PETERSEN MEDIA- Bud Kaeding closed out his 2011 season in impressive fashion during the Kronik Energy Western World Finals as he kicked the weekend off with a third place finish, and repeated that performance as he grabbed the final podium position during the Saturday night feature.
Gridding the field from the fifth spot dude to his Thursday night finish, Kaeding worked the top of the USA Raceway early as he quickly moved into the third spot.
The top four of Hines, Coons, Kaeding and Bacon all raced in a back, as the four non-wing stars sliced and diced as they all battled for the lead.
Kaeding had fallen back to fourth on the 18th circuit, but was able to get back around Coons, and then began pressuring Bacon for the second spot.
On the 23rd lap, Bud took his BK Motorsports/Kaeding Performance/SCI No.29 entry to tip top of turns tree and four, and moved into second as he chased after Hines.
As Kaeding gave one final effort to get Hines going into the last pair of corners, a slight bobble let Bacon sneak back by, and Bud grabbed the final position on the podium.
“We weren’t happy in second, and were doing what we could to track Tracy Hines down on the last lap,” explained Bud. “Brady ended up getting back by us, and here we are in third. I can’t thank all my guys enough for sticking with me all year.”
Bud Kaeding would like to thank Kaeding Performance, Sprint Car Innovations, Alviso Rock, BZE, Factory Kahne Shocks, Racing Optics, K&N Filters, Yak Graphics, ButerBuilt, and Brown and Miller for their continued support in 2011.
