“Mike Ferderer drove the K&N Filters/Pennzoil 2004 Pontiac Grand Am to victory after six rounds of eliminations and beat opponent Chris Lindsay in the final round in Super Comp. “This K&N Filters car has been deadly all year,” said Ferderer. “It ran close to perfect all day because of my K&N hood scoop and air filter. Even though it was warm when we started, then cool, then warm again, I had some of my best speeds with K&N.”

Ferderer is number one in the world in Lucas Oil Super Gas points

One week before the Fontana race in Medford, Oregon Ferderer bested Terry Wilcox in Super Gas at the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series. Ferderer has been running in Super Gas Class since the beginning of the season. After Medford, the win put him at number one in the world in Lucas Oil Super Gas points.

Ferderer can only claim points at two more races, one is National and one is Divisional. Ferderer switched from the Super Gas class to the Super Comp class at Fontana. He did this to save his last national event points earning race to claim at the NHRA World Finals in Pomona, California. He plans to claim his last divisional points race in Las Vegas. Ferderer won two races in two weeks in two different classes.

“If I get lucky, I’ll also win in Vegas,” he said. “But no matter where the points end up after Vegas I’m going into Pomona and I’m going there to win. Hopefully I’ll get to wear my penguin suit at the NHRA season ending awards banquet.”

Oct 3, 2008

Kings Speedway in Hanford, California hosted the two-night Tachi Open Wheel Invitational. Jonathan Allard owned the 360 Winged Sprint Car portion of the race.

Allard went into the annual Cotton Classic as defending champion of the event. A 22 car field was on hand for the 410 sprint portion of the night. Allard clocked the fastest lap in qualifying to give the K&N Filters No. 0 the fast time.

In the heat, Allard didn’t get the start he wanted and crossed the line in fifth, which forced him to start way back in 14th for the 25 lap main. The track surface was choppy and rough during the night, but Allard was able to move forward quickly and carve his way through the field.

By lap ten, Allard had already made it up to sixth and spent the last stages of the race charging forward. Allard passed Sammy Swindell, Bud Kaeding and Brent Kaeding to move into second place across the finish line.

“It was a good run for us and we’re happy with second after starting in the seventh row,” said Allard. “We use K&N oil and air filters along with K&N’s carbon fiber air box. K&N makes the best products, the oil and air filters are easy to use and maintain. K&N gives us an edge in sprint car racing and is dependable every time.”

The current King of California is hoping for his first career Pacific Sprint Fall Nationals title at Silver Dollar Speedway.
