Chad Axford and Team Mellow Insanity Racing Logs a Win at Infineon Raceway

8 Aug 2011

Team Mellow Insanity's Chad Axford at Infineon Raceway

In early July, Chad Axford, and Team Mellow Insanity racing, rolled into Sonoma California, eager to compete with fellow NHRA drivers at the Summit ET bracket series points race. This was not the driver's first experience at the Infineon Raceway. In fact, according to Axford, they race at this particular venue approximately ten times annually.

Chad Axford wins at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California

Although he had yet to log a win in 2011, competing in the super pro and super comp classifications, Chad Axford had already experienced 15 races prior to the event. That said, although the driver had seen far less success than he had hoped for throughout the first portion of the season, Axford's confidence level was actually positive, as he was anticipating a win in the near future. Evidently his positive attitude and persistence paid off. At the end of the weekend, the driver and his team walked away victorious in the Super Pro Class. "My confidence level was good," recalled Axford. "It had been a rough year for me, but we were still swinging. I knew I was due for a win."

As did all of his competitors, Axford entered the race with a strategy. When asked the key to winning this particular event, the driver answered, "Good help and a great car. I'm nothing without my crew," he continued. "The car ran great all weekend. We went a bunch of rounds on Monday, making the semi finals in Super Comp and winning the Super Pro." When asked where he was ranked thus far in the season, he explained, "We are only chasing local points this year. We are top ten in all 3 points series we are entered in."

In round one of the Super Pro, Axford lined up against Tony Silvia and got the day started off on a positive note with a win. Taking the next two rounds, the driver was then paired with Dennis Paz in round four and got the bye to the final round. With fire in his eyes, Chad Axford lined up beside Eathon Lanfri to race for the win, and when all had been said and done, Axford was the victor.

During the Semi Finals of the Super Comp class, Chad Axford lined across from Jack Freckman and lost. Of course the driver would have preferred walking away victorious in this classification as well, and rightfully so. On the other hand, even though Axford finished third, the event was still a moral booster, as he managed to outdrive multiple time world champion, Tom Bayer, during the first round. "Tom Bayer is someone most people don't want to see in the other lane, but I embrace the challenge," explained Axford. "I want to accomplish what Tom has, and anytime you can win rounds against people like that, it's a plus."

Chad Axford is obviously aware of what it takes to win, and would be quick to agree that maintaining his car is a very important step toward experiencing success. That said, the driver uses and depends a great deal upon K&N products. "We use K&N oil and air filters in all of our vehicles," he explained. "Hands down, they're the best investment any vehicle owner can make. K&N makes such a high quality and necessary product."

Along with proper maintenance, Axford also considers his crew as a crucial component of his success. "They do everything," he shared. "All I have to do is get in and drive. My dad, Wayne; my mom, Linda; best friend, Roger; and my girlfriend, Shelby, keep everything rolling, so I can keep chasing the dream. I would like to thank my parents for all the time, money and support they put in my racing," he continued. "My buddy Roger, who is the Jr. Dragster Program Director at Sacramento Raceway, has watched me grow up in racing and is now an essential member of our team."

Since his win, Chad Axford has raced at the Fram Autolite Nationals at the Infineon Raceway where he went five rounds, and the driver is looking forward to returning to this track again on August 13-14. Axford is also anticipating a trip to las Vegas where he will be racing in the ET finals toward the end of September. When asked the key to continuing success through the remainder of 2011 the driver's answer was simply put, "Keep focused and relax."

Mark Faul Makes it Back-to-Back Stock Wins at JEGS 2011All-Stars Event in Joliet

8 Aug 2011

The five-time All-Stars racer is currently headed back home to Washington for the Seattle National.

In classic case of déjà vu all over again, Mark Faul, from Tacoma, Washington made it two-in-a-row at this year's 2011 JEGS All-Stars event at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois. The five-time All-Stars player grabbed the win in Stock, after taking the starting line advantage, and winning the double break-out race over another K&N sponsored driver, Slate Cummings.

Mark Faul made it back-to-back All-Stars wins, taking out Slate Cummings with a double break-out victory.

Last year when K&N Race News reported on Faul's All-Stars win he remarked "Victories like winning the JEGS' All-Stars definitely make it worthwhile. I'm fortunate to have certain freedoms without a regular job, and wins like this are necessary to be able to keep going."

After repeating this year, with his round three win in the NHRA Full Throttle Series, Faul added, "It feels great. It was a tough race weekend with the heat and humidity. I think I was able to focus well, and I was lucky to get the job done."

About squaring off with Cummings, Faul commented, "I knew how Slate had been driving, and I figured if I had a good reaction time and ran under my dial in, or close to it, I'd have a good chance."

Asked about winning Stock All-Stars back-to-back, he continued, "It feels incredible! I was fortunate enough to win last year, and to return this year as the blocker, and win again was great." Next up for Faul is the national event in Sonoma, California, then he heads back home for the Seattle National.

Tommy Phillips Continues His Benchmark 2011 Season with JEGS All-Stars Win

8 Aug 2011

Phillips said he intends on introducing his third team car around the U.S. Nationals event.

Pressure generates an ambiguous dilemma, so the distinction between winning, and yet another rationalization, is so often determined by which side of the two-head beast you chose to embrace. The laws of psychics dictate that pressure can either weigh us down, or push us higher. Tommy Phillips, the Forney, Texas, Texan has clearly aligned himself with the latter.

The All-Stars win at Route 66 Raceway added yet another ingredient to Tommy Phillipsâ€™ season to remember.

Over the course of his 20-plus year career, pressure has lifted Phillips to 23 NHRA national event titles and 27 NHRA Lucas Oil Divisional wins, along with his six NHRA Division 4 Championships. The K&N sponsored racer has finished in the top-ten an astounding 18 times, six of those come as the second place national finisher. The case can be made that Phillips competes with the ferociousness of a tiger, as depicted by his Tigerflow/K&N team paint scheme. Recently Phillips and his crew competed in the NHRA Route 66 Nationals in Joliet, Illinois; it was the team's sixth NHRA national event of the season, and when the smoke and rubber settled, the Tigerflow/K&N team stood tall, hoisting the Super Comp All-Stars gold.

With all that Phillips has accomplished thus far in his career, it's nearly incomprehensible to believe that 2011 is shaping up to perhaps become a defining season. What is it that continues to fuel Phillips to greatness, and why does he cuddle pressure with such affection? He claims its all luck. We think he's being respectfully humble.

How does it feel to get the round three win in the NHRA Full Throttle Series, does any one thing standout from the race, and what all went right to contribute to the victory?
"It felt great to get the win in the finals of the All-Star race. That is a very difficult race to even qualify for, and to win it is one of the most rewarding moments a sportsman racer can have in their career."

"There is a lot of pressure at the All-Star race, not only because the bonus money is very rewarding, but because you have teammates that are relying on you as well. The team concept is very unique in our sport, so I definitely wanted to have my 'A-game' with me, because I didn't want to let anyone on the team down. In qualifying for the race, we count all round wins within our LODRS events, with no waiver races. In other words, every race counts...good and bad. Even in the LODRS National Championship chase, we are allowed to take our best eight of 14 races, so the All-Star event is actually more difficult to win in some ways. It all adds up to a large commitment of time, effort, and financial obligation for each of the competitors that qualified for the event, and you have to be near perfect on one single day to reap the rewards. That's tuff! As a result, it was a huge relief and very rewarding, both individually and for our Division 4 team to leave Chicago as a 2011 JEGS All-Star Champion."

"As far as things going right for me to win - almost everything went right. My car has been really good all year and it was near flawless at this event as well. Gary Stinnett was having some mechanical gremlins that weekend, and didn't put down the run I would have expected, so I was able to take advantage and get the win light. I had some really good fortune in round two when, Sherman Adcock, broke on the starting line. He is a very consistently successful driver and drawing him at any event is no bargain at all. The fact that I got a free run when he broke was definitely a stroke of good fortune."

"The final really stands out because Michael Miller was the defending champion in Super Comp, a great racer, and I built the car he is driving. He and his family do an outstanding job with their race team, but that day it was just my time. It was a very close race and I was fortunate to get the win."

From your perspective how would you say your season is shaping up overall at this point?
"I am having a very good year so far and hope I can finish up. I am currently leading the LODRS national points championship in Super Gas, and fourth in Super Comp. There are several drivers that are right there with me though, so it will be a battle to the end. That's the best part of racing for a championship though, because I love it the best when it matters the most!"

What's up next for you and the team?
"I will introduce a third car to my team around the U.S. Nationals event. I am finishing up a 2005 Cavalier to run in Super Stock, which was prepared by Bret Voges, from Van Buren, Ohio. His stuff is always fast and flawless, so I am very excited to get my new car."

"In the meantime, I am off for three weeks, or so, and will spend that time with my family relaxing. I have a brand new granddaughter, Presley, and I am enjoying the time with her. She was born the day that I left for the All-Star event in Chicago. My next race will be in Cordova, Illinois for a LODRS Division 5 event, then on to Brainerd, Topeka, and Indy for the U.S. Nationals. I have 11 races in 14 weeks to close the year, plus four appearances at local vocational schools, so it will be a busy few months, but what a great and fortunate life I have to be able to do this!"

K&N's Mike Ferderer Makes it Two for Two in NHRA Top Sportsman Events

8 Aug 2011

Mike Ferderer grabbed his second NHRA Top Sportsman National Event Wally

While most know K&N's Mike Ferderer for his fantastic success in sportsman drag racing, especially in the index classes of Super Comp and Super Gas, it truly doesn't seem to matter what class the Washington state resident enters. Ferderer proved that during the 24th annual FRAM-Autolite NHRA Nationals when he grabbed his second NHRA Top Sportsman National Event Wally, in only his second time entering the class.

Mike Ferderer and his K&N Pontiac Grand Am

"I guess you could say I'm batting a thousand," chuckled Ferderer, when speaking of his latest accomplishment. "I better quit while I'm ahead. I've only entered two [NHRA Top Sportsman Races] and I've won both of them."

Ferderer hasn't been on the scene as much as usual this season, due to several surgeries since learning of his prostate cancer in January of this year and a recent hernia surgery. "It's taken my eye off the ball, so to speak. We're getting back on track, but I wouldn't say we are one-hundred percent yet," he said of his medical situation.

Obviously, one would have never known of the hurdles Ferderer has overcome, as he did not show one ounce of weakness and was as strong as ever behind the wheel of his K&N Pontiac Grand Am in Sonoma, California all throughout both qualifying and eliminations.

"The car was pretty much flawless," he said of the weekend. "I just switched over to Red Line Oil and that really worked out good. Saturday I did a pretty good driving job, but Sunday I left my driving brain in the trailer or something. But luckily, I was able to make it through."

"You know to get ready to run in this class, there are a ton of changes that have to be made to the car," Ferderer pointed out. "You have to move the four-link, the shocks and this and that. Just a bunch of stuff has to be done. It's not just taking the stop off the car, not in my car."

Unlike many cars in Top Sportsman throughout the country, there are no power adders such as nitrous to be found on Ferderer's K&N Grand Am, just good ol' raw horsepower. "I had a guy come up to me and ask me what did that thing run, like he was almost in disbelief of what he saw. I said, oh 7.35 at almost 186. And he goes, 'With an air filter in the hood scoop?' And I said, 'Well yeah, it's a K&N Air Filter. That's why it goes that fast. Then he told me, 'Wow, I gotta get me one of those.' Yes, the K&N filters and scoops really do their jobs."

Ferderer qualified seventeenth and was paired up with Craig Olson in round one and while Olsen went .001 red, Ferderer would have been pretty tough to beat with his good light and 7.391 on his 7.39 dial. He went on to beat Johnny Matassa in round two but first killing him on the tree with his .004 to Matassa's .036 reaction time. That would set him up for a strange round in the quarter-finals with Curt Geise.

Both competitors started their burnouts and then Geise's turbo GTO got into his own oil and nailed the guard rail with the right front fender, which gave Ferderer a competition single and a chance to easily get his tune up ready for the semi-finals against Dan Borg. Ferderer had a very uncharacteristic late light and his competition just missed the tree going .005 red and send Ferderer into his second Top Sportsman final.

"As I mentioned before, on Sunday I just got lucky," confessed the multi-time NHRA National Event Champ.

"The final was a calamity in itself," explained Ferderer. "I was feeling very confident going into the final and I had been the slower car all day. So all I had to deal with was the delay on the starting line. I cinched her down a little bit and I figured a fifteen light would be good. And as it would have been, I forgot the guy next to me was dialed slower, so I had to use the cross-talk. I never used the crossover. So he went red by .002 and I went red by .202 because we both left at the same time."

"So that's why I was real-real lucky," he added. "I mean I know how to do it [cross-talk and being the quicker car], I just forgot to do it. I wasn't real proud of my driving but evidently I was making less mistakes than my competitors."

Ferderer was quick to point out the folks who helped him throughout the weekend to win his 23rd NHRA National Event Victory, "Mike Henderson, who runnered-up in Top Dragster. So towards the end there, we were both kinda busy. So he really couldn't help me anymore and I normally help him when I'm not running. Travis Hodges, who works with Steve [Williams] was helping both of us. So Travis pretty much gets all the credit for working on two cars over the weekend and getting both of them into the final."

"Travis worked his butt off. He was really the man of the hour," he continued. "Both K&N cars with Henderson and I, and it was just great."
