Jeff Arend is taking over the controls in the blue Checker, Schuck’s, Kragen
Funny Car to add a lot of power to Team Worsham. Arend earned a quarter-final
finish at the Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals in Commerce, Georgia.

Arend and his group ran well coming into the race. Since the season began,
he qualified at every race and held a spot in the top eight since the first stop
on the tour. Even though they had not won a round since the opening weekend, the
close losses were still losses. Arend wanted to reverse the trend at Atlanta
Dragway.

Team Worsham has two strong contenders
“We’ve been running well, and I think we’ve been running well enough to win, but
we have been getting bit by the photo-finish bug a bit lately,” said Arend.
“There are so many great teams, but there’s never a chance to squeak one out or
take a breather. It seems like, every time you turn around you’re racing one of
the best teams in the world. Coming here, I know we all wanted to make it clear
that we think we can run with all of these teams and no one should be surprised
to see us up here in points or someday soon in the Winner’s Circle.”
When the blue CSK Impala made its debut Friday in Atlanta, Arend was 3rd on the
qualifying list and had reset both of his career-best marks. Worsham Racing uses
K&N Engineering products on both of their CSK Funny Cars. “The thick canister
walls on the K&N Oil Filters have extra strength and durability,” said Team
Manager Bob Wilber. “It reduces the risk of damage from debris in our engines.”
On Saturday, Arend earned a first round with Gary Densham. The race was decided
quickly and Arend was moving on.
“Del Worsham won too, and that was a big win for our whole program,” said Arend
“We’re intent upon being in the mix when the playoff system starts in September
and have a lot of motivation with the thought of a possible all CSK semi final.”
In the second round, Arend joined Tony Pedregon and Gary Scelzi as second-round
losers. His teammate Del Worsham lost to Robert Hight. “For us, a statement was
made in the first round and in qualifying,” said Arend. “We still have so much
potential to show. I’m glad we’re racing next weekend because I can’t wait.”
Team Worsham will race at St. Louis the first weekend in May.

Roadster fans have two new options on the block in 2007, the Saturn Sky and the
Pontiac Solstice. The Sky shares its platform and general exterior dimensions
with the Solstice. The Sky's look is more angular and bolder.
Air Filter for the Saturn Sky, Pontiac Solstice and Opel GT
K&N Engineering's Lifetime Replacement Air Filter

is custom designed to fit in the factory air box of the 2007 to 2009 Saturn Sky 2.0
liter engine and the 2007 to 2010 Pontiac Solstice 2.0 liter engine. Remove the
disposable air filter and replace it with K&N's Air Filter for high air

filtration technology. K&N Air Filters are washable, reusable and are made of 4 to 6 layers
of cotton gauze sandwiched between two epoxy-coated aluminum wire screens. Our
cotton is treated with a specially formulated grade of oil. This causes
tackiness throughout the cotton's microscopic strands.

Derrick Malcolm was fast and competitive all weekend at Buttonwillow Raceway
Park near Bakersfield, California. He took the class win in the NASA (National Auto Sport Association) Performance
Touring Series on Saturday and Sunday.

The series is an amateur racing program with more than 10,000 members
within 15 chapters across the United States. Malcolm participates in the
southern California chapter.
Derrick Malcolm is points leader in his class
Malcom drove his No. 92 Nissan Sentra SE-R through rain showers and mud on
Sunday. “A car flipped two cars in front of me on the track,” he said. “I was
fighting to stay on the course when the other car went end over end and landed
hard. When a course is black flagged you think about safety, but you have to
believe in your safety gear and hope things like that aren’t going to happen to
you.”
The weather affected Malcolm’s visibility on the track. “The cage on my car
prevents me from having windshield wipers on my Nissan,’ he said. “The other
problem I had involved the intense amount of mud flying everywhere. I couldn’t
see the apex on the course. I could however, count on my K&N Air and Oil
Filters. K&N gives me more horsepower and keeps the debris out of my engine.”
Malcolm is the points leader in his class at this time. He will race at Willow
Springs International Motorsports Park in May.

Bayou Boyz Britt Cummings defeated Al Kenny in Super Comp at the 4th annual
JEG’s.com NHRA Cajun SPORTSnationals at Belle Rose, Louisiana. This was the
first NHRA Wally for the team and it happened at the sportsman racer’s home
track, No Problem Raceway.
Britt Cummings wins first NHRA Wally at Belle Rose, Louisiana
“This is a huge win, and it’s really special to me for a number
of reasons,” said Britt Cummings. “We made a plan to include a full NHRA
schedule to our racing program. I don’t mean to sound cocky, but at the time my
brother Slate, my dad and I felt like we’d experienced a lot of success. We’d
always been fortunate on the IHRA side of racing, and we figured a lot of that
would just carry over, but for a number of reasons it just hadn’t until now.
With three IHRA World Championships and many event wins, we could never seal the
deal on the NHRA side, until now.”
Cummings drove his Mullis Race Cars built dragster to the win, knocking off a
who’s who list of 8.90 competitors on his way to the title. With three seasons
of going winless on the NHRA side, I feel like the monkey is off our back, he
said.
Winning this NHRA national event victory was very important to the Bayou Boyz.
“Obviously everyone points at Indy, or the Gators or one of the classic events
as the race they want to win,” Cummings said. “For me it’s the JEG’s SPORTSnationals.
It’s one of the most enjoyable races of the year, and it’s in our backyard at my
favorite facility.”
Cummings Motorsports is a family business from Hammond, Louisiana. “Bayou Boyz
Racing has ten cars,” said Cummings. “We use K&N Engineering Air and Oil Filters
on all of our vehicles. With K&N I’m faster and very consistent. The K&N Filters
never give us a problem.”
The Bayou Boyz Cummings Team is off to Tulsa, Oklahoma for an IHRA Division 4
Pro-Am event before continuing their pursuit of multiple championships in both
NHRA and IHRA.

Teen kart racer Jacob Pearlman (JP) earned his first pole position of 2007 at
California Speedway with the Los Angeles Kart Club. Pearlman was also the
fastest kart during the day and had a lead of more than 15 kart lengths during
his first HPV-2 race of the year.

During the brief qualifying session JP and two other lead karts caught
unexpected lapped traffic on the last circuit. He quickly turned his car into
the infield to avoid the traffic jam as the qualifying session ended. “Even
though he had to throw away his last qualifying lap he still managed to earn his
first pole position of the year,” said Richard Pearlman, Jacob’s father. “My son
was a full 6/10ths of a second ahead of the 2nd place qualifier.”

After three warm up laps the green flag waved for the heat race. JP jumped out
to the lead as the field dove into the first turn. He won by .34 seconds. “My
engine was running great,” said Pearlman. “But my kart setup needed to be better
for the main.”
In the 16 lap main event JP jumped out to an early lead. On lap 9 his kart
tossed the drive chain. “We’ve been running strong all year, but we’ve had some
tough breaks,” Pearlman said. “I know things are going to balance out very
soon.”
JP’s next race will be Round 4 of the Gatorz Karting Cup Rotax Max Challenge
Presented by Champ Car. “We travel to many different tracks for Jacob’s kart
racing,” said Richard Pearlman. “Our GMC Yukon tow vehicle averages 23,000 miles
a year, most of it pulling our trailer. Our K&N Engineering Filters and cold air
induction system are key parts to making sure that we have the power and
reliability to get over steep grades while towing 5000 pounds.”
