Allard took the win by a single vote in what is considered one of the toughest categories voted on by the Motor Sports Press Association. This is the 43rd year the MSPA has presented the oval track - open wheel award. Allard beat out a number of top drivers on a ballot that included three series champions, including Civil War Series winner Sean Becker.

Allard is one of the top sprint car drivers in the west. He joined the Williams Motorsports Team in 2005 and continues to add to his racing resume. “It really is a big accomplishment and I couldn’t be more excited to win this award,” said Allard. “We had a really good year in 2008 and we’re off to another great start in 2009.”
In 2008, Allard became the 3rd driver to capture multiple championships in the 23 year history of the Golden State Challenge Series. Allard also took third in the World of Outlaw Sprint Car Series sanctioned 55th annual Gold Cup Race of Champions at Silver Dollar Speedway.
He also picked up a huge victory during the 17th annual Pacific Sprint Fall Nationals and scored a trio of wins in New Zealand.
This year, Allard is strong again and is currently leading the point standing with the Golden State Challenge Series in his K&N Filters No.0. He hopes to get his third career series title, which would make him the second driver in series history to reach at least three King of California championships.
Allard plans to be at the top of his game all season. He continues to use K&N products. “K&N makes the best oil and air filters for our cars,” he said. “K&N is easy to use and maintain. We just wash, assemble and race.”
His next race will be the 38th annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cut June 18 at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington.
Team Falken Tire’s factory drivers made drift history and swept the podium at Wall Speedway in Wall Township, New Jersey. The event marked the first time one team has dominated the podium and the first time three Team Falken cars took the top three positions.

Wall Speedway, named ‘The Gauntlet’ is a 16-degree banked oval along the straightaway with 30 degrees on the turns before drivers move to the figure 8 infield portion of the course. There was rain early on competition day, but the skies cleared for the main and the track was ideal for door-to-door high speed battles. In the finals Gittin, Jr., stood up against McNamara in a closely fought match, but ultimately McNamara took the win.
Following round 3, McNamara advanced to first in points in the overall championship, Gittin, Jr., is in fifth place and McQuarrie moved forward to seventh place in the standings.
“Falken Tires would like to thank its drivers, staff associates and fans for helping make history and this long standing goal a reality for its team and brand,” according to a Falken news release. “Round 3 results truly show the capabilities of the Azenis RT-615 and its dedication to the sport of drifting. Autosport Dynamics has done an outstanding job building and preparing each of the three vehicles winning this round and the K&N filters helped keep the engines breathing while protecting them from the harsh track conditions and debris throughout the entire competition.”
Team Falken will head to hotter weather when Formula D hits Nevada for Round 4 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, July 10-11.
If I had to assign a title to this column, it would have to be “How Time Flies.” After all, we are already a third of the way into the 2009 season, and on top of that, it has been almost a year since my last On the Run column. As you can imagine, a lot has happened in that time, so without further ado, let’s get you caught up.
Warren Johnson, owner driver of the K&N Filters Pontiac GXP Pro Stocker
First of all, this year was almost over for us before it ever began. As I’m sure you are aware, last fall our longtime sponsor opted not to renew our contract. Their decision was certainly understandable in light of their current situation, and I thank them for their years of support, but the bottom line was that we were left in the unenviable position of having to find a sponsor in a very tough economic atmosphere.

Keeping in mind that I do this for a living, our off-season took on a completely different look than it had in past years. As our future participation was far from guaranteed, we did not spend any money on research and development, opting instead to freshen what we had in case something did come through. In addition, testing was kept to a minimum.
Our standards are exceedingly high simply because we’re used to being in position to win on a regular basis.
Fortunately, just before the start of the season, we were able to reach an agreement with Steve Williams and K&N Filters, without whose support we would have been parked. The K&N name is well-known in motorsports, having sponsored racers and events in virtually every arena, including the high-dollar NHRA K&N Horsepower Challenge for Pro Stock racers that will be held in Norwalk. I’ve been doing some development work with K&N over the last few years, and I’m proud to have them on our car. Although our search for additional sponsorship continues, K&N’s contribution has allowed us to remain on the tour.
With sponsorship in place, we then found ourselves playing catch-up in a very tough category. For example, three months into the season, we are just now getting our R&D efforts back up to speed. Certainly, that has put us a little behind, but we’ll work around it.
One thing working in our favor is that we seem to be all right in the power department. Therefore, our main priority right now is making Kurt’s and my cars a little more efficient. We’re looking at every part of our program, from the front door of the shop to the back. We’ve prioritized the areas we need to address and are tackling them one by one, making sure our changes don’t adversely affect the parts of our program that are already strong. Every week, we hold team meetings to see where we are and what we need to do.
However, we’ve still not been able to test as much as we’d like. Mother Nature has played a big role in that — for example, it has rained for most of the last week, severely crimping any plans we had — but we’ve also had limited chances to stay and test after a race, simply because we had to get back to the shop to tackle our already-delayed research-and-development work.
Looking at our season so far, the easiest way to put it is that there’s certainly room for improvement. Our standards are exceedingly high simply because we’re used to being in a position to win races on a regular basis. Therefore, I would have to classify our performance as just adequate because we have yet to win.
As much as that evaluation is a reflection on what we have been able to do, it must also be considered a tribute to our fellow Pro Stock competitors, who have obviously stepped up their programs. Even though we may have lost a few racers and teams, which I mostly attribute to the economy, Pro Stock is among the healthiest Professional categories, which speaks to its popularity. At every race, we have been able to consistently have enough cars to ensure we have a full field without resorting to alternative methods. In addition, from top to bottom, the competition is as close as it ever was.
Looking forward, I’m confident that our K&N Filters GXP will be in the thick of things shortly; after all, we’re relatively competitive right now. However, we know we still have to improve our program a little bit more and be able to do so on a consistent basis.
As anyone in the pits will tell you, all it takes to do that is money and work. We’ll take what we have to spend, see where we need to use it, and do so wisely, making sure we use every resource at our disposal. At the same time, work has never been an issue. We have plenty of hard-working people and elbow grease at the shop in Sugar Hill, Ga., and we’re not afraid to use it. Reprinted with permission from National DRAGSTER.
