Kaeding has had numerous podiums finishes over the years but the Dirt Cup keeps getting the best of Kaeding for some reason.
The Dennis and Teresa Roth owned DTR No.83 had some bad luck on Thursday night in the feature when a U-Joint decided to explode ending a very promising night early for the Roth Motorsports Team. Kaeding and the DTR No.83 would finish in the 20th position when things were all said and done.
With the broken U-Joint taken care of, Guy Forbrook and the crew of Ray and Nate spent most of the day going over the Roth Motorsports No.83 before Kaeding would hit the track for night two. Kaeding would come out firing on all cylinders as he quickly won his heat race driving a very smart and aggressive race. Next up for Kaeding was the 30-lap A-Main where he started in the eighth position.
Kaeding knew he had a good car for the feature and Guy Forbrook made sure he gave him every opportunity to drive to the front. Once the A-Main got underway Kaeding went to his usual line along the cushion where he would spend most of the race running down the leaders. After a very demanding 30-laps, Kaeding brought home the Roth Motorsports DTR No.83 in the second position.
The stage was set, Kaeding was starting in the eighth position right next to his brother Bud. Kaeding and the crew were all business Saturday night with $25,000 on the line. Guy Forbrook made sure everything was on point for the 40-lap Dirt Cup Race Of Champions. When the A-Main got going Kaeding used the bottom of the track early to maintain his seventh place position, but that didn't last long as the always entertaining driver from San Jose, California moved to the cushion and really started to make up ground.
The very dusty Skagit Speedway was starting to come around to Kaeding's liking. By lap five Kaeding cracked the top five, and he would hold the position for awhile until the traffic really got thick. In the very intense traffic Kaeding managed to weave his way through all the way up to the third position. Things got even more interesting with a yellow flag on lap-35, that found Kaeding running in the second position with a chance to take the lead if he could get by defending Dirt Cup Champion Jayme Barnes. On the re-start Barnes quickly put some distance between himself and Kaeding and it would be enough for him to hold on for the win as Kaeding would finish in the second position.
