CAMPBELL, Calif. — After a decade-long absence from the USAC Silver Crown Series, Bud Kaeding will return to the series on a part-time basis this year. “This is something I’ve been seeking out the last couple of years,” Kaeding told SPEED SPORT. The car itself just arrived at Kaeding’s shop last week and they’re still very early in the process of mapping everything out. “Right now, we’re still in the preliminary stages,” Kaeding noted. “It’s cool, the time you’re on the throttle, how you change driving the car from the beginning of the race, how the track changes,” Kaeding explained. Kaeding’s best finish with Silver Crown at Eldora is fifth, but he’s a multi-time winner there with the USAC National Sprint Cars. “Eldora has always been fun in the Crown cars,” Kaeding said. “It’s actually really cool,” Kaeding said of his comeback.
