Qualifying for the 200 lap 105.2 mile race begins October 20 at 11:10 a.m. EST.
“I’ve come close to winning at Martinsville a couple of times in the Truck
Series,” said Kvapil. “I grew up short track racing on half-miles in late
models. I always feel comfortable going to Martinsville, it’s a demanding race
and it’s very hard on equipment, but I feel it’s a race we have a chance to
win.”
The No.6 K&N Filters Team will be bringing chassis RK330-45 to Martinsville.
This chassis last raced at Loudon, where Kvapil started third and finished 15th.
“Travis has always run well at Martinsville,” said crew chief Mike Beam. “We’ll
head there looking to win this race. We had a strong truck in the spring, but we
got caught behind when we decided to pit late in the race and the cautions kept
coming. We know that our chances for the championship are basically gone, so
we’ll look to win as many races as we can in the final five of the season.”
SPEED-TV will cover the race. Check your local guide for times.

K&N Engineering manufactures universal air filters for a wide variety of applications. Regardless of the angle or offset diameter of the air intake, there is a K&N Universal air filter for your equipment.
The new RC-5169 is constructed with ultra-strong molded pliable rubber flanges which absorb vibration and allow for secure attachment.
Universal Air Filters can stretch up to 1/16" (1.5mm) to fit sizes in-between. The black powder coated filter top has a threaded stud for additional security when mounting the air filter.
The flange length is 1.5 inches (38 mm) which allows plenty of room to clamp around a variety of engine intakes. The RC-5169 Universal Air Filter is washable, reusable and ideal for extended use in dirty and dusty conditions. It is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration to protect your engine.
There is a great deal of engineering behind every K&N Filter. More than 35 years of research and development has made K&N the leader in air filtration technology.
This is the air filter used by Baja 1000, Trophy Truck Racer Damen Jefferies.
California’s Tulare Thunderbowl Raceway is an extremely fast racetrack and on
the night of the Dave Helm Memorial Jonathan Allard took a late race spin.
K&N Filters No.0 Sprint Car
The Chico, California resident was able to charge forward to earn a 14th place
finish in the Williams Motorsports K&N Filters No. 0. The night began with 42
competitors and Allard came out 22nd in the qualifying order. His lap of 14.143
put the K&N Filters machine only two one-thousandths of a second behind the 16th
fastest car.
Jonathan Allard
This was good news for Allard because the World of Outlaws only takes the
top 16 qualifying drivers for the heat race. The 2006 King of California was
able to bring home third place and transfer to the feature.
The track was tough because of the rain and traffic in the back was thick.
Allard picked his spots and was on the move early in the K&N Filters Williams
Motorsports No. 0. He was able to close in for a top ten spot. As Allard battled
with the Tony Stewart Motorsports machine, he spun to a stop in turn two on the
25th lap. Allard was pushed back to the rear for the final 10 lap shootout.
Allard took the high side and charged around several competitors over the last
few laps to bring home a hard fought 14th place finish. “We had a great car and
are happy to race neck and neck with this kind of competition,” said Allard. “I
want to thank our sponsors like K&N for supporting us as we move on in the
series.”
Allard is scheduled to run the K&N Filters No. 0 at Manzanita Speedway in
Arizona on Friday and Perris Auto Speedway in California on Saturday.

The 2007 road race season has ended for Harrison Brothers Racing at Brands Hatch
in the UK. Jonathon and Richie Harrison were ready to roll at the Metzeler
Racetec National Superstock Cup near Swanley in Kent.

In the first qualifying session Jonathon Harrison powered his 2006 HBR R1
equipped with K&N Engineering products into the top 15. By lap 7 he was in the
49 second bracket and climbing the timesheets.

“With 15 minutes left in the session, we brought my younger sibling back to the
pits,” said Richie Harrison. “Even though he was passing rider after rider the
bike was beginning to slide. We fixed the bike and sent him back to the track.
He was able to hold 14th place on the grid.”
In the second qualifying session Harrison Brothers Racing knew that everything
was working as expected. Jonathon Harrison held 12th place and moved on to the
main event.
“He took his place on the 3rd row in the 11th spot,” said Richie Harrision. “He
had a great start but made a small error after five laps and went to 12th
place. Going into the last lap my brother rounded the last turn and headed for
the line. Jonathon had a 12th place finish and a total of four points.”
K&N Engineering has supplied Harrison Brothers with parts since 2005. “We know
with K&N our bikes are working at their best,” said Richie Harrison. “We never
have a problem with any K&N products or services and we are looking forward
to working with K&N again in the 2008 season.”
The Harrison Brothers plan to compete in the British Superbike Championship for
the 2008 season.

Some photos tell their own story, and with one look that photo itself can define
speed. Paul Livingston of Falkner Livingston Racing was going just under 195 mph
on the long course at Bonneville Salt Flats when a lens captured the
motorcyclists doing what he loves at the World Speed Finals.

“Between 120 and 130 mph you can hear the engine,” said Livingston. “After 130
mph the only thing you hear is wind.” The white salt shines under the bikes at
Bonneville and
reflect 11,000 foot mountain peaks.
Livingston took his 2007 GSXR 1000 to the short course first. “I had to get a
sticker that qualified me for the long course,” he said. “On the first run I
went 180 mph. That did it.” The Bonneville Salt Flats are the perfect stage for high speed
racers who have one goal, to set the fastest land speed record in their class.
“I qualified for the record twice,” said Livingston. “On the third run a strong
head wind pushed me too hard. The bike was going as fast as it was going to go,
but it wasn't enough.”
The Falkner Livingston Team uses K&N Engineering Products on its team
motorcycles. “In the dry and salty conditions at the Flats, K&N Filters are
a huge part of making our motorcycles run well,” said Livingston. “When you’re
building a motorcycle to run over 200 mph, each and every part on the bike is
critical, that is why we rely on K&N Oil and Air Filters.”
Next up for Falkner Livingston is the Baja 1000.
