The truck was selected for the convention because it is so new to the market. “It was a loan from Moss Brothers Toyota in Moreno Valley, California,” said K&N Engineering’s Bert Heck. “We had nearly three weeks to make it our project truck. Our SEMA build is great because anyone who owns this truck can do the same thing to it that we did at K&N. We also added the K&N logo with orange and red flamed tails under the hood to showcase our air intake.”

Industry enthusiasts stopped by the K&N booth at SEMA all week long to see the Toyota. K&N staff was available to show the modifications and answer any questions about our new K&N performance air intake system (77-9031-1KP). “People were surprised we already had an air intake system for a 2008 vehicle,” said Heck. “With the K&N kit we get a 13.43 horsepower gain at 5142 RPM.”

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Puts Kvapil in the Wall at Phoenix

The No. 6 K&N Filters Team and Travis Kvapil headed to Phoenix, Arizona with high hopes and confidence but could not seem to shake the bad luck. A record 13 cautions waved over the 150-lap NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race which included an incident on lap 55 that severely damaged the No. 6 K&N Ford F-150 and forced Kvapil to settle for 23rd place.

Kvapil turned a fast lap time of 27.444 seconds at Friday’s qualifying session and placed third for the start of Friday night’s race. At lap 16 the first of 13 cautions hit the track. Kvapil reported that his truck needed more tire grip. On lap 35 caution number four started the first round of pit stops for Kvapil.

Kvapil took on four tires, re-fueled and made a slight track bar and air pressure adjustment. The K&N team returned Kvapil to the track in fourth for the re-start on lap 40 where Kvapil battled for position.

As the race continued, Kvapil raced three-wide for position and was a top contender. On lap 55 he was passing the No. 47 when it turned into Kvapil and sent him into the wall. The No. 6 truck was wrecked. Kvapil made several more trips down pit road while the K&N team worked diligently to fix the toe and other problems on the Ford.

When it was all said and done, Kvapil crossed the line in 23rd as Kyle Busch went on to win. “It’s really unfortunate,” said Kvapil. “We had a great truck for the race and the entire K&N team worked really hard. It’s frustrating that we have such great stuff and keep having bad luck. We will be back next week at Miami.”

Kvapil is third in the point stands for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. He returns to action next week for the final race of the 2007 season at Miami-Homestead with all the action carried live on SPEED-TV.

Donny Schatz Wins 2nd World of Outlaws Crown Before Australian Races

Donny Schatz and his motorsports team were crowned champions for the 2007 World of Outlaws season at the Hilton University Plaza in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was the second consecutive World of Outlaw crown for Schatz.

“There are so many people to thank for this,” said Schatz. “It starts with people like the late Ted Johnson who built this series from scratch 29 years ago. Racers like Steve Kinser, who is the greatest sprint car driver, and the World Racing Group for keeping us headed in the right direction.”

The evening capped off a career season for the Fargo, North Dakota racer. He took his Global ParkerStore sponsored J&N with K&N Engineering products to win the World of Outlaws championship by 146 points over Joey Saldana. Schatz season included 71 top ten finishes in 75 A-feature events. He led the series in nearly every category including 19 feature wins, 467 laps led, 53 top five finishes and 12 Crane Cams Dash wins.

Schatz also made history by becoming the first driver to win five of the major races in the same season. He won all four “Month of Money” events, the Kings Royal, Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup, Williams Grove Summer Nationals and the Knoxville Nationals.

“We had a great year,” said Schatz. “We were determined to try and surpass some of the things we did last year and we were able to. Each championship is special because the paths we took to win each one was different.”

There is no time off for the 2007 champion. Schatz is in the southern hemisphere where he’ll be behind the wheel of a sprint car Friday night at Kwinana Beach, Western Australia. It’s the first round of action for the World Series Sprint Cars.

“We flew to the other side of the world and really enjoy racing there,” said Schatz. “Most of our focus is on racing in Sydney at Parramatta City Raceway.”
