Brandon McReynolds earned his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series victory in the Casey's General Store 150 at Iowa Speedway. This race is the first of two annual combination races between the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and West. McReynolds joins a list of NASCAR K&N Pro Series racers that includes defending NASCAR XFINITY Series champion Chase Elliott, Cole Custer and Brandon Jones as drivers who have won their first NASCAR race in the K&N Pro Series at the Midwest track whose slogan proclaims, "Stars Are Made Here" on their way up to the national series.

Brandon McReynolds, driving the No. 16 NAPA Auto Parts Toyota for Bill McAnally Racing, became only the second NASCAR K&N Pro Series West driver in 12 races to win the combination race at Iowa. McReynolds led twice for 22 laps, including the final eight. William Byron led a race-high 128 laps and finished second overall. Byron will be credited with a victory as the highest finishing NASCAR K&N Pro Series East driver at the Casey’s General Store 150. This was Byron’s second win in four races for the 17-year-old, who won his first career 21 Means 21 Pole Award earlier in the day and is the series points leader.

After the race McReynolds said “It was definitely hard. Me and the 9 battled back and forth. I knew whoever could get a good jump on that last restart would come away with the victory.” Ronnie Bassett Jr. finished third, followed by Jesse Little and McReynolds' BMR rookie teammate Christopher Bell. William Byron extended his K&N Pro Series East points lead to 14 over Austin Hill and 19 over Kyle Benjamin. In the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, Noah Gragson leads Chris Eggleston by a mere four points and Gracin Raz by nine.

It was a hot weekend in Virginia for the K&N air filters supported Millennium Technologies/Kyle Wyman Racing team as the trio of Wyman brothers finished strong in their respective classes for the third round of the AMA/FIM MotoAmerica Road Racing Series at Virginia International Raceway. Supersport competitor Kyle Wyman secured two top-10 finishes while Travis made it four-for-four on the podium in Superstock 600 with a 3rd and 2nd place in races one and two, respectively. Youngest brother Cody scored 16th and 14th place finishes in each Superstock 600 race.

For eldest brother Kyle, the weekend began with a big crash and a trip to the hospital. In the waning moments of qualifying, Kyle Wyman highsided his K&N filters equipped number 33 bike in the turn-two area suffering a bruised forearm and lower back contusions. "Friday was going to plan," Kyle said. "My crew chief Robin Hawley put together a great qualifying strategy and I was gaining a lot of confidence with the bike. It was in the last few moments of qualifying where I ended up crashing while trying to hold on to the back of a faster rider. I was super bummed to see my Millennium Technologies bike tumbling."

X-rays turned up negative for fractures after a trip to Danville Regional Medical Center, and Kyle lined up for Saturday's race in 7th position on the grid. With two great starts and climbing as high as 4th place in race two, Kyle finished 8th place in both races for the event on his K&N filters equipped Millennium Technologies motorcycle. "I can't be too disappointed with how the weekend ended," Wyman added. "Saturday's race was really tough for me physically. My back was so stiff that it was hard to change direction of the bike, and VIR is the wrong track to have that problem, especially with the heat and a 23-lap race. Sunday's race went better for me, but I was still in conservation mode. We still made great progress with the bike, and my KWR team stood behind me all weekend. I can't wait for the next round at Road America."

Saturday's first Superstock 600 race was a hot 18-lap final with Travis and Cody Wyman starting on the grid in 3rd and 19th respectively. Travis Wyman settled into a trio-breakaway aboard the number 24 K&N equipped Superstock 600 motorcycle with series rivals Joe Roberts and Richie Escalante, whom he had shared the podium with at the opening round at Road Atlanta. "I got off to a good start in the beginning and just tried to hang on to the pace of Joe and Richie," Travis said. "Unfortunately we ran a little too low of tire pressure and my tire went off after about three laps. Those guys were riding well but I was happy to come away with another podium finish."

Superstock 600 race two appeared to mimic race one in the opening laps, with the same trio of riders breaking away at the front. However, on lap three Joe Roberts crashed, leaving Travis Wyman and Escalante to fight it out for the win. Travis held on to Richie for a number of laps, until a big moment lost him some time. "Once Joe went down I was just following Richie, studying his lines," Travis said. "I was trying to figure out where he was faster, and where I was faster. When I had that moment in turn one it threw me out of rhythm and from there I settled into second place. I'm happy to have four podiums in four races."

Meanwhile, Cody Wyman progressed from his 16th place finish on Saturday to a 14th place finish in Sunday's final aboard his number 11 K&N filters equipped Superstock 600 bike. "We struggled early on and spent the weekend playing catch up," Cody said. "My team was working really hard with me and we improved drastically each session. I am getting more comfortable with the bike and I cannot wait for Road America."

In the MotoAmerica Supersport championship standings, eldest brother Kyle moved from 9th overall to 7th in the points after this weekend's races. In the Superstock 600 category, Travis and Cody currently sit 3rd and 19th respectively. The series heads next to Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for the fourth round of AMA/FIM MotoAmerica road racing May 29-31, 2015.

The K&N air intake for 2013-2014 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L turbo models incorporates an application specific air filter heat shield which surrounds the K&N air filter

The Fiat brand was reintroduced to the North American market in Italian Renaissance fashion with the 2011 Fiat 500. Fiat had been absent from North America for 27 years and the retro-inspired Fiat 500 was immediately popular for its Italian styling and fuel efficiency. As quickly as the Fiat 500 was leaving dealership lots, the standard Fiat 500 engine rated at just 101 horsepower left much to be desired in the performance department. With that in mind, Fiat decided to spice things up with the Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4-Liter Turbo. The Abarth models have an upgraded suspension, steering, interior, and last but not least, a snappy 1.4L Multiair turbo engine. Even though the 1.4L Multiair turbo engine is pretty responsive, 2013 and 2014 Fiat 500 Abarth owners are still searching for a boost in power.

The K&N Fiat 500 Abarth intake includes an air intake tube which ties into the factory fresh air scoop to keep inlet air temperature (IAT) readings within factory specs

Owners of 2013 and 2014 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L turbo models searching for a little more get up and go should look no further than a K&N performance air intake upgrade. K&N engineers decided to free up horsepower for 2013-2014 Fiat 500 Abarth owners by reducing restriction and turbulent airflow, while also maximizing the amount of air available to the 1.4L Multiair turbo engine. Boosting performance of the 2013 and 2014 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L turbo is accomplished by replacing restrictive factory intake tract components with a free-flowing molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) air intake tube and an oversized open K&N high-flow air filter element. More air and less restriction means more usable power throughout the engine’s RPM range by allowing the 1.4L Multiair turbo to work more efficiently.

K&N reusable air filter, RC-5062XD, is fitted to the inlet of the Fiat 500 Abarth air intake for superior airflow and superior performance without sacrificing engine protection

The K&N RC-5062XD over-sized reusable air filter is fitted to the inlet of the 2013-2014 Fiat 500 Abarth roto-molded air intake tube to provide superior airflow and superior performance without sacrificing engine protection. The filter is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. The K&N air intake for 2013-2014 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L turbo models incorporates an application specific air filter heat shield which surrounds the K&N air filter to help prevent engine heat from entering the K&N intake system. Additionally, the K&N Fiat 500 Abarth intake 63-1700 includes a separate roto-molded air intake tube which ties the factory fresh air scoop into the Fiat 500 Abarth K&N intake system. This helps to keep inlet air temperature (IAT) readings within factory specifications as well as promoting more efficient combustion.

When dyno tested on an otherwise stock 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L turbo K&N air intake system, 63-1700, provided an estimated 5.44 more horsepower and 5.53 lb-ft of torque

All of the design features of the 2013 to 2014 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L K&N air intake system are tuned to improve horsepower and torque delivery across the engire RPM range compared to the factory air filter box system. In addition to increasing horsepower, lowering restriction and increasing airflow will improve acceleration and drivability. The Fiat 500 Abarth is a lightweight car and increasing horsepower, even slightly, improves the power-to-weight ratio. When dyno tested on an otherwise stock 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L turbo the K&N air intake system 63-1700 provided an estimated 5.44 more horsepower and 5.53 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 to 2014 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L K&N air intake system is an excellent performance upgrade for this sporty little Italian car.

The 63-1700 performance air intake system from K&N is an easy to install performance upgrade. By following K&N’s simple step-by-step instructions owners of 2013-2014 Fiat 500 Abarth turbo models can experience more power and better acceleration in about 90 minutes or less using basic hand tools. The K&N 2013-2014 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L Multiair turbo air intake system, number 63-1700, maintains all necessary factory connections and does not require any additional modifications to experience a boost in performance. K&N backs its air filters and air intake systems with a 10-year/million mile limited warranty so Fiat 500 Abarth owners can rest assured knowing that their intake system will provide improved performance for years to come.

Performance Air Intake System 63-1700 is guaranteed to provide an increase in horsepower and torque on the Fiat 500 models listed below:

2014 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L L4
2013 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4L L4
