Andy Forsberg and the A&A Motorsports Team will next race at Placerville Speedway for a Civil War 360 Series Race
“The track at Silver Dollar Speedway was fast and passing was difficult,” said Candace Forsberg of A&A Motorsports. “But Andy was able to get around Mark Hall for the 2nd place spot but was never able to catch the leader,
Jonathan Allard.”
Allard took first and Forsberg took second place. “I use K&N products in all my races,” said Forsberg. “K&N protects our engines and performs flawlessly at every race.”
“K&N helps me get to the Winner’s Circle,” said Allard. “K&N air and oil filters are dependable and easy to use and maintain.”
The next night the A&A team headed to Placerville, California for a 360 points race at Placerville Speedway. Forsberg started 4th in the A-main and quickly overtook James Sweeney. He then moved into 2nd place and passed Scott Kinney. From there Forsberg set his sights on leader Jimmy Trulli, but was never able to catch him. He took 2nd place.
The team is on its way to Placerville Speedway for a Civil War 360 Series race and will finish out the week at the Silver Dollar Speedway for a 2-day Golden State Challenge 410 Series Race.

Winner's Circle for Street Stock Racer Russell Morseman at Woodhull Raceway in New York
Street Stock racer said he only uses K&N because he can count on its performance and protection on and off the track
“I came up through traffic and was in third place with only 5 laps to go,” he said. “I passed the second place car with only two laps to go and was up against the leader.” Morseman thought the leader would send him up the track so he broke away early. The leader went into the corner too hard and passed Morseman. “I crossed over and beat him at the line by about three feet,” said the K&N sponsored driver. “It was an awesome win. I extended by point lead and now have four heat wins and four feature wins.”
Morseman said he likes racing on the 3/8 mile high banked dirt oval at Woodhull Raceway. “There is nothing better than going into the corner side by side with another competitor,” he said. “We’re about one foot away from each other and our cars are running hard but we’re not touching each other at all.”
Morseman said he got hooked on racing because his father raced in dirt modified and street stock. “I used to hang out in the shop with my dad and by the time I was 14-years-old I was doing a lot of work including setting up our modified car every week,” said Morseman. “After college I went back into racing and started in the Street Stock Class.”
The 26-year-old Addison, New York resident uses K&N air and oil filters. “K&N products are not only on my race car but are on everything I own from my 4-wheeler to my race car hauler,” said Morseman. “K&N is the ultimate product for performance and protection and K&N has helped put me in the Winner’s Circle over and over.”
Morseman said his goals are to win the track championship in 2009, run in a dirt modified series and switch to asphalt and run in the Busch East Series.
“I plan to only use K&N filters,” said Morseman. “I love the oil filters because of the welded nut. It makes installation and removal a snap. It’s also nice knowing once you put a K&N product on your vehicle, you’re putting on the best part available along with peace of mind.”
While most teenagers use their summer vacations as a much-needed break from the hectic school year, 12-year-old Kyle Denmyer of Joppa, Maryland, chooses to spend his summer days and nights preparing for his next kart race. Going into his seventh season of racing, Kyle currently races in the Junior Restricted class. His kart of choice is a Phantom Icon chassis powered by a Briggs and Stratton engine using K&N Filters.

"K&N Air Filters are the best out there and they keep my engine running at top performance," says Kyle. "They keep the dirt out of my engine and they give me the most horsepower."
Kyle has been racing karts since he was five years old and his passion for the sport only grows with every race.
The 2008 year was a busy one for Kyle and the rest of the Denmyer Racing team, which consisted of 37 events. He finished off the season as the winner of the Burris Money Series BS500 Champion. He also competed in the Pennsylvania Dirt Karting Series, where he finished third in points for the light class and fourth for the heavy class. Kyle's record consists of ten feature wins, nine second place finishes, eight third place finishes, seven fourth place finishes, one fifth place finish, and two top ten finishes. Kyle and his team are also featured in this month's copy of Chase'n Race'n Illustrated.
In his pit, one can find Kyle's hardworking team, who just so happen to be his parents, Roger and Tammy Denmyer. Kyle has been racing karts since he was five years old and his passion for the sport only grows with every race. "My future goal is to be a part of 410 sprint car racing and to run with The World of Outlaws," says Kyle. "In five years I hope to be in a micro sprint car."
This weekend Denmyer Racing heads back to Hunterstown Speedway in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to compete in the Burris Money Series. Find K&N products for your kart or any other vehicle at KNFilters.com. Use the K&N dealer search to find a K&N dealer in your part of the world.

Team ACP's spectacular end over end flip at X-Games 14
Comrie-Picard is in Los Angeles, California preparing for ESPN’s X Games 15. “A spectacular end-over-end flip over the 70-foot gap jump at the X-Games 14 has made Andrew a fan favorite at the contest,” said Jen Horsey of Team ACP. “He is also favored to win a medal this year.”

Rally Car Driver Andrew Comrie-Picard will sign autographs at Dodger Stadium before he throws the first pitch in the Dodgers Astros Game
Comrie-Picard has been among the dozen invited drivers at the X Games every year since the rally discipline was introduced to the contest. Rally car racing is considered the extreme sport of automobile racing. It is an all season motorsport where drivers and their co-drivers take modified road cars to the limit as they achieve high speeds over courses that cover hundreds of miles of gravel, dirt or snow-covered roads.
Team ACP Rally uses K&N products. “I’ve used K&N since I began Rally racing more than a decade ago,” said Comrie-Picard. “We do the most extreme things we can do in a car and K&N is the perfect formula for our turbo charged motors. There is no compromise with K&N which protects our engines from road debris.”
“Rally drivers are some of the most versatile competitors in the world and I sure hope I can handle a baseball,” said Comrie-Picard. “I’ve been trying to throw wads of duct tape through an open window, without varying degrees of success.”
Comrie-Picard’s NOS Energy Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution rally car will be on display in Autograph Alley before the baseball game, and Comrie-Picard will be available to talk to fans and sign autographs.
The X Games Rally Car race runs August 2, starting at noon PST and will be broadcast live on ESPN and ABC.
Brian Bubash stands out in the world of urban sport bike riders. The 25-year-old is sixth overall in the 2009 XDL Sportbike
Freestyle Championship Series sponsored by K&N.
Brian Bubash will next compete with his 2004 Kawasaki ZX-6R in the XDL Series at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California
The XDL Series started in 2005. Events are held in cities, usually on a downtown street. The series riders compete at Moto Grand Prix in Indy and in front of the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California among other places.
The top 15 XDL Sportbike Freestyle Championship riders are expected to compete in the X-Games 2010
XDL Sportbike Championship Series Rider Brian Bubash executes his favorite stunt, named the Stoppie
There are many different aspects to the street bike styles in competition. The Individual Freestyle event is the main competition in the series and the one that ultimately decides the national championship. Other competitions include the Aprilia All Star Challenge and the K&N Sponsored XDL Circle Challenge. During the Circle Challenge riders first face off against each other with ten circle wheelie rotations. The next part is the Slickest Trick which is an audience judged competition where riders have two attempts to execute a specific trick. Riders also have to participate in Freestyle Burnout, a one minute free format where the riders push the pedal to the floor and let it all hang out.
“My favorite trick is called a Stoppie,” said Bubash. “That’s where I ride on the front tire with the back tire in the air.” Bubash competes in a 2004
Kawasaki ZX-6R with K&N motorcycle air filters and oil filters. “I’ve used K&N since I was a kid racing dirt bikes,” he said. “Even my mom knows K&N products and she really does not know her way around automotive stores. We both know K&N protects our engines and gives us excellent filtration.”
Bubash has competed in street bike competition for the past four years. “Every weekend I’m riding and travelling,” he said. ‘It’s important to be athletic in the XDL Series and have a top level mind- body connection.”
Judges base their decisions of difficulty, execution, overall performance and crash. The difficulty portion is worth between 0-40 points and is rated on the technical aspect of the stunts that are performed. There are four disciplines, wheelies, stoppies, burnouts and acrobatics. Execution is worth between 0-20 points and based on how well all the stunts are completed. If a rider does not complete a stunt they get penalties. Overall performance is worth 0-40 points and takes every aspect of the performance into consideration. Judges look at the rider's appearance, the motorcycle's appearance, the fluidity of the run or tricks and the crowd's reaction.
If a rider crashes they lose three points each time. Crashes are when the slider part of the crash cage touches the ground, with or without the rider.
The top 15 riders in the 2009 XDL Series sponsored by K&N will compete in the 2010 X Games. XDL round three will take place at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California August 7-8.
