Darrell Wallace Jr. won the Dover 150 leading the last six laps of the race
Max Gresham won the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship by finishing third in the season finale at Dover International Speedway, hanging on to the finish with a wobbly tire.
Darrell Wallace Jr. won the Dover 150 leading the last six laps of the race after Brett Moffitt crashed on lap 146 and set up a green-white-checkered flag finish.
Max Gresham won the 2011 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship
Moffitt, who came into the race at Dover only 21 points behind Gresham for the lead in the K&N Pro Series East standings, was leading when he cut a tire and crashed into the turn four wall. Gresham was running in third place and had a six-point lead over Moffitt at the time of the accident.
With Moffitt out of the race, Gresham completed the final laps conservatively. He moved into second place on the final restart, but let Dale Quarterly pass him in the closing laps. Gresham told his crew over the radio that he felt a tire vibation. But he finished the race and completed every lap of every race on the K&N Pro Series East schedule.
"I've never been happier to finish third in my life," Gresham said. "Those last 10, 15 laps, I definitely had a bad vibration. I wasn't sure what it was. That green-white-checkered before it, I was just shaking the car. I knew something wasn't right. It was a good thing I didn't have to race for position at that time. I could just ride the last three laps out and not have to worry about it."
Moffitt, who was in search of his third straight K&N Pro Series East win at Dover, ended up in 21st place and in third place in the final K&N Pro Series East standings, 86 points behind Gresham.

Wallace was able to leap frog Moffitt into second place in the K&N Pro Series East standings. He won for the third time this season and for the fifth time in his K&N Pro Series East career. Wallace won races at Richmond International Raceway in April and the inaugural East Series race at Columbus Motor Speedway in July.
Wallace, who also won the pole for the race at Dover, dedicated the win to his uncle, who died over the weekend.
"It was an emotional win," said Wallace, "losing my uncle this past Saturday, so it was tough. I put his name over my name on the door and he was riding shotgun with us and put us in Victory Lane. I love him, miss him already."
Gresham, a developmental driver from Joe Gibbs Racing, won two races and four poles en route to his first K&N Pro Series East championship. He won races at Gresham Motorsports Park in Georgia in June and at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in July.
"This has been the best season I've ever had," Gresham said. "It will be a good one for the record books for a long time for myself. We started off the season not as strong as we wanted but we had a run of 10 top fives. And you can't ask for anything better than that. ... I can't be any happier than to be part of such a great organization and it's just been a great year for us."
He became the first driver from Joe Gibbs Racing to win the K&N Pro Series East championship since Joey Logano won it in 2007.
"It means everything in the world right now," said Gresham. "To be a NASCAR champion is pretty much the only thing I wanted to do when I started racing and now I am. Hopefully there's more to come in the future. This one's as sweet as can be right now."
Gresham will continue his NASCAR season with Turn One Racing in the Camping World Truck Series. He will try to qualify for three races, and will make his debut at Las Vegas Motorspeedway on Oct. 15.
"I'd venture to say you'll be seeing him in the Nationwide Series and more than likely Cup here in the future," said Steve DeSouza, Joe Gibbs Racing vice president of Nationwide Series and driver development. "He's done a great job. He's a quick student."
Alex Bowman finished 23rd in the race a Dover and won the K&N Pro Series East Sunoco Rookie of the Year.
The Dover 150 will be broadcast on Speed tonight at 7 p.m. ET.
Despain said winning the race in front of his entire crew, his parents and girlfriend, made it that much sweeter.
Here's an inside scoop on impressing your significant other, take them to Ponderosa Speedway, Kentucky's "Baddest Bullring" to experience their first ever dirt race, then while they're having a grand time watching the action - win the race. That beats dinner and a movie anytime. And it's exactly what K&N sponsored Elliott Despain did.
Ponderosa Speedway and the United Super Dirt Car Series (USDCS) combined efforts for the Fall Classic at Ponderosa Speedway, with a record number of cars showing up for the 2011 event.
Elliott Despain won Open Wheel Modified Class at the Ponderosa Speedway Fall Classic and he set the fast time as well.
The Friday Night Rumble was jam packed with 33 Super Late Models, 25 Open Wheel Modifieds, nine Street Stocks, and three four-wheel drive, four-cylinder cars. Despain, driving in his No. 75 car took the checkered in the Open Wheel Modified Class, setting the fast time in the process.
"There were a lot of cars there due to most other racetracks already having ended their seasons, and we had pretty decent weather for the end of September as well. So with both those things combined it produced a great night of racing," Despain told K&N Race News. "It was very special to get the win. My entire crew was there, and I had my parents there as well supporting me. It was also a special night because this was the first dirt race my girlfriend, Delana, had ever been a part of, and getting to watch me win really topped it off."
The Despain Motorsports crew used the Ponderosa race as a practice run to test their new engine before heading to the Fall Nationals at Eldora.
Despain started the evening off on a positive note by qualifying fourth overall out of the 25 car field. "After qualifying, I then won the heat and started on the pole of the feature," continued Despain. "We led every lap of the race and brought home a great win! It was such a great race for us because we had just gotten our motor back after losing it earlier in the year. We used Ponderosa as a practice run testing out the new car prior to going to Eldora."
The Despain Motorsports crew and their No. 75 Lucas Oil Products sponsored race car featuring K&N products ended the 2011 season fifth overall in the super competitive American Modified Series. "We had three wins, several top-fives and top-ten finishes," added Despain. "We are going to the Fall Nationals at Eldora in Rossburg, Ohio this weekend, and we have another weekend scheduled the 20th and 21st of October."
K&N sponsored Wade Moody has set a new National Association of Diesel Motorsports (NADM) world record in his Duramax diesel powered drag truck. The record pass was a 7.94 @ 171 backed up with a 7.87 @ 171 set at Maryland International Raceway. This is a huge accomplishment for Wade who has raced this vehicle for little more than a year with a limited crew and budget. The machine used to accomplish this is a 2002 Chevy S-10 using a Gephardt Pro Cars chassis and a Duramax diesel engine that spins up to 5500 rpm, far above the limits of a stock diesel.

Wade, owner of NGM Diesel, and his main crewmember Cory Miles have put in an extraordinary effort this past racing season traveling around the Midwest competing in the NADM Pro Stock Diesel class and working out the bugs in the vehicle. Big stepping stones this past season have been switching from a manual transmission to a Bruno Lenco and then a mid-season change to a TH400. The car has responded very well to the current transmission and converter combination and Wade is very pleased with the results.
Wade has been chasing the previous record of 8.06 set by Banks Performance in 2008 and has successfully surpassed it in less than one full season. He and his team have had a great year, setting the new record on their 50th pass without one mechanical failure and Wade believes there is more to get out of the truck with some further suspension tuning.
By utilizing efficient tuning and a small amount of nitrous, Wade has embraced "clean" diesel performance by making his quarter mile passes with little, if any visible smoke, a standard byproduct of many fast diesel trucks. With increasingly tightened standards on emissions, it's great to see racers such as Wade adopt the clean performance mantra while pushing the envelope in diesel performance.
K&N is proud to sponsor Wade and his team and can't wait to see what they can do next year.
K&N is the Official Air Intake of the NADM series which holds events around the country showcasing diesel performance in drag racing, sled pulling and at some events a dyno competition. Be sure to check out their website for more information at www.runnadm.com or www.dieselmotorsports.us.
Replacement Air Filter for 2011 to 2016 Honda Odyssey 3.5L
For 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) made its crash-safety tests even more stringent, and the Honda Odyssey passed with flying colors. In fact, the Odyssey earned five stars in each seating position of all three crash-safety tests, earning it a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score. By addressing the features a family needs most, like safety, comfort, economy of operation, child-friendliness, a reasonable purchase price and good resale value, the Odyssey has maintained its position as a favored pick for minivan owners.

Now in its fourth generation, the Honda Odyssey has been fully redesigned for 2011 once again. Compared to the previous model, it has sleeker styling, an even more spacious interior, improved fuel economy and many other new features.

Replacement Air Filter for 2010-2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 5.4L.
Roughly a year after the release of the Mustang in 1965, Ford made the decision to "toughen up" the Mustang line. Enter - Carroll Shelby. Ford tasked him to make their pony run alongside Chevrolet's Corvette and nearly six decades later, the Shelby GT 500 remains the high performance muscle-car of choice for Mustang lovers. When the Mustang was given a little redesign in 2011, all 5,500 units sold faster than one could say "Ford Mustang Shelby GT500." Minor changes were made for the 2012 model, and those that missed their chance in 2011 can rest assured that the GT500 will gallop for at least one more year.
2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 5.4L.
The Shelby GT500 distinguishes itself from the other Mustangs in the line-up with a more aggressive exterior look, featuring a signature coiled Cobra badge on the front grille and front fenders. It also stands apart with a unique aluminum power dome hood with functional heat extractors and unique Shelby front and rear fascias, rear diffuser, deck-lid spoiler, and supercharged motor pushing out 550 horsepower and 510 lb-ft. of torque. And by simply replacing the disposal factory air filter on the GT500 with a K&N E-1993 replacement air filter, drivers can further distinguish their Mustang with high flow performance.
In 1969, only four years after the Mustang was introduced, K&N began engineering and manufacturing high-flow air filters for enthusiasts looking to maximize horsepower and acceleration. K&N invented high-flow air filter technology, and their filters have been thoroughly tested both in-house and by independent laboratories. The result is a precise balance of filtration efficiency, air flow, dirt capacity, and longevity.
The E-1993 filter is
designed for a lifetime of power and torque. It is washable and reusable and has the capability to run up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is required, depending on driving conditions. K&N stands behind the E-1993 replacement air filter with their industry leading Million Mile Limited Warranty, making this the last air filter Mustang enthusiasts will ever need to purchase for their GT500.
K&N E-1993 fits the following:
2014 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500 5.8L V8
2013 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500 5.8L V8
2012 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500 5.4L V8
2011 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500 5.4L V8
