CHICO, Calif. — Tim Kaeding returned to his familiar spot in Golden State Challenge Series victory lane, but drove a new car to get there.
Kaeding, driving the Roth Motorsports No. 83jr, won the GSC main event Saturday night at Silver Dollar Speedway in his first start aboard the Roth mount.
“(Car owner Dennis Roth) told us to just go out and have some fun and try to get as many wins as we can,” said Kaeding.
Kaeding moved around early leader Tyler Walker as the two made their way through lapped traffic. Walker settled for second.
Brad Bumgarner collected a career-best third-place finish, but spun GSC point-leader Jonathan Allard, who recovered well enough to finish seventh and hold onto the championship lead.
Mike Henry in fourth and Kevin Sharrah in fifth rounded out the top five.
The victory was Kaeding’s fourth of the season and his 38th overall in GSC competition.
The finish:
Tim Kaeding, Tyler Walker, Brad Bumgarner, Mike Henry, Kevin Sharrah, Evan Suggs, Jonathan Allard, Shane Golobic, Mason Moore, Bud Kaeding, Chris Masters, Tyler Wolf, Mark Hall, Dan Simpson, Brandon Carey, Brent Kaeding, Mike Stallings, Mark Workentine, Jason Statler, Jason York, Ken Fredenburg, Brent Bjork.
